A simple litmus test for self-described utilitarians: would you trade places with someone much worse off if it increased the net supply of human happiness?

Very happy to share that The Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics is now finished and will be out in the next few months! Some of it is already published online. If you're interested in #DigitalEthics, #AIEthics, #ethics, #privacy, #AI, #philosophy, this one is for you... 🧵👇
In this chapter, @SvenNyholm relates the new area of the ethics of human–#robot interaction to traditional ethical theories such as #utilitarianism, Kantian #ethics, and virtue ethics. #AIEthics

In this chapter, Emily Sullivan and Mark Alfano (@moral_psych) develop a normative epistemic framework for sharing information online. They argue recent technological developments call for a rethinking of the norms of testimony. #epistemology

awww - how I would LOVE to write about the 2 faces of #utilitarianism in the light of our digital future and how the #CookieMonster embodies
1) the worst dystopia and
2) the best utopia same time.
Problem is:
I am trapped in the space-time continuum. Just like ...

The cookie monster.
And my twitter life has too many cookies on the tray.
And there are just 44 minutes left before I will start my shopping trip with K1.
Oh - 43.

Actually, no. Consent is a concept of contractualism, but my arguments are based on utilitarianism where you don't measure things based on consent but based on the happiness or suffering an action creates.
Contractualism is a political theory and can only be applied to those who can give consent as defined by that theory. Within that theory everyone who can't consent has no rights and the theory provides no reason to treat them morally.
This thread is for #white #vegans & #animalrights activists who recognize we are often the problem in the way we articulate issues having to do with the other animals. One step is to learn as much as you can about #WhiteSupremacy & #WhitePrivilege. Read! #BlackHistoryMonth2020
Do you know the history of the Civil Rights movement? You could start by reading vol 1 of "America in the King Years," "Parting the Waters" by @taylorbranch. simonandschuster.com/books/Parting-…
@taylorbranch In 1962, the Civil Rights Commission was going to make a very strong statement about racism. Politically, it would be problematic for President Kennedy. JFK was told "It is legal for the police to use dogs." So, turn to "Afro-Dog" next. cup.columbia.edu/book/afro-dog/…
