For many years, I devoted myself to improving human health and wellbeing. But then I shifted to working to prevent suffering for animals. In this post, I will briefly share some considerations that pushed me to make this change. Violence The phrase ‘animal welfare' can sound pretty calm and gentle. But when we talk about ‘animal welfare', we are usually talking about preventing direct, brutal, physical *violence* against sentient beings. Animals in the food system are brutalised, beaten, confined, stabbed, castrated, cut, boiled alive, dragged, gassed, asphyxiated, separated from their mothers/children, violated, skinned. Imagine being castrated, with no anaesthetic. Having your throat slit while you are still conscious. Violated, and forcibly inseminated. Being crammed into a tiny, tiny space for days on end, where you can't stretch your limbs, or turn around. Skinned alive. There is something so…brutal, maximalist, harsh, extreme about the intense physical violence that we [...] --- First published: October 10th, 2024 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/RZEvk6cBtBg2mpgwS/trigger-warning-violence-animal-vs-human-welfare-sharing --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

This post outlines the capability approach to thinking about human welfare. I think that this approach, while very popular in international development, is neglected in EA. While the capability approach has problems, I think that it provides a better approach to thinking about improving human welfare than approaches based on measuring happiness or subjective wellbeing (SWB) or approaches based on preference satisfaction. Finally, even if you disagree that the capability approach is best, I think this post will be useful to you because it may clarify why many people and organizations in the international development or global health space take the positions that they do. I will be drawing heavily on the work of Amartya Sen, but I will often not be citing specific texts because I'm an academic and getting to write without careful citations is thrilling.Original article:https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/zy6jGPeFKHaoxKEfT/the-capability-approachNarrated for the Effective Altruism Forum by TYPE III AUDIO.Share feedback on this narration.
