Working Definition · Working Definition episode 12: Animals, with J.P. Andrew · 11 Jul 2026 podcast

You know, I think they're like it it's really I will say this it one should definitely avoid uh factory farmed eggs.

That's one of the worst things that one can consume really in terms of animal suffering.

But when I look at a fried egg, I'm not disgusted, right?

And um and I still kind of like

I desire cheese, um, even though I think I have strong moral reasons to avoid it.

So um, so yeah, like my my affective states have not tracked my moral reasons in a totally in a totally rational way.

But but yes, like to answer the question, it is definitely different in kind from merely what we might call like aesthetic disgust or something.

I but I can I can also say just from talking to other people, I mean there are

There are people who've been vegan for 30 years that still desire to eat to eat steak.

Um, and there, and there are others that are just revolted by any kind of animal product at all.

Uh I think it it does seem to be not terribly common for this kind of disgust reaction to develop, which I think is partially why the recidivism rate is so, so high, right?

Like, you know, people will encounter an argument in a philosophy.

philosophy class and become very convicted vegetarians, vegans.

And then a year later, after they're no longer being reminded, they're just right back to their old habits.

It's something that should probably be s it would be good to study.

And I feel that honestly would be valuable to study.

Yeah, there's an interesting there's an interesting philosophy paper that I I don't think yet exists, but that there there there could be a a moral obligation to in induce um disgust or revulsion in ourselves.

So there we can I I would co author that one with you if you want to get on that someday.

I if I if a if a kid if a kid just asked me that off the street, I would say, you know, the kind the the kind of being that dogs and cats and pigs and cows are, that's what I mean.
