    checks alt text

    Peter Singer

    OP can start with a proper text alternative.
    No way someone unable to read an image will get the content, and search engines won’t find it by missing text, either.

    Not cheating accessibility & editing a post to correct that is definitely in OP’s power.
    Nothing of comparable moral importance is lost by doing so.

    comparable moral importance

    Therein lies the problem. Who is doing the comparing?

    Yall should probably be aware that this guy is foundational to the technosalvationist philosophy that SV bros use to justify setting the planet on fire in order to summon AI Jesus.

    Edit:

    And also he’s a eugenicist.

    I feel like maybe I should leave some links.

    Nice one!

    I’d not heard of philosopher Peter Singer before, and I love that I got a nice little introduction here. 🤍

    Isn’t this the guy that said that humans are inherently evil because people don’t donate to charities? “Comparable moral importance”. Who dictates morale importance lmfao?
