TLDR: Take the population ethics quiz here: https://mdickens.me/pop-ethics/
Population ethics is an oft-overlooked subfield within ethics. Many people hold views that they don't realize contradict each other, or that have strange implications that they wouldn't endorse if they thought about it more.
Not just that—population ethics is a BIG DEAL. A lot of ethical decisions hinge on how you think about changes in future populations....
Is this a proposal? If so, what value do you think there'd be in a news style EA podcast? If not, what's the purpose of this post?
A bit hostile there. This is a question for discussion
sorry about that, i didn’t mean to come off as hostile!
i’m legitimately wondering about both questions (conditional on your answer to the first). i’ll try again, hopefully with less hostile language:
2a) if so, cool! what’s your take? why do you think it’d be good?
2b) if not, i’m don’t quite understand what your goal was in posting this — i’m sure that you have a valid and valuable one, i just don’t want to assume.
did my rephrasing help? again, i’m so sorry to have come off as hostile in my previous comment. apologies!
