    So why would anyone listen to you about how to live it, especially ethically? No, really I am asking. I don’t want someone in my government heading up an agency that they don’t think should exist, or someone at my job who doesn’t want to work there, or date someone who doesn’t want to be with me.

    If you don’t want to exist that is your baggage but for those of us who do why would we trust you to tell us how to exist?

    Ethics is for us humans to figure out how to have a good life with other people also having one. It isn’t for serving some abstract concept. When you start the Peter Singer games you turn it from a practical art to worship of some secular idol.

      I don’t expect anyone to listen to me. Read the comments here. If anything my opinion has done a pretty good job of uniting people against how I view things.

      You don’t have to trust me or listen to my views. However, everyone that’s responded to me has implied that I should exist as they do.

      If ethics as a concept has the job of focusing solely on humans having a good life then it’s a failure.
