The Benefits and Burdens of Meat Consumption by Cynthia Coyle, Ashley McKinstry

“…When balancing the benefits and burdens of meat consumption, it is vital that we choose a path forward that produces the greatest good or pleasure for the greatest number of people. Utilitarian philosopher Peter Singer, an advocate for animal rights and vegan diets, argues that decreasing meat consumption is “a means toward reducing both human and animal suffering, and leaving a more habitable planet for future generations.”[10] By drastically decreasing the number of cattle, fish, and birds killed and consumed every year, we limit greenhouse gas emissions and create a more sustainable environment—a benefit not only for ourselves, but also for subsequent generations. …”

Leveraging Law as the Principal Instrument of Public Health Policy by Donna Hanrahan

“…Any infringement on liberty, privacy, individual choice, and economic freedom can be seen as a violation of rights.Similarly, Kantian philosophers would argue that an individual cannot be used to further another’s objectives without regard to his own goals, or in other words, a man should not be used as a means to an end. …”

Relaxing Mask Mandates in New Jersey by Wesley J. Park

“…Yet, the precautionary principle is an ill-defined concept that is philosophically problematic. Health economist Jay Bhattacharya and epidemiologist Sunetra Gupta argue that the precautionary principle cuts both ways because a public health mandate without high-quality evidence has both potential benefits and potential harms.[9] If the precautionary principle can justify implementing mask mandates due to the risk of forgoing possible benefit, then it might also be able to justify not implementing mask mandates due to the risk of potential harm caused by the intervention. …”

Transgression Now by Charlie Blake, Steen Christiansen

“…Bearing this image of the zig zag flash of transgression in mind (which, in the case of Deleuze and Guattari, might be more accurately rendered as transversality, or as Deleuze puts it in relation to Spinoza, the 'witch's path,' in that transgression per se is not central to their project), (Deleuze, 1988, p.1) it might also be fair to claim, as Nick Land has suggested, that the retrospective notion of Bataille as a 'philosopher of transgression' has little or no justification considering the sparse use of the term itself in his work (Land, 1992, p. 63). …”

AI and Incidental Findings by Eric Cyphers, Venkatesh Krishnasamy, Joshua Weintraub

“…The Duty to Easy Rescue While the duty to easy rescue is not the basis for reporting incidental findings normally, it may provide an ethical basis for the retrospective use of NLP to find actionable incidental findings that were not properly communicated or that did not lead to follow-up care. Philosopher Peter Singer described the duty to easy rescue through this famous thought experiment: “If I am walking past a shallow pond and see a child drowning in it, I ought to wade in and pull the child out. …”

Architecture: from time of mind to time of nature by Ettore Rocca

“…In a short essay entitled “The ruin” (1907), the German philosopher Georg Simmel expresses this point as follows: «In poetry, painting, music, the laws governing the materials must be made dumbly submissive to the artistic conception which, in the accomplished work, wholly and invisibly absorbs them» (Simmel, 1907)2.  …”
