24:01 The young man still is stuck in his Utilitarianism framework 😔 Advocating to exploit and needlessly harm innocent sentient individuals less is a sure fire recipe to further entrench the conditioning of people to always view animals as commodities. 😡 It's a horrible approach ( to merely advocate to reduce participating in the unjustified exploitation and harming of animals) if the goal is to achieve justice for animals.
A very high level cerebral debate. I'm a philosophy graduate myself, and it is virtually impossible for anyone who studies ethics at an academic level to not at least have serious sympathy for the vegan position. Hope that this man comes on-board totally.
I can, worked in a factory where I was the only Vegan, I was a source of amusement to the other men there, what they didn't understand was how stupid, immature and pathetic they made themselves look. Did it bother me, not at all as I don't care what anyone else thinks of me.
Same. Working class in a factory; there's such a 'macho' must eat meat for protein in every meal mentality. It's laughable when their all eating white bread with dead flesh and joke about me having wholemeal with hummus & salad. People are so naive about their long term health....
The vegan messaging is simple. Animals have a right to live free from harm & exploitation just like us! Thanks Joey for working so hard to defend animals. 🌱🌎💯
Been vegan for 12 months and will be for the rest of my life due to you Joey. thank you mate, i feel a lot better physically, way less brain fog and the best part is less animals are now senselessly murdered because of it
@@55749 Yes. Slaughterhouse scumbags who have been caught abusing and torturing the animals before slaughter are jailed quite often. And you raise an interesting point which highlights the hypocrisy and bizzarity of the legal system and laws around animal welfare.

It's also fine to cut off a piglet's tail and balls with scissors and remove their teeth with pliers - but kick a pig when it's being herded to the killing floor and it's criminal behaviour. We really are a demonic and hopeless species.
Hi! I’m Joe from the video (not Joey), and I wasn’t going to go on out of fear that I was not the sort of person Joey had in mind to talk to - but seeing your comment makes me really glad I did!
@@joefennell6220 Thank you for making the discussion interesting and challenging! You represented consequentialism much better than I usually see it represented. Rooting for your vegan journey to be as good for you as mine is for me!
@Katharina H. He never said veganism is a diet just he was going to eat a vegan diet which implies the food vegans eat.. why toss such a pointless comment out there at someone wanting to be vegan?
One of the better interviewees. A conversation at a more sophisticated level but still the gaps were addressed by Joey, also successfully making conversions at those levels. It's great how you're well informed at advanced levels.
Great conversation! I'm always impressed by people who sit down willing to listen, discuss their ideas and show that they're open about having their minds changed. Also really lovely moment when you stopped the debate to grab a coat for him! 😆
That was an incredible debate. Who wouldn't like honest Joe. Impressive debating skills from Joey, he knows all there is to know. Cosmic Skeptic could learn a lot from watching this. Is Joey the last street activist in GB now? There used to be so many.
This is how it's done! 💚 I love it. A respectful and open minded discussion and a change of mind because of being true and consistent with their own values. Thank you for that conversation. I really enjoyed it a lot.
Much respect for that guy for examining his position and seeing the contradictions in it! I think this is a good example of how when you commit to consistency and logically engage with the facts that veganism is the only real answer. Every rationalization for eating meat can't escape the fundamental fact that we're talking about enslaving, torturing, and killing animals solely for our pleasure.
Veganism is obviously not the only answer. The guilt tripping and empty claims don't work on most people because they simply don't share your moral views and don't accept them. Your own positions are contradictory where you advocate equal rights to all sentient beings but then don't start that "suffering prevention" in the animal kingdom where the level of suffering and methods used to kill prey cause much more of that suffering you claim to fight against. Why don't you stop the lions from biting the nuts of other animals first and then whine about the methods we use?
everybody is against causing pain and suffering to animals. We are born this way. We are taught to care about certain animals and not others. Then when confronted, we do everything we can to try and justify it. when you listen closely, all the justifications are truly absurd. Great interview! Thank you 🙏🏼
@@watch-Dominion-2018 I'd say most are against It but because they are sheltered from the truth and blind of what happens from their consumption of the products, they don't actually think about it most of the time.
@@watch-Dominion-2018good points. the majority of people don’t look at it that way. they don’t realize or think about it happening - or they tell themselves that the animals live a good life and do not suffer and feel no pain.
Joey engaging with these philosophy and ethics students is glorious. A perfect moment in time to use logic aligned with love to break through dry dead end logic. They'll never forget these conversations.
Your philosophical arguments have gotten so good in these recent debate videos. Excellent stuff 👍 I saw your videos almost 5 years ago now and they (and similar ones from Earthling Ed stand out in memory) are the reason I am vegan today. Will be 5 years in May ✊🥦 Keep it up!
I'm vegan and antispeciesist, but I always found freeganism very interesting. Also things like buying second hand wool or leather (I mostly buy second hand stuff bcs I don't wanna support fast fashion)... I'm chosing not to do it because it makes me uncomfortable knowing that I'm wearing what should not be mine, but I wore my old leather boots to pieces (I'm not rich and when I became vegan I wasn't able to just go and buy new boots). I'm still wearing old wool (too consumed to be given away) and I don't feel good doing it, but ultimately I think this is a grey area and that I cannot do more than my best. I'm open to hearing other people's opinion on the subject
Agreed with you, I know someone who is freegan, he lives a fungal lifestyle ,does dumpster diving and hitch-hiking even he could have lived perfectly comfortable .actually I am kinda admire him but personally I can't no longer stand the taste of animals , it's funny because I used to love eating animals .
@@pintw4379 I get you on the taste thing! The fact is that now when I see meat, leather, wool, etc, I know what there is behind it and I just cannot see it as food/as materials I'm okay with using. I understand the ethics of freeganism, but in the long run it should lead to veganism (or veganism + freeganism), since scrap meat can only exist as long as meat consumption exists, etc... (for now, tho, it is probably something good (?))
@@pintw4379 fun·gal /ˈfəNGɡ(ə)l/ adjective of or caused by a fungus or fungi. "fungal diseases such as mildew" I guess spending time in dumpsters has its consequences!
I've been vegan for a good few years now, but still wear leather & wool products I owned previously. I'm not going to ditch them as it would create the need to buy other items unnecessarily. I don't feel that using these items until the end of their life is ethically bad, just more sustainable.
Genuinely your most interesting conversation. Need more like this fella who have more than 2 brain cells to knock together...I'm still uncertain about where I stand between the two of your views, although definitely would never be fregan as I don't think it holds up from a consequentialist perspective.

This conversation was a superb example of two intellectual individuals philosophising in its raw form to reach an final view point that makes sense without letting ego interfere with the objective. A class act from both men 👏 👏👏 love to see it.
This was an awesome debate Joey. Really like the wikipedia definition popups and summarizations in between. It was delighting to see you getting an upper hand over even a philosopher. I think anyone who is a true philosopher would have to be a vegan for sure. Alex has just fallen in my eyes.

Around the 20 minute mark the comparison between politics and veganism came up, and I think there's a very important difference - if you tell someone they should go vegan, they can make as little or as much of a change as they like. A 'middle ground' appproach makes more sense in politics because when you're voting you either take it or leave it with the policies that the party wants to put in place (somewhat, at least). With veganism the only middle ground is how much someone decides to implement things themselves, so you should advocate truthfully and completely. Great video as always, Joey :)
@@MustardSkaven It sounds a bit odd to me, and I think words are important to have a better understanding of who we are defending from oppression. Like if I said "whites and races" or if I called females, "non-males", it's drawing an unusual line between humans and other animals. Many humans think they are not an animal and follow human supremacists beliefs. So using better words to describe other animals, will get us closer to reducing suffering. ✌️
@@leviahimsa It shouldn't sound odd to you. If it sounds odd to you, you definitely live under a rock. "animal" is commonly used to refer to non-humans, even by vegans.

Like racism, sexism, homophobia etc, it's just another stupid cognitive bias that we humans are prone to suffer from. It's great to see someone who is willing and able to self-reflect on this instead of become defensive.
Great one, Joey! Honestly, fair points towards the end, too, in terms of efficiency of advocacy. I wish everyone we talk to made the connection ethically to see animals as individuals with I heart value, but… BUT 😪
Great discussion Joey. This is an important talking point for animal rights. I'd have loved if a Cosmic Skeptic of a year ago made a response video to this, as I think his old stance was somewhere in between the two of you here. Though maybe you're right, that being not absolutist eventually leads to regression as we've seen with Alex as well.
Why does everyone say MEAT=== the ANIMALS are LIVING BREATHING CREATURES of a DIFFERENT SPECIES so I feel they say MEAT to make themselves FEEL GOOD instead of calling the ANIMALS what they TRULY ARE COW PIG CHICKEN SHEEP ETC.....
to not think of the animals as living beings. They are cowards who can only stomach tortured dead animals if they refer to them as a thing rather than a being.
Very interesting indeed. It's always great conversations with people who are sensible, reasonable with intelligence. With people unable to think beyond tradition, holy books, it's often exasperating just to listen to.
@@Indrave_2274 Yes , unlike you , she's also a reasonable person. Still waiting for you explain your argument over on the other thread , buddy. Will I be waiting long ? 😅 I doubt you even understood what I was talking about .
@@Indrave_2274 Yes , unlike you , I like to have reasoned arguments. All you could manage were baseless assertions and insults. Are you ever going to explain yourself ? I'm still waiting for you to give me any kind of reason whatsoever. I'd be embarrassed to pretend that I had an argument I didn't want to share. It's pathetic.
I think this is the most intellectually stimulating vegan debate I’ve ever seen. WAY TO GO JOEY!!! The work you go does make activists (including myself.)
Seems like the 1st step is making the connection. Even though we all know fundamentally that a steak or a hamburger or wings come from animals or more accurately IS/WAS AN ANIMAL, the meat industry products have become accepted in society and disconnected from the actual killing of a sentient life. We need to help everyone make the connection. 🙃
Killing someone even if nobody suffers from it can still be anti-utilitarian, because we are not taking into account the potential wellbeing the one being killed could generate for themselves and others
Why does Joey always look around when the other person is talking. It's annoying and distracting, and clearly he's not completely focused on what the other person is saying. I enjoy his work, but this is a common theme in his videos.
That was an excellent conversation. Thanks, Joey. What an honest young man this other Joe appears to be! I hope he goes vegan. Once you know why it’s not hard at all ❤
A consequentialist can say that death is bad even if it doesnt cause you suffering for a number of reasons (1) deprives you of the rest of your life (2) violates preferences of a psychologically continuous being (3) rights, yeah, rights, you can easily include rights in a consequentialist framework, like Mill or Sidgwick. Once you ground them on utility, you can just appeal to the right, you dont need to always appeal to your criterion of goodness, utility, if you have justified a rule or right based decision procedure.
Yeah, I always get a bit frustrated when fellow consequentialists don’t mention the deprivation of future utility. Even if you could hypothetically unalive someone without any suffering, it’s almost always wrong, as you’re preventing them from experiencing future happiness. I think this fits pretty well with our moral intuitions, too. We would be against doing the suffering-free unaliving UNLESS the being would experience a net negative utility for the rest of their life. In practice, this means we would advocate for the Platonic ideal of mercy unalivings: no harm in the act, and the prevention of major suffering in the future. I find this very palatable.
This one was interesting. It got into some uncomfortable territory! We ended up chatting quite a bit after this as well, good to meet you Joe.

Great one, Joey! Honestly, fair points towards the end, too, in terms of efficiency of advocacy. I wish everyone we talk to made the connection ethically to see animals as individuals with I heart value, but… BUT 😪
Love you vids joey brother
Joey has really upgraded his higher intellectual debate chops. Awesome talk.
Highly enjoyed this debate. Joey, you are a king!
Excellent conversation. Well done Joey and other person is gets my respect too 💚
Thank you Joey for everything you do!!! ❤
Love this series Joey. This discussion is right up there with my favourites.
Good debate. Well done.
Great discussion Joey. This is an important talking point for animal rights. I'd have loved if a Cosmic Skeptic of a year ago made a response video to this, as I think his old stance was somewhere in between the two of you here. Though maybe you're right, that being not absolutist eventually leads to regression as we've seen with Alex as well.
We need this human in the movement! He would be such a good advocate for the animals. He has charisma and he’s so smart. 🙌🏼
Brilliant👏🏼
Your greatest debate yet.
Thanks for speaking up against animal cruelty.
Bravo Joe Vegan Bro!!! Great job!!! 🌿🌾✔️
Joey is awesome!
Why does everyone say MEAT=== the ANIMALS are LIVING BREATHING CREATURES of a DIFFERENT SPECIES
so I feel they say MEAT to make themselves FEEL GOOD
instead of calling the ANIMALS what they TRULY ARE
COW PIG CHICKEN SHEEP ETC.....
to not think of the animals as living beings. They are cowards who can only stomach tortured dead animals if they refer to them as a thing rather than a being.
@@watch-Dominion-2018 yes, to make themselves feel better.
@@pacmanmcgavin5980 are you the vegan Pacman McGavin or the carnist one? Can't often tell
@@watch-Dominion-2018 I am vegan. And I am the one and only McGavin!
@@pacmanmcgavin5980 i keep seeing channels with your name trashing veganism tho
Good job!
I went vegan after losing so many debates to joeys fans
Very interesting indeed. It's always great conversations with people who are sensible, reasonable with intelligence. With people unable to think beyond tradition, holy books, it's often exasperating just to listen to.
AWESOME very intelligent discussion HOPE THE GUY GOES VEGAN 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Moral consistency and vulnerability through honesty are very attractive qualities, Joes!
Damn Joey, your expression of ideas has a lot more clarity and depth compared to what it was a few years ago. 👍👍👍
You wouldn't know up from down .
@@FreshGreenMoss Your mom does though 😝
@@Indrave_2274 Yes , unlike you , she's also a reasonable person.
Still waiting for you explain your argument over on the other thread , buddy. Will I be waiting long ? 😅
I doubt you even understood what I was talking about .
@@FreshGreenMoss Reasonable? Bruh. Head game was on another level. Wait long enough and you'll have a little sibling!
@@Indrave_2274 Yes , unlike you , I like to have reasoned arguments.
All you could manage were baseless assertions and insults.
Are you ever going to explain yourself ? I'm still waiting for you to give me any kind of reason whatsoever.
I'd be embarrassed to pretend that I had an argument I didn't want to share. It's pathetic.
He has a great philosophical mindset. He understood and admitted the real reason why he still eats animals.
U r stupid btw
What a great vegan outreach conversation 😀🌱👌🏼
Great 😊 thank you Joey 💚
I liked this guy! He was so honest and he looked kind. Thank Joey for that conversation!
I think this is the most intellectually stimulating vegan debate I’ve ever seen. WAY TO GO JOEY!!! The work you go does make activists (including myself.)
Damn right u create activists joey one of yours right here
Seems like the 1st step is making the connection. Even though we all know fundamentally that a steak or a hamburger or wings come from animals or more accurately IS/WAS AN ANIMAL, the meat industry products have become accepted in society and disconnected from the actual killing of a sentient life. We need to help everyone make the connection. 🙃
Killing someone even if nobody suffers from it can still be anti-utilitarian, because we are not taking into account the potential wellbeing the one being killed could generate for themselves and others
*This.* Utilitarianism is *soooo* inconsistent, it's unreal.
@@Mybear97 I'm not a utilitarian, but how is that inconsistent?
such a great debate! Obviously a good dude!
Why does Joey always look around when the other person is talking. It's annoying and distracting, and clearly he's not completely focused on what the other person is saying. I enjoy his work, but this is a common theme in his videos.
Animals have ZERO rights.
in actuality to the extent of you having some construct of "rights" or zero rights is the same for the non-human species.
@@rondarkman. so do you
That was an excellent conversation. Thanks, Joey. What an honest young man this other Joe appears to be! I hope he goes vegan. Once you know why it’s not hard at all ❤
A consequentialist can say that death is bad even if it doesnt cause you suffering for a number of reasons (1) deprives you of the rest of your life (2) violates preferences of a psychologically continuous being (3) rights, yeah, rights, you can easily include rights in a consequentialist framework, like Mill or Sidgwick. Once you ground them on utility, you can just appeal to the right, you dont need to always appeal to your criterion of goodness, utility, if you have justified a rule or right based decision procedure.
Yeah, I always get a bit frustrated when fellow consequentialists don’t mention the deprivation of future utility. Even if you could hypothetically unalive someone without any suffering, it’s almost always wrong, as you’re preventing them from experiencing future happiness. I think this fits pretty well with our moral intuitions, too. We would be against doing the suffering-free unaliving UNLESS the being would experience a net negative utility for the rest of their life. In practice, this means we would advocate for the Platonic ideal of mercy unalivings: no harm in the act, and the prevention of major suffering in the future. I find this very palatable.
@@meinekeman161 I completely agree
You are doing god's work my friend. You have my highest level of respect.
Not many have the capacity to change their mind and admit it publicly.
