Peter Singer is a Consequentialist Hedonic Utilitarian Ethicist.
It's his professional job to be good at ethics and teach others about ethics.
He thinks the best ethics are judged by the consequences, and that good is the best for the most people.
He has a podcast. It's probably great. He is cool. I only just heard about it.
But this is his website.
The podcast is offered on Spotify and Apple.
It has an AI chat bot that isn't even prompted well to sound like Peter for no reason at all.
It has a embed for a substack.
That embed for a substack is expired because it's run by a thing called Supascribe that is presumably some software as a service scam.
Below that is a cookie permissions banner which is asking for permission to spy on you for advertisers even though there are no actual adverts on the site.
There are links at the top and bottom to Facebook and Instagram.
There is no RSS feed embedded in the page.
I repeat: Peter Singer is actually pretty cool, and he thinks about ethics sanely.
This is the web we have built. Where a professional Consequentialist Hedonic Utilitarian Ethicist does all this.
