ok i very much have to go to bed
good night cats
i think charities are an inherently flawed concept as they will continue receiving money so long as the problem exists
heās so stuck up. has so much moral high ground. and for what. heās super famous he has money and heās not donating all of it to the point of marginal utility or whatever the fuck. he clearly values some level of affluence over human lives!
Imagine sleeping before 6am

Analysis Summary
This activity is based on a thought experiment devised by Peter Singer that aims to show that if there is a moral obligation to rescue a drowning child (without sacrificing anything morally significant - i.e., at no great cost to the rescuer), then there is also a moral obligation to make a small donation to an overseas aid agency. As Singer puts it,
we are all in that situation of the person passing the shallow pond: we can all save lives of people, both children and adults, who would otherwise die, and we can do so at a very small cost to us: the cost of a new CD, a shirt or a night out at a restaurant or concert, can mean the difference between life and death to more than one person somewhere in the world ā and overseas aid agencies like Oxfam overcome the problem of acting at a distance.
This activity translates some of the objections that people raise against this sort of argument into the language of the drowning child scenario (more of which in a moment), and then uses your responses to each variation of the scenario to determine whether these objections are available to you, and on this basis calculates whether you should judge yourself morally obliged to make a donation within the next few days (assuming, that is, that you accepted that you had a prima facie obligation to rescue the drowning child).
As you can see from the chart above, we have calculated your Obligation Imperative to be 100%. This represents a strong obligation to make a donation to an overseas aid agency within the next few days. In your own terms, you should consider doing so immediately.
well like it depends on the charity. some charities (as mentioned in this thread) are ~scams/basically donāt do anything/spend all their money on overhead, and some charities do things that are not āsaving children,ā but there are charities in the intersection of āsave childrenā and ānot scamsā

(caveat that the cost of saving-a-life-in-expectation is usually a lot higher than āone night at a restaurantā)

this proving you need to make a donation
he uh. thinks disabled people should be euthanized (EXTREMELY BAD OPINION)
