Peter Singer - ordinary people are evil
Jeffrey Kaplan
Philosopher Jeffrey Kaplan summarizes Peter Singer's 1972 essay 'Famine, Affluence, and Morality', arguing that failing to give to save lives is morally comparable to letting a child drown. It is a short lecture on the argument's structure.
HN recommends it as the best short exposition of Singer's argument for a duty to give.
