    Discussing Peter Singer's Take on Animals

    First off, the subject matter for this one is intense, viewer discretion is advised. The start of Edmund Howe's article in the Journal of Clinical Ethics says it all. "Peter Singer, a leading philosopher who advocates animals' interests. expressed views on human/animal sex in an on-line book review. He said that while he didn't regard bestiality as "normal or natural," he didn't find it necessarily offensive" to our status and dignity a human being. He said this to highlight what he sees as many humans' hypocrisy regarding the treatment of animals: they are outraged at human/animal sex, when no one, ostensibly, is harmed. Yet these same people may show no concern when thousands of animals suffer needlessly every day." (https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi...) This take starts the conversation which quickly expands into the difference between humans and animals (a difference in degree or in kind?).

    Accountability

    Join us as we delve into the role accountability plays in society. We all seem to agree it is essential, but why? What are the consequences when people can't be held accountable? What does it mean for government, policy, and AI? John's Cryptocracy is relevant, as is Grant's Modeling Maximum-Tent Morality which explore how to deal with a lack of accountability among the governing class and moral principles that can facilitate greater accountability to ourselves and each other respectively. https://barsoom.substack.com/p/cryptocracy https://radicalamerican.substack.com/p/modeling-maximum-tent-morality

    The Internet is a Brain With Schizophrenia

    In this episode of Tonic Discussions we dive deep into the depths of John Carter's recent article examining the apparent relationship between the interaction of the hemispheres of the human brain and politics. Perhaps a useful framework to reflect on all cognition, this article (and accompanying discussion here) found fertile ground focusing on these particular implications.
