    Excellent job Ben! This sounds more like a live speech than a reading, and it comes across as a personal effort to convince actual listeners - and it's more than justified by the argument in the article you're reading.

    "By what right? By what code? By what standard?" The perfect response to those who preach ethics that they dont understand.

    Excellent indeed! Prioritizing doing well for yourself does well for others much more than prioritizing doing well for others. This is non intuitive in a society inoculated with the idea that failure is morally good, and success is morally bad. Singer does a good job of ellucidating what altruism really means in principle as executed consistently. Most evade even that reality in their moral code. Of course Singer fails to think beyond the most simplistic level of cause/effect ...what those principles would lead to ...that such principles would leave us still in caves.

    Hot Take : Peter Singer is the most evil man alive. He is clearly intelligent enough to draw out the Reductio of his premises, are we truly to believe he does not see the Absurdum? I propose he revels in it, like Tertullian.

    Gates could do more but so do Singer!
    What a knob!

    Peter Singer is a green guru.
    Gates is almost a " left" CEO.

    Thank you! Excellent talk. I think it’s time I reread Atlas Shrugged.

    Who paid for the internet? Taxpayers. Should we allow for monopolies? To what extent? Great topic!

      Taxpayers paid in part for ARPAnet, but the Internet is as divorced from it as an EV is from a model T. The Internet is built on the corpses of thousands of failed ideas, protocols, and businesses. And since it is we - the consumers - who create (temporary) market leaders, who are politicians to decide otherwise?

      I have a monopoly on my life. You cannt have any part of it.
