I am going to engage in some #ClassicsDiscourse; you will all have to forgive me.
When I saw that @AntigoneJournal was running a bit by Peter Singer, I was disappointed. When I *read* the bit by Singer I was...confused?
This? This is what you flushed your reputation for?

I will, I hope, spare you all from reading it (google will provide if you must) but for the better part of 800 words, Singer tells that he had never known about Apuleius' Metamorphoses (aka 'The Golden Ass') until quite recently. "Hey I just read this" - not a great start. 2/14
He concludes, and I am not at all kidding you, that this must be because it is *bad* - because how else would noted ::checks notes:: philosopher, animal rights advocate and eugenicist (careful, that last step is a doozy) have missed it?
Clearly, it must just be bad! 3/14
