I’ve barely read this post yet, though just based on seeing it I want to express my excitement that Peter Singer has opted to post again on the EA Forum for the first time in almost 9 years.
I’m not even aware whether Singer personally logged into the EA Forum then or it was a user account made on his behalf for posterity. Maybe Singer hasn’t even logged into publish this post.
It could be copy he authorized some site admin or assistant to post on his behalf. That’d be okay too. If Peter Singer himself is really, personally reading the other responses, that’s even better! That Singer has opted to keep looping in, as peers, any effective altruists who might well be strangers with nothing else to offer is humbling enough.
This feels to me like it might be more significant than Dustin Moskowitz’s revelations during the last year that he not only reads but takes into serious consideration the discourse among ordinary effective altruists (e.g., on the EA Forum, on Twitter, and, apparently, especially in the form of dank memes)! I wouldn’t be surprised if Dustin himself would be as giddy that you’d acknowledge even him of all people!
This comment might come across as weird and awkward, to Peter Singer, or others. Yet I can’t stress enough how humbling it is that the one person who thousands of effective altruists would hope the most to turn to for help is still asking all of us for help even now!
That not only the importance of but the feasibility to improve wild animal welfare; research substantiating with more precision the extent and understanding of piscine and invertebrate sentience; and developments in clean meat are so prominent in this new book proves how seriously Singer respects all the greatest contributions of EA to animal welfare and liberation! I am glad to reciprocate, so I will help! What we owe you for making it possible to do what we have done is a debt we’ll do our best to pay forward by helping you now!
