Josh, Tim, and Rachel sit down to answer one of the most frequent questions about the Equal Rights Argument: “How do you respond to someone who says that you need to be ‘human plus something else’ like sentience to have equal rights, given that it seems like that combination gets around the problems in the Zoo Shooting thought experiment?”

To illustrate the problem Rachel plays pro-choice in a brief example dialogue with Tim, and we then discuss how to respond to the problem. To explain it, Tim gives some foundational background on where ERI is headed philosophically on the personhood question in general, although we’re still working on some of the details. We then offer multiple ways to respond to this pro-choice argument.

Josh, Tim and Jacob discuss the things they generally do when people “bite the bullet,” or accept the awful natural conclusion of their argument.

In parts two and three of this series we’ll discuss specific examples as well as how to think about the situation that happens sometimes when someone bites the bullet and then confidently walks away before you can respond.

Josh, Tim and Jacob continue their discussion, but now get into specific examples:

  • People who argue that squirrels are equally valuable as humans;
  • People who bite the bullet on the Thalidomide cases;
  • People who say that Carl should be allowed to kick Russel off the porch in “Up.”

In part three of this series we’ll discuss how to respond to hardcore relativists and people who bite the infanticide bullet as well as how to think about the situation that happens sometimes when someone bites the bullet and then confidently walks away before you can respond.

While Rachel Crawford was in town we spontaneously decided to record some improvised roleplay dialogues as well as some post-roleplay commentary. Nothing was scripted out, but it ended up going really well so we decided to turn them into podcast episodes. In this episode you’ll hear Rachel play the pro-choice side against Tim twice, as well as our discussions afterward about what Tim did well and what could have been better.

In this episode Tim gives a fuller explanation of the argument Josh presented in the course about avoiding burden of proof shifts, and responds to likely counter-arguments. For example, doesn’t the dialogue style Tim is teaching allow the pro-choice person to have too much of an advantage, or allow them to take too much control of the conversation?
