My apologies - I get Peter Singer confused with David Boonin, a "philosopher" and "intellectual" who's argued himself into stupidity, and whose arguments constitute a threat to everyone who doesn't measure up to his standards of "worthy human life".
If you really want to see sociopathic sophistry with its sales-pitch tactics on full display, check out Boonin in
this debate.
So, would Peter Singer object if I were to put a gun to his forehead and pull the trigger? After all, I would just be acting as he proposes, right?
