There are some particular moral truths that I believe we have access to (such as the one not to inflict pain on a sentient being for no reason).

I have now come to the conclusion (roughly) that capital punishment is defensible, if it can be shown to have a deterrent effect on murder. In that case, a few executions save not only some people from being murdered but also some people from becoming murders.

What we need is legislation, not negotiation, for the entire globe.

I wanted to know what it means to know something, whether we can know at all, and, if so, how.

It is quite possible that we will soon come to live under some sort of global despotism, enlightened or not. This is not a nice prospect. And there is only one way of avoiding that this happens: to establish a global democracy. And it is not too late to strive for such a democracy, of a straightforward populist nature, where people on the globe elect a world parliament, which in turn elects a world government.

Actually, I defend the right to free abortion.

The best explanation why people agree is that they have converged on true answers.
