A (New) Darwinian Left - Peter Singer (Live in Melbourne)

The Joe Walker Podcast

CHAPTER

The Importance of Utilitarianism

Peter Singer is famous for arguing that we should all be giving significant amounts of our income to the global poor. In a live recording, he discusses multi-level selection theory and how it contrasts with selfish gene theory. The conversation was recorded at Peter's home in Melbourne but I decided on a whim to turn it into a live event. If you find yourself getting emotional, angry, or outraged by any of the ideas explored in this podcast, then I humbly ask that you unsubscribe from this podcast. It's imperative that as adults we're allowed to explore ideas in good faith.
