  • No bueno

    Episode 67 is a travesty, using animal rights activism as a pretext to letting three guests shill for Zionism, unchallenged. No one from the other side of the argument was invited to counter the outrageous claims made by your guests. Congratulations, you hosted a Zionist pity-party full of misinformation and genocide denial. Rating: one star. Will not be listening further.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Repugnant Conclusion of Effective Animal Altruism | Science of Activism
Q: How has the reception been among effective altruists to your paper, and what do you think could improve dialogue between communities?
The paper sparked constructive conversations but also polarized some EA readers due to the provocative title. Many discussions centered on whether animals in factory farms can ever have net positive welfare, and the debate highlighted differences in empirically grounded reasoning. Improving dialogue could involve presenting alternative frameworks openly, avoiding defensiveness, and highlighting concrete, positive collaborative paths that bring together welfarists and abolitionists around shared goals.
The Repugnant Conclusion of Effective Animal Altruism | Science of Activism
Q: What practical shift in goal do you propose for animal advocacy beyond maximizing welfare?
I propose focusing on reducing suffering as the primary objective rather than maximizing aggregate welfare. This broader goal opens a wider array of strategies, such as KH3-style campaigns to shut down or prevent factory farming, and can incorporate both welfare improvements and abolitionist aims without being tethered to a single utilitarian calculus.
The Repugnant Conclusion of Effective Animal Altruism | Science of Activism
Q: Could you summarize the Repugnant Conclusion as it applies to animal advocacy and why it matters for activists today?
The Repugnant Conclusion suggests that a very large population with each individual having only modest welfare could surpass a small, highly well-off population in terms of total welfare. This challenges the idea that maximizing net aggregate welfare should be the sole aim of animal advocacy, because it could justify expanding factory farming if the overall welfare balance remains positive. It matters today because it forces activists to scrutinize foundational goals and the ethical implications of tactics that prioritize quantity of welfare over quality.
Animal Liberation War Stories. With Paul, Gary & Jerry | Ep. 115
Q: Before we stop this recording, could you share one story of direct action that has stuck with you?
Each guest highlights a defining moment of risk and moral resolve, from liberating mink and beagles to invading ships or labs, illustrating how a small group can catalyze large-scale public attention and legal scrutiny.
Why Vegans Are Smarter. With Chris Bryant | Ep. 111
Q: What sparked your interest in studying the link between intelligence and veganism?
I was intrigued by recurring claims that smarter people tend to be vegans and wanted to see what the data actually shows, including how much of the association is causation versus correlation and what real mechanisms might explain any connection.
