“To be fair to ethical vegetarians, I agree that most meat-eaters would be dumbfounded by their arguments. Walter Block’s piece on this issue was truly terrible. But the best explanation isn’t that the arguments for ethical vegetarianism are unanswerable. The best explanation is that most humans are terrible at philosophy! They have no decent response to solipsism, skepticism, moral relativism, eliminative materialism, the Problem of Other Minds, or virtually any other fundamental challenge to common sense. But common sense is still correct.” (07/23/25)
