moral clarity

I just came across this essay by George Saunders explaining a brand of moral determinism which I’ve been considering for the longest. Give it a read, and keep in mind what he says towards the end about the chickens. It’s not about excusing people for their crimes, or stripping people of their accomplishments. It’s more, I think, about realizing that nobody asked to be born in the first place… which isn’t as negative as it sounds, I swear.
Or maybe it is, I don’t know.
