<p>Meet this guy and see what's the big deal</p>
<p>i'd advise against calling him a "sick man" to his face.</p>
<p>he's pretty reserved/quiet in person, not a jerk or anything.</p>
<p>apparently, as was discussed in the thread f.scottie mentioned, Peter Singer is the "world's most controversial ethicist". (<a href="http://people.brandeis.edu/%7Eteuber/singermag.html%5B/url%5D">http://people.brandeis.edu/~teuber/singermag.html</a> )
I am sure it will be interesting to meet him. The article in the link was actually the basis of my final for philosophy last year at Harvard SSP.</p>
<p>Tell us how it goes. I've heard of this guy!</p>
<p>Please tell us how this goes. This guy fascinates me as a teacher and I'd love to hear how he is in person, as a mentor/professor/superior.</p>
<p>I wouldn't order chicken! ;)</p>
<p>laughs, yes, please to tell</p>
<p>Um, didn't this "yesterday" pass?</p>
<p>ok well i'm kind of busy these days up here at Pton in the FSI program</p>
<p>LOADS of work</p>
<p>anyway the lunch fell through but he gave us FSIers a presentation about stem cell research....rather dry i thought. Anyway I could tell that he kind of mellowed out on his more extreme point of views (in my opinion at least)</p>
<p>What a let down. :(</p>
<p>seriously...</p>
<p>never mind guys ;) we can all drop by to see him in the fall.</p>
<p>Oh yes! I really hope to get on the ins with him, since he's a big whig at the Human Values Forum/Center for Human Values. Le sigh...</p>
