watched because i’ve seen the cornel west clip in my intro phi class. this was cool i actually used peter singer as a source in my env ethics essay he’s part of the reason i’m vegetarian and it was neat to see a vid of him talking about stuff other than the environment. i liked the selection of philosophers. good balance
