One Thing to Consider in the New Year

Some of this season's suffering-alleviating world-famous crinkles.


As I've written (example), we should focus on alleviating the worst suffering, such as individuals with cluster headaches

Peter Singer recently wrote about how we, as a society, do just the opposite: The Best Treatment for the Most Painful Medical Condition Is Illegal

Peter frames it in terms of liberty, rather than suffering. I don't expect (g)libertarians to get on board with this message, but I appreciate the framing. 

Repeat:

I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a minute to let me know how this blog can be more useful to you.

Please reply to this email (if you get it over email), comment on this post (you can do so anonymously), directly email, or otherwise contact me with feedback and suggestions for the year ahead. (I still don't know how to best use this blog and my substack.)
