    Altruism: Beyond the Grudge

    In this follow-up to the Altruism Grudge Match, Joia is joined by Ash Ryan to go "beyond the grudge" and start problem solving an improved ethical framework. It's not enough to point out problems with Ayn Rand's egoism/altruism binary (as Joia did in the AGM), let's work to figure out a better model that integrates how as human beings we are both profoundly social and profoundly individual. Be sure to check out the Altruism Grudge Match (and Ash's thoughtful long "essay" in the Comments section) at: https://youtu.be/WmQorsTlmII Are you a philosophical liberal?

Liberalism is an ongoing project – change is built into the system 5.) Freedom to think: reason, science, enlightenment values, and the marketplace of Ideas 6.) Freedom to act: the creator-trader network 7.) The need for a government that protects individual rights 8.) The need for individuals to insist on their rights – especially now 9.) 3 ways to stand up and speak out (stop the bad, keep the good, build the better) 10.)
