Thank you to Aaron Rabinowitz for joining today. Make sure to go check out Aaron's podcast here:    

Today we welcome Aaron Rabinowitz and Callie Wright. Aaron is a lecturer in philosophy at Rutgers University. He hosts the Embrace The Void and Philosophers in Space podcast. He specializes in ethics, metaethics, and problems surrounding AI and personhood. He earned his M.A. in Philosophy from Colorado State University.Callie is a freelance audio producer and the host of the Queersplaining podcast. They are non-binary trans person.In this episode, I talk to Aaron and Callie about gender and trans issues. When it comes to transgendered folk, we tend to focus on extreme examples that are far removed from reality. Some people think being transgender is a social contagion, while others reject the reality of gender altogether. Callie shares how transitioning has allowed them to become their most authentic self. Aaron sheds light on the issues of consent, autonomy, identity, and medical ethics. Both Callie and Aaron recognize that specific topics can negatively skew public opinion, which is why addressing misconceptions and highlighting the lived experiences of trans men, women, and non-binary individuals are crucial to the conversation.Website: voidpod.com & queersplaining.comTwitter: @ETVPod & @calliegetsit Topics03:15 Introducing Callie05:14 Introducing Aaron08:27 Callie coming out as trans17:06 Ideology over science 23:32 Transphobia is real25:28 Social contagion and moral panic33:29 Pushing the anti-trans agenda 35:56 “Have a trans child or a dead child”41:13 Extreme trans activists47:13 The gender critical movement44:47 The world operates on gender, not sex51:29 What does it feel like to be a trans woman?55:50 Subjectivity of gender and identity1:02:06 Why we gatekeep identities1:06:30 Trans people in sports1:23:58 Sex and gender differences1:32:47 Gender-affirming care1:39:44 Puberty blockers and transitioning 1:42:38 Medical ethics and barriers to access1:49:21 Parental consent vs child autonomy1:52:17 There is harm in waiting and seeing2:07:55 Irreversible changes in puberty2:11:43 Teaching gender in school2:15:26 Wokeness is misappropriated2:17:42 Final thoughts

In Digging up Ancient Aliens, our host Fredrik uses his background in archaeology to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between on the TV show Ancient Aliens. This time we will go to some new territories and explore the Founding Fathers, aliens and philosophy. To make sense of all this, we have Aaron Rabinowitz, a philosopher, and lecturer at Rutgers University. He writes a column in The Skeptic and hosts Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space podcasts. We're discussing the Plurality of worlds theory, exploring the conspiracies in Washington DC, and how to meet people believing in these strange claims. It's an exciting and thoughtful journey through history and philosophy.This episode is based on the claims in Ancient Aliens episode eleven of season three called "Aliens and The Founding Fathers" (S03E11). Remember that you find a full bibliography and valuable resources at diggingupancientaliens.com. Since we left a few things out in this discussion, you'll find a short article about them on the episode page!In this episode:1952 Washington, D.C., UFO incidentThe Plurality of WorldsWashingtons VisionGreen-skinned Native AmericansDunbar UFOFounding fathers as FreemasonsFreemasonry symbols in Washington D.C.Defying Washington The Apotheosis of Washington------------------Links to Aarons's projects:voidpod.com/0gphilosophy.libsyn.com/skeptic.org.uk/author/aaronrabinowitz/twitter.com/ETVPodAnd a big thank you to Cait over at Drunk Mythology Gals for lending her voice for the into.------------------Music“Folie hatt” by Trallskruv Lily of the woods by Sandra Marteleur

Today we're joined by Aaron Rabinowitz, lecturing philosopher at Rutgers, as well as host of the Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space podcast. He's going to be talking to us today about the concepts of freewill vs determinism. Are humans on inescapable loops? Are we truly free to make our own decisions? If not, do our choices matter in any meaningful way? How do these philosophies impact social policies, economics, criminal justice, and more? And how does this connect to the themes of Westworld?

Jesse and Brittany welcome Aaron Rabinowitz, a lecturer in philosophy at Rutgers University, and the host of the Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space podcasts.

Jesse and Brittany, together with Aaron, grapple with their... The post #801 – “Aaron Rabinowitz from Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space Podcasts.”  appeared first on I Doubt It Podcast.

Watch out, bavuse out of 150+ episodes this one is Sturlas #1 favourite! Aaron Rabinowitz is a philosophy professor at Rutgers, a podcaster (Embrace the Void/Philosophers in Space) and a personal friend of - according to Sturla - the funniest guy in the world, Chris Kavanaugh from Decoding the Gurus. Apart from discussing Chris and his twisted mind they get into the weeds of the moral luck-debate and through Aarons unique perspective look at the Culture War online through this prism. Aaron is maybe also the most eloquent philosopher in the Galaxy Brain-o-sphere, maybe a combination of Schopenhauer and Martin Luther King? With a dash of Rick and Morty! Enjoy:)

There's possibly a new brand of centrist-IDW-know-it-all online, and it's called a "sensemaker." Or, is it a totally normal good thing? I don't know. So I brought in way-too-online-person Aaron Rabinowitz to explain just wtf is going on here. We ended up having a wide ranging discussion on the centristy-IDW manosphere and what makes it tick. And why Elon Musk blows.

In one of the most important developments in the dynamic between big tech, free speech and media in many years, Elon Musk is buying Twitter for $44bn. Much of the commentary online has devolved into the predictable political shouting matches, and there has been very little engagement with the key questions that this brings up about the nature of moderation, of how to create healthy dialogue and what problems Elon will have to wrestle with in taking Twitter forward. Jim Rutt is the former head of the Santa Fe Institute, and has been involved with online communities since the birth of the internet. He believes that Elon has not fully wrestled with the problem of moderation that he will be taking on with Twitter, a view he explained in his new piece for Quillette, 'Musk & Moderation': https://quillette.com/2022/04/27/musk-and-moderation/  This is a sometimes robust debate and disagreement with Aaron Rabinowitz, a moral philosopher and host of the Embrace the Void podcast. Aaron has spent time wrestling with these same issues, in particular in a famous experiment he ran during the Trump election of 2016 when he created a completely unmoderated discussion group, called Monster island: https://www.skeptic.org.uk/2020/10/monster-island-free-speech-experiment/  Check out Jim's podcast, the Jim Rutt Show: https://www.jimruttshow.com/  And Aaron's podcast Embrace the Void: https://voidpod.com/podcasts 

In this episode, we talk with Aaron Rabinowitz of Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space about the paradoxes of moral luck, the problematic nature of our everyday notions of responsibility, and what good pedagogy looks like when you've agreed – as you must – that spontaneous, volitional free will is merely an illusion. We do some Kantian maneuvering, form provisional alliances, and all things considered have as good a time as is possible given our total lack of freedom.References:Thomas Nagel, “Moral Luck” Music: Vintage Memories by Schematist | schematist.bandcamp.com

Aaron Rabinowitz identifies as an atheist, skeptic, and philosopher. He's also a faithful trans ally, and considers the adjective “religious” an insult. Acutely aware of his cisheteronormative privilege, he willingly sacrifices himself on the altar of Heterodorx because “my humanity is not being questioned in this particular debate.” The resultant conversation is even more fascinating than it is long (1:46, our longest yet!). Listen closely and you just might have a religious experience.

Without a God to author morality, does this leave atheists adrift? What is morality, are there absolute moral truths, and how can we know about them? To examine these questions, we are joined by Aaron Rabinowitz, a PhD student in the Rutgers Graduate School of Education, and the host of two podcasts, Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space. Aaron explains why the absence of a God actually allows for the creation of objective moral systems, something that should correct biases against atheists. He also tells us about whether a true atheist can be immoral or wish that God existed.In the bonus content, available exclusively to supporters on Patreon, we talk with Aaron about the infamous “enlightening round” on his podcast Embrace the Void, where he asks guests whether things like God, races, sandwiches, and fictional characters are “real.”Follow Aaron on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ETVPodCheck out Aaron's workshop, “Morality Without God,” running for three weeks in January: ​​https://evergreen.humanitru.com/web/campaigns/the-innerwork-center~winter-spring-2022?attend=id%3A4465&sharer_id=3509&medium=¬es=Listing+Card&remote_id=RSgyEmbrace the Void podcast: https://voidpod.com/podcasts/Philosophers in Space podcast: https://0gphilosophy.libsyn.com/Check out Nathan's appearance on Embrace the Void: https://voidpod.com/podcasts/2021/7/15/ev-201-defining-racism-with-nathan-alexanderFollow Nathan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NathGAlexanderNathan's website: https://www.nathangalexander.com/If you find the podcast valuable and want to support it, check out our Patreon page, where you will also find bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/beyond_atheism We are grateful for every contribution.

Episode Notes What's the source of conspiratorial thinking? How do we weed out misinformation? Are people naturally dumb? Is the problem scientific literacy or something else?

Ethics are a funny thing. If you asked most people on the street what they believe about what's right or wrong, they probably wouldn't be able to give you a very robust explanation. That's because we don't often spend a whole lot of time thinking about the valance of moral decisions, for most of us it just comes down to our culture and what we feel is the best thing at any given moment. But claims about how we should behave, or about how we know how we should behave, have incredibly broad implications in not just our everyday lives but our world as a whole, so it's well worth our time to think critically about them every now and again. On today's episode we do just that! I have the pleasure of being joined by Dr. Aaron Rabinowitz, professor of philosophy at Rutgers University and host of the Embrace the Void Podcast. Aaron and I discuss the how's and the whys of what it means to be good in a world without God, or anything else supernatural, and the different ways that different people can come to very similar ideas about ethical principles, even if we start from different places. www.reasoningaloud.org/arronrabinowitz

I thought this might be helpful for folks who want to hear a less sensationalist approach to CRT in education.Convocation: Aaron' overeducated mindEditing by Lu Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals! http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/podcast.htmlMusic by GW RodriguezSibling Pod Philosophers in Space: https://0gphilosophy.libsyn.com/Support us at Patreon.com/EmbraceTheVoidIf you enjoy the show, please Like and Review us on your pod app, especially iTunes.

Aaron is a lecturer in the Rutgers philosophy department (@ETVpod). Emerson is the host of Counter Apologetics and Walden Pod (@waldenpod). Aaron's podcast, Embrace the Void https://voidpod.com/ This debate took place on the Right to Reason podcast https://therighttoreason.podbean.com/e/panpsychism-debate/ https://linktr.ee/emersongreen

with special guest Aaron Rabinowitz! You know him from Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space, but today he's here to philosophize at us. A paper on pointlessness was published in the first issue of the Journal of Controversial ideas. How good is it? How controversial? Find out!

Robert Stanley comes back! We talked about his thoughts behind starting a podcast and how he's still motivated to do it. We discussed some of his episodes like the debate on systemic racism, a debate on evolution, the problem of evil, and the atheist who turned Muslim. We also had a short “spirited” debate on left versus right wing violence due to protests. I still don't know if I could do a debate, and whether I'd get anything out of it. There's a little bit on platforming and forgive me for the odd during the day recording and the no beer.   Robert links:   https://www.therighttoreason.com/podcasts-1 https://twitter.com/righttoreason1   25 dead people due to “BLM” protests   https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/31/americans-killed-protests-political-unrest-acled   Just in case you forgot about David Silverman:  https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/david-silverman-atheist-fired-sexual-misconduct   I'll admit that I haven't watched this debate, just nibbled at the corners like a major league pitcher. I struggle with debates. I find that people are trying to win instead of actually having good points and trying to discuss the diverging sides. So yeah, CRT debate and it involved my buddy Aaron Rabinowitz so check it out if you dare   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBumyFsVfP4

What does it mean to have luck? Good luck, or bad? Is luck something that only happens selectively, or is our entire existence a kind of luck that we've had zero control over? And if that's true - what does it mean for our society? What does it say about our educational system, our criminal justice system, and how we treat and empathize with each other? What does it mean for our world if all of us are exactly where we are due only to pure chance? Aaron Rabinowitz, host of the Embrace the Void podcast, grapples with the philosophical and moral implications of that hypothesis.Moral Luck, by Thomas NagelStanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Moral LuckEmbrace the Void - 186 Starmanning with Angel Eduardo Pt. 1Embrace the Void - 183 Moderate Conservatism with Stephen Dause21: Securing Rights, with Samuel Weiss - The New LiberalsThe Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good? by Michael SandelEmbrace the Void - 044 Moral LuckEthical Realism in a Universe Without Free Will, featuring Aaron Rabinowitz - Skeptics in the Pub7: Canceling Categories, with Angel Eduardo - The New LiberalsEvery Rubin Report Ever - FreedomToons36 Arguments for the Existence of God, by Rebecca Newberger GoldsteinPhilosophers in Space@ETVPod----------Email: newliberalspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @NewLiberalsPod

An interview with Aaron Rabinowitz, a PTL in the Rutgers Philosophy department and PhD student in Rutgers Graduate School of Education. He specializes in moral education and applied ethics. I know him as a podcaster and host of the fascinating Embrace the Void podcast and co-host of the super fun Philosophers in Space podcast, where he works to make philosophy accessible through science fiction and lively discussion.

"You Might Have a Point" is a podcast that features interviews with guests who specialize in one or more of a broad range of subjects, including philosophy, psychology, politics, public policy, journalism, and culture. In this episode, Stephen Dause interviews Aaron Rabinowitz, a philosophy instructor, education PhD student, and the host of not one, but two podcasts. Aaron reflects on how he's feeling after the storming of the Capitol, the concept of equity vs. fairness, and systemic racism, among other things. They discuss how it can be difficult to agree on terms and the use of language as a power play. They even discuss whether 2 + 2 = 4.

For a company rushing to bring a breakthrough product to a red-hot marketplace, the goal may be a speedy patent prosecution at the United States patent office – but for a “stealth mode” company, the goal may be a slower and quieter process that gives the company time to refine its own products and to evaluate its competitors. No matter your business's ultimate objective, your business has an interest in how quickly or slowly things progress at the patent office – and in this podcast, BakerHostetler partner Aaron Rabinowitz discusses when to speed up or slow down patent prosecution and the many options that companies have to control the speed of their patent matters in the United States patent office and around the world.

My brother from another pod-mother Aaron Rabinowitz is on to discuss the fantastic article he wrote for The Skeptic! The article is about his experience in the Facebook group Monster Island, which was a no-holds-barred debate group that some of you may have been involved with. If you weren't, Aaron will detail what happened, including a pretty scary twist (or predictable?) ending. Before that, we talk about James Lindsay going full Trump supporter. 

Aaron Rabinowitz, host of the Embrace the Void Podcast, joins James to talk about the AI algorithms which are ruining our lives! How does YouTube decide what videos we should watch next? How does Facebook determine what posts should invade our eyeballs? And do these algorithms help or hurt us? Find the answers to these questions – and hear Aaron’s 'tight five' on why Blade Runner is a bad film – in Episode 24 of Ethics and Chill!

It’s nice to catch up after 2.5 years. Is the Embrace the Void host still feeling voidy? Very much so. We talked about his “new” podcast Philosophers in Space and talked about his episode 150 of EtV talking about the odd connection between skeptics and the Sovereign Nation right-wing Christian organization.  Aaron links: https://voidpod.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/philosophers-in-space/id1348915993 https://voidpod.com/podcasts/2020/7/9/ev-150-sovereign-nations-and-the-grievance-hoaxers Ed Brayton passes on: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/dispatches/2020/08/10/saying-goodbye-for-the-last-time/ Support me on Patreon:  http://www.patreon.com/zachrilege Itunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zachrilege-cast/id996785602?mt=2 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/zachrilege

Today I'm joined by philosopher Aaron Rabinowitz of Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space to discuss the some revelations about James Lindsay's organization "New Discourses." If you're a long time listener, you'll remember James Lindsay from this show back when he didn't totally suck. Well he now very much sucks, and to no one's surprise, he's being propped up by right wing Christian Nationalist Michael O'Fallon. PZ Myers has a good writeup of it on his blog. Aaron and I talk about that, our history with James, and what to make of all this.

I’m joined by Aaron Rabinowitz of Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space to discuss his view of consciousness and its place in nature. And to avenge all those who have suffered under his ETV Lightning Rounds, he’s also subjected to his own Realist / Antirealist Lightning Round. Our first discussion on The Right to Reason Podcast: https://therighttoreason.podbean.com/e/panpsychism-debate/ You can listen to Aaron on Embrace the Void here (https://voidpod.com/podcasts) and Philosophers in Space here (https://0gphilosophy.libsyn.com/) I didn’t do justice to Hunter Ash’s argument for panpsychism we mentioned early on, so here’s a brief explanation of the argument from the SEP (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/panpsychism/) : “More recently, Goff (2013) has argued that consciousness is not vague, and that this leads to a sorites-style argument for panpsychism. Very roughly if consciousness does not admit of borderline cases, then we will have to suppose that some utterly precise micro-level change—down to an exact arrangement of particles—marked the first appearance of consciousness (or the change from non-conscious to conscious embryo/foetus), and it is going to seem arbitrary that it was that utterly precise change that was responsible for this significant change in nature.” And here’s Aaron’s conversation with Hunter (https://podbay.fm/podcast/1213974770/e/1565959253) Follow Aaron on Twitter @ETVpod and Emerson @waldenpod Listen to ichika Nito here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt0pxG5dn8U) Rate the show on iTunes here (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/walden-pod/id1474408172) Support on Patreon here (https://www.patreon.com/waldenpod) Listen to our sister show Counter Apologetics here (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/counter-apologetics/id1273573417?mt=2) Subscribe to CA and Walden Pod on YouTube here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqBy2TfJbYXjqBL3cQOFUig) Contact me at emersongreen@protonmail.com or on Facebook (http://facebook.com/counterapologeticspodcast)

We answer one of the more common challenges issued to panpsychists: some variation of “Show me the evidence.” We discuss whether panpsychism can be tested, our theory of mind module, emergence, Descartes's conception of matter, Occam’s Razor, and the fact that consciousness is always inferred, never observed. “We can but infer sentience rather than verify it, and people will differ in their guessed inferences: some might stop sentience at the lobster limit, others might stop at the beetle border – but why stop at all? If one demands a stop, the determining criterion must be established.” - Peter Sjöstedt-H (https://highexistence.com/panpsychism-3-reasons-why-our-world-brimming-sentience/) “How do the combined material objects that make up a human body change from a state of being non-conscious to a state of being conscious? There are three possible answers: i) They don’t. Human beings are not conscious. ii) A miracle happens. A conscious state ‘emerges’ from non-conscious matter. iii) They don’t. Consciousness already exists within the matter our brains are made from.” - Tim Bollands (https://twitter.com/ATBollands/status/1163828655778410502) Can Panpsychism be tested? - Philip Goff (https://conscienceandconsciousness.com/2019/07/26/can-panpsychism-be-tested-and-does-it-matter/) [Conscience and Consciousness] Emerson Green and Aaron Rabinowitz debate panpsychism on The Right to Reason podcast: https://player.fm/series/the-right-to-reason-2362355/panpsychism-debate New music used with permission from ichika nito (https://nitomusic.bigcartel.com/product/ichika-guitar-loop-pack-1) ichika Nito’s YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zklF31kD1eI) Transcripts available at emersongreenblog.wordpress.com (https://emersongreenblog.wordpress.com/) Rate the show on iTunes here (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/walden-pod/id1474408172) Support on Patreon here (https://www.patreon.com/waldenpod) or if you prefer to give a one-time donation, you can do so with Venmo (@emersongreenpodcast) Listen to our sister show Counter Apologetics here (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/counter-apologetics/id1273573417?mt=2) Subscribe to CA and Walden Pod on YouTube here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqBy2TfJbYXjqBL3cQOFUig) Contact me at emersongreen@protonmail.com or on Facebook (http://facebook.com/counterapologeticspodcast)

He specializes in ethics, metaethics, and AI. His work focuses on developing a secular moral realism that is compatible with the problem of moral luck. He also hosts two philosophy podcasts: Philosophers in Space and Embrace the Void. The goal of both shows is to make philosophy accessible for everyone, using science fiction and existential horror. In this episode, we discuss metaethics, and moral realism. We first go through the definitions of moral realism and objective morality. Then we get into several different issues, like our conflicting moral intuitions, moral foundations, and the limitations of our evolved morality. We also talk about moral nihilism, and moral relativism. We discuss the differences between knowledge produced by science and moral truths (and value judgments). In the latter part of the conversation, we discuss to what extent moral axioms also apply to people's decisions about their own wellbeing; the fact that we don't have direct access to other people's minds and its moral implications, when it comes to paternalism; and also to what extent we should care about how we treat other animals and, in the future, advanced AI systems. -- Follow Aaron's work: Philosophers in Space (Spotify): https://spoti.fi/2N8zmDA Embrace the Void: http://bit.ly/35YAdQ4 Philosophers in Space (facebook group): http://bit.ly/32DBie1 Philosophers in Space (Twitter handle): @0gPhilosophy Embrace the Void (Twitter handle): @ETVPod -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORDE, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, BO WINEGARD, VEGA GIDEY, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, DAVID DIAS, ANJAN KATTA, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, AND JOHN CONNORS!

In this opening episode, host Sara Beth Berman tells her story and speaks with Dr. Alan Mittleman, Aaron Rabinowitz and Simon H. Rifkind Professor of Jewish Philosophy at JTS. Prof. Mittleman shares his own experiences with loss, framing tragedies as taking place in a world that is nevertheless good and that gives us reason for hope. We also learn why giving Professor Mittleman advice is never a good idea.

Welcome to this episode of The Podunk Polymath Podcast! This episode was cursed because the first time there was an internet outage; the second time there was a scheduling conflict:and the third time Hangouts wouldn't work. I finally had to record as a podcast, but even that required a lot of time and energy to sync. But the gospel of Aaron Rabinowitz and the Void shall not be silenced! Of course, Aaron co-hosts both Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space, and he is also a professor, so he was the perfect person to talk to about Ethics and its real world implications, as well as why I should give a fuck. He did a good job learning me on the subject, and I am now motivated to do a little more reading. I hope y'all learn something to! Music by Dot Dot Dash, cdbaby.com/cd/dotdotdash

Join Cass & Marie as we talk with Aaron and GW of the podcast Embrace the Void. Things get pretty philosophical as we discuss the notion of the "self" and the "other", cultural immersion, animal friendships with each other, and the overwhelming demand of global human needs. We wrap up by talking about how to create your own morality absent the one you were taught from a "sacred" book.  https://voidpod.com/podcasts www.patreon.com/EmbraceTheVoid Philosophers in Space Facebook Group We taped this conversation on February 2nd, 2019. Thanks for listening and Be a Yes-Sayer to what is.We interview people you don’t know, about a subject no one wants to talk about. We hope to encourage people in the process of deconstructing their faith and help curb the loneliness that accompanies it. We think the world is a better place when more people live by sight, not by faith. Please subscribe to our podcast, and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

MORAL LUCK A Conversation With ETV's Aaron Rabinowitz by Toby Buckle

My guest for today is Aaron Rabinowitz, co-host of the new podcast Embrace the Void. Here’s what the official description of the show says: “Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.” So today we’re going to talk about philosophy, religion, and what it means to embrace the Void.Links:•Embrace the Void: https://voidpod.com •ETV on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EmbraceTheVoidPod/ •ETV on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ETVPod •Ashton P.

Alan Mittleman, the Aaron Rabinowitz and Simon H. Rifkind Professor of Jewish Philosophy at The Jewish Theological Seminary, argues for an affirmation of a philosophically articulated Judaism, which nevertheless respects the particularity and thickness of Jewish tradition. He is author of "Human Nature & Jewish Thought: Judaism's Case for Why Persons Matter."
