Bentham's Bulldog: Singer, Suffering, 500 Million, Why God Exists, Dilbert, Unweaving
Words That Matter released a new issue curated by Bentham’s Bulldog, a visiting scholar at Forethought and upcoming Princeton philosophy Ph.D. candidate. The issue spotlights seminal works on effective altruism, wild‑animal suffering, smallpox eradication, the fine‑tuning argument, and AI’s potential economic shock, while also highlighting Bulldog’s own essays on charitable pledges and factory‑farm reform. Additionally, the piece promotes Matter, the read‑later app that has absorbed Pocket’s former user base. The collection blends philosophical rigor with actionable guidance for donors and tech‑savvy readers.
