i don’t know what its leading up to its amazing
reading this as “may is a saint” instead of “may writes his own morality”
remember the champagne question? pretty much that
The Drowning Child
Good, that’s a pleasing response, especially if one takes into account that the idea that we have a greater moral obligation towards those who are local to us - our fellow country people, for example - than to those who are far away is not uncommon (albeit it is hard to justify).
Final Question
Likely you’ll be pleased to hear that you’re virtually at the end now. We just want to ask you one further question, but this time it isn’t specifically to do with the drowning child scenario. Here it is:
Are you morally obliged to make a relatively small donation, perhaps to the value of a new shirt or a night out at a restaurant, to an overseas aid agency such as Oxfam within the next few days (and even if you have previously made such a donation, perhaps even recently)?
Yes, I am morally obliged to make such a donation.
No, I am not morally obliged to make such a donation.
may is a saint and I am townreading him for his posts
so heavy handed for a man who has surely bought champagne before
i was just thinking of story and here they are
I said “who up birthing they day” on this stream
what the fuck is this
i could hear you. or i wake up at 6am on wednesdays
yes! save the metaphorical drowning child!
Most charities are either bloated, mismanaged, or scams, so never
i see no moral issue here
peter singer has never realized that charities have operation costs and that not all of your money is actually going to save people (and that it’s surely not gonna save people from drowning)
they do children saving stuff?
casually begins shilling
No.
It’s stupid.
ok i very much have to go to bed
good night cats
i think charities are an inherently flawed concept as they will continue receiving money so long as the problem exists
he’s so stuck up. has so much moral high ground. and for what. he’s super famous he has money and he’s not donating all of it to the point of marginal utility or whatever the fuck. he clearly values some level of affluence over human lives!
