Searle tries 'not to think about animal rights' because he thinks he'd have to go veggie if he did. Argh! That makes it even more unethical.

@SteveCooke Hmmm. Isn't that just what we all do in the West with respect to the vast disparity between our wealth & starving people, etc?

@PhilosophyExp I'm not convinced it's directly analogous (there's a story about pursuing personal projects), but yes, & it's still wrong.

@SteveCooke behaves less badly if they eat meat, don't feed the poor, beat their spouse, etc...

@PhilosophyExp not on whether the beliefs you hold are strongly held.
