Jonathan Leighton at EAGxAustralia 2023 - Unexpected Value: Prioritising the Urgency of Suffering Jonathan Leighton 2024-03-20 | In this talk recorded at EAGxAustralia in Melbourne on 23 September 2023, Jonathan Leighton, Executive Director of the Organisation for the Prevention of Intense Suffering (OPIS), discusses the relationship between happiness and suffering, including how it is understood by many rationalists and members of the Effective Altruism community. He argues for an alternative ethical framework he terms xNU+ that prioritises the inherent urgency of extreme suffering, while still explicitly acknowledging the important role of our intuitions and our desire to thrive. The talk draws on some of the key ideas in his book The Tango of Ethics: Intuition, Rationality and the Prevention of Suffering.More info:The Tango of Ethics: jonathanleighton.org/the-tango-of-ethicsOPIS: preventsuffering.org

The Authenticity of Compassionate Living Jonathan Leighton 2018-10-12 | Living authentically means aligning our lives with our values - both our own personal values and universal values - and with the truth about reality. Because our identities are less separate from one another than we often realise, the suffering of one is in some ways equivalent to the suffering of another. When we treat all sentient beings the way we would like to be treated ourselves, including not paying people to harm others, we gain greater harmony in our own existence and can truly aspire to be the change we want to see in the world.Recorded at Karamel, London on 22 September 2018 at the event "The Superpowers of a Plant-Based Yoga Practice" organised by Veganahata with support from The Vegan Society(Apologies for the mediocre sound quality)http://jonathanleighton.org

And the greatest urgency lies in the most extreme situations, the kind of intense suffering that we would never agree to experience ourselves, the kind of suffering that screams out for attention."www.jonathanleighton.org
