              Thanks for following up. I wrote a long thoughtful reply then fatfingered my screen and lost the whole thing! The long and short of it is, i agree with you that there are many…

                  Vegetarian who enjoyed your post here. I found your arguments well reasoned, the main sticking point to me was the marginal case argument. I would argue that our preference for…

                      Hard to see what rational grounds we could use to justify valuing human life more highly than that of any other animal.

                        You have that last point exactly right. I can't say definitely that he didn't say anything about animals, but I expect that his position is very similar to what you just…

                          I've been to lazy to look it up, but I don't recall anything about Benthem including animals in the matrix. I've been meaning do a summary of utilitarianism anyway, so I'll…

                              Completely agree with you on both counts, and I agree that there are a lot of really good people in agriculture doing their best to reduce suffering; most people are good, in…

                                I agree that there's no universal ethic against killing animals to eat. My wife and I recently started a largely plant-based diet, one of the reasons we've reduced meat (other…

                                    Utilitarian philosophy is actually pretty reasonable when it is applied to humans. I had never seen anyone attempt to use it to propagandize animal "rights". Sigh, now I have…

                                          I agree with you there. There's a lot I come across today that just makes me feel bad, and being a self-proclaimed progressive man it should make me feel like I want to do more.
