Blind Insights - Should All Life Matter Equally?


Listen Later

Do you give to charity? Why or why not? It's complicated, right?
Hopefully in this episode of Blind Insights we can offer you an explanation of why you don't give to charity, or if you do, what charities achieve the most. We turn to Peter Singer, a leader and proponent of Effective Altruism, to look for answers about what we could do, and discuss why his arguments, as logical as they are, haven't revolutionised collective action. This episode is a hefty discussion covering topics from abortion to consciousness, so we'd love to hear from you about what you do for your community or charity and why.
If you have any thoughts, questions, or want to present your argument, contact us and send us an audio clip at [email protected]
