More From Peter Singer

If i may add, for instance, [martin luther] king and these others will say that they are fighting for the negro to have equal job opportunity. how can people, a group of people, such as our people, who own no factories, have equal job opportunities competing against the race that owns the factories?the only way the two can have equal job opportunities is if black people have factories as, as well as white people have factories.

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.

As to ethics, unfortunately, we are still at sea. we never did have any popular base for what little ethics we knew, except the religious theories, and now that our faith is shaken in those theories we cannot account for ethics at all. it is no wonder we behave badly, we are literally ignorant of the laws of ethics, which is the simplest of sciences, the most necessary, the most continuously needed. the childish misconduct of our 'revolted youth' is quite equaled by that of older people, and neither young nor old seem to have any understanding of the reasons why conduct is 'good' or 'bad.

I believe that the best way to create good living conditions for any animal, whether it's a captive animal living in a zoo, a farm animal or a pet, is to base animal welfare programs on the core emotion systems in the brain. my theory is that the environment animals live in should activate their positive emotions as much as possible, and not activate their negative emotions any more than necessary. if we get the animal's emotions rights, we will have fewer problem behaviors... all animals and people have the same core emotion systems in the brain.
Zoos Believe Animal
No one paid any attention to how things looked, and as they moved faster and faster everything grew uglier and dirtier, and as everything grew uglier and dirtier they moved faster and faster, and at last a very strange thing began to happen. because nobody cared, the city slowly began to disappear. day by day the buildings grew fainter and fainter, and the streets faded away, until at last it was entirely invisible. there was nothing to see at all.
Cities Attention Lasts
For me the two biggest issues are climate change and animal welfare/animal agriculture. and oddly enough animal agriculture is such a contributor to climate change. according to the united nations, 25% of climate change comes from animal agriculture, so every car, bus, boat, truck, airplane combined has less co2 and methane emissions than animal agriculture.

Our borders are much too porous...we want to keep them open, but we also have to be much more careful. ...right now, if you get on an airplane [to the u.s.] and claim asylum...when you arrive at kennedy airport in new york, they will say to you, 'ok, we'll give you a hearing on whether you deserve asylum. show up in a year.' and two-thirds of the people never show up.

If i had to choose, i would rather have birds than airplanes.
Airplane Science Technology
The evil of technology was not technology itself, lindbergh came to see after the war, not in airplanes or the myriad contrivances of modern technical igenuity, but in the extent to which they can distance us from our better moral nature, or sense of personal accountability.
War Distance Airplane
My idea of everything going smoothly on an airplane is (a) that i not die in a slow-motion fiery crash or get stabbed to death by terrorists and (b) that none of the other passengers try to talk to me. all conversation should end at the moment the wheels leave the ground.
