A discussion on Consequentialism, Virtue Ethics & Christianity in Effective Altruism - panelists: James Fodor, Leon di Stefano & Robert Martin with Andrew Bird moderating. Panelists discuss EA from a secular and christian viewpoint. Both christian panellists favor virtue ethics. Objections to consequentialism are brought up, for instance the claims that consequentialism is too demanding, consequentialism doesn't satisfy a sense of personal fulfillment etc From a christian perspective, how to decide how to allocate personal resources to do the most good - how much should be given to the church/spent on handing out bibles compared to spending money on bed nets in Africa to reduce the likelihood of people catching malaria etc. Note that Leon di Stefano gave a prelude talk to this panel also on Christianity & Effective Altruism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbAIE_R1MNE Many thanks for watching! - Support me via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scifuture - Please Subscribe to this Channel: http://youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=TheRationalFuture - Science, Technology & the Future website: http://scifuture.org
