stunning to see
@PeterSinger strike out on the ethical softball of free expression v. Islam's graven image proscription.#oops -
Strange enough to witness
@PeterSinger's ignorance on that issue: stranger still to see@SamHarrisOrg claim to agree with him...? (@47 min.) -
Maybe you have to be an artist to understand that religious prohibition against making images is best criticized by the making of images.

, you don't have to be an artist to understand that.

I was surprised how squishy
@PeterSinger was over free speech vs. cartoons. Seemed like his position on holocaust denial 1/2 -
could be changed if Jews started killing over it. & that came across quite illogical or perhaps unprincipled. 2/2

@SamHarrisOrg@PeterSinger I think you're a bit off on new cows being a moral win if their lives are good due to problems w/potentiality. -
.
@SamHarrisOrg@PeterSinger e.g. If creating new, net happy lives is a moral good, then not procreating is bad to some degree. -
.
@SamHarrisOrg@PeterSinger You've acknowledged this problem with potentiality when criticizing pro-life arguments.
