Singer’s obviously right about the “expanding circle”—it’s a real phenomenon.

Um, this is precisely the point of disagreement,

I didn’t know that. I normally take this for granted.

Some conventional cites on the topic are: Singer and Dawkins.

  You just steelmanned Singer’s position to claiming that babies have the moral worth of radishes, and it hasn’t occurred to you that he might not be the best person to site for arguing for an expanding moral circle?
  
  Sorry, but I have to ask: Are you trolling?
