As a deontologist, I might argue that his paper is in fact a reductio ad absurdum against utilitarianism. From utilitarian principles, he validly demonstrates we have an equal moral obligation to people we don't even know, and no special obligation to those close to us. Therefore, utilitarianism can't account for the very real moral intuition that I have a particular obligation to my loved ones. This is a reason to reject Singer's utilitarianism, not to accept what he thinks follows from it, and start donating all my money to international causes.
Very very compact ,rich substance,, well explained philosphy.
Thanks a lot 🥀

Selfishness is the ultimate truth of human. 😂
