Danny Abadon: I was wondering if you have a definition or a notion of what constitutes a moral subject. That is, where do we mark the line between things that we have a moral responsibility for and things that we do not or have less?

Welcome to the May 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
