Top 10 Magnus Vinding Quotes (2024 Update)

Magnus Vinding Quote: “The point of the term “suffering-focused ethics” is... not to be a novel or impressive contribution to ethical theorizing, but instead to serve as a pragmatic concept that can unite as effective a coalition as possible toward the shared aim of making a real-world difference – to reduce suffering for sentient beings.”
Magnus Vinding Quote: “Being forced to endure torture rather than dreamless sleep, or an otherwise neutral state, would be a tragedy of a fundamentally different kind than being forced to “endure” a neutral state instead of a state of maximal bliss.”
Magnus Vinding Quote: “Perhaps one of the best things we can do to entrench better values in our institutions and in society at large is to promote sentiocracy – working to gradually increase the concern for and representation of non-human beings in the political process, and thus to make sentiocracy the future of democracy.”
Magnus Vinding Quote: “In short, our mission is to advance reasoned and compassionate politics for all sentient beings.”
Magnus Vinding Quote: “In light of this unconscious self-deception, one could argue that the attitude we should ideally adopt toward our own motives is roughly the same as the skeptical attitude that we tend to have toward the claims of a politician seeking to get elected.”
Magnus Vinding Quote: “We are using our resources to export food from countries where human beings die of starvation, and this we do in order to feed animals who live terrible lives, and we then kill these animals and eat their meat in amounts that raise our mortality risk significantly.”
Magnus Vinding Quote: “The first steps toward motivated reasoning occur prior to conscious awareness, meaning that we often find ourselves on a moving train of motivated reasoning long before we can frame our first deliberate thought.”
Magnus Vinding Quote: “We kill more than 50 billion animals every year in order to eat them, and that is just land animals alone, and we spend many of our resources on these – we for instance feed them with nearly 40 percent of all the grain in the world, which is more than enough grain to feed another two billion people.”
Magnus Vinding Quote: “Giving equal consideration to all suffering will likely mean prioritizing non-human suffering on the margin, partly because non-human beings are so numerous, partly because their suffering is often extremely intense, and partly because their suffering is uniquely neglected – especially the suffering occurring on factory farms, in the fishing industry, and in nature; three of the biggest screaming elephants in the room of modern political discourse.”
Magnus Vinding Quote: “While it must be acknowledged that modern political systems work well in a number of ways, especially compared to those systems that wholly suppress civil liberties, it is also true that our political culture and ways of thinking about politics remain starkly underdeveloped and suboptimal in many ways. At the level of our individual thinking, collective norms, and the overarching cultural frameworks with which we tackle politics, there is great potential to do better.”
Magnus Vinding Quote: “Given that our minds are the seat of all our beliefs and attitudes about politics, it is only reasonable that we make it a priority to understand the common function and pitfalls of our political minds, and that we seek to transcend these pitfalls rather than blindly allowing them to dictate our views.”
