Twitter/X Space 9 August 2025In this episode, I explore the intersection of personal growth and atheism, examining how non-believers navigate moral frameworks and the balance between immediate pleasures and long-term commitments. Sharing personal anecdotes, I discuss the impact of childhood experiences on adult choices and the complexities of altruism without religious context. The conversation also challenges traditional gender roles in relationships, inviting listener perspectives on partnership dynamics. Ultimately, I encourage introspection about our beliefs and the societal narratives shaping them, highlighting the importance of reason in our understanding of truth and personal fulfillment.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

In which we find ourselves thinking, "if I only knew then, what I know now!" On the curse of Sir Walter Raleigh and other things about which we know better. How to learn from other folks' mistakes! More on altruism, as Amy contemplates writing a book on Objectivism & Virtues for a general audience. Also, cigarette smoking in hospitals and on airplanes (and anywhere else), telephones without screens, payphones and dimes, and The Yellow Pages. Also, how to think about events when everyone is right (in their own epistemological & ethical context of knowledge) but disagree completely with one another. Which happens a lot more than you might think.

This week on Death Clock, Brent speaks with journalist and author Nicole Karlis about the connection between altruism and longevity. Nicole, author of Your Brain on Altruism, shares research-backed insights into how acts of kindness, generosity, and volunteering can positively impact both mental and physical health. They discuss how altruism isn't just about helping others – it also fosters a sense of purpose, strengthens community ties, and can even contribute to a longer, healthier life. Brent and Nicole explore the science behind these benefits, including studies showing that people who regularly give back experience lower stress levels, improved well-being, and even reduced risk of chronic diseases. Whether you're looking for a new perspective on well-being or simply interested in the science of giving, this episode offers compelling reasons to integrate more acts of kindness into daily life. Hope you enjoy.

Ben Bayer joins Five Minutes with Robert & Amy Nasir LIVE, to discuss his 2025 OCON talk, "America Should Declare Independence from Altruism". We'll ask Dr. Bayer about the State Of The (Moral/Philosophical) Union, how the response to the 2000 pandemic made starkly clear the common moral framework of both America's "left" and "right", why, in Ben's words, "as the right becomes so similar to the left, it is so hostile" to it.  We'll also discuss the decline of "Effective Altruism" and "Longtermism", and why Ayn Rand's morality of self-interest is essential in resolving these failures, injustices, and contradictions. 

This episode discusses how some force positivity, to search for good in bad every time. Digresses to how altruism operates.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e-3oeMO-0w&t=4s Podcast audio: Ayn Rand viewed the American founding's enshrinement of individuals rights as the greatest political achievement in human history. Yet the rising statism of the twentieth century dramatically undermined those ideals. In Rand's view, America needed a moral revolution: one that renounced the ethics of altruism and embraced the morality of self-interest. What would it take to achieve such a transformation? On Independence Day at the 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference, ARI fellow Ben Bayer took up this question in his provocative talk, “America Should Declare Independence from Altruism.” Bayer argues that it is not enough just to affirm the morality of self-interest in words. Most people — even those who claim to support liberty — remain psychologically dependent on the morality of self-sacrifice and so are unwilling to defend freedom on principle. To illustrate this dependency, Bayer offers an in-depth case study of the COVID lockdowns. He reminds us that these policies were imposed not just by Democrats but also by Republicans, the alleged defenders of American freedom. Republican leaders were cowed by moral pressure to impose shutdowns but have now worked hard to memory-hole their involvement. Bayer argues that Republicans' evasion of their own commitment to altruism dramatized underappreciated insights from Ayn Rand's views on the psychology of altruism.  One of Bayer's most thought-provoking points is that the common pejorative use of the term “virtue signaling” reveals a lingering psychological dependence on altruism: critics mock those who merely signal “virtue” because they are unwilling to challenge the content of the signalers' moral beliefs directly. In the Q&A period, Bayer addresses such topics as: How altruism shaped America's post-9/11 foreign policy; Whether sweeping lockdowns can ever be justified; The enduring relevance of Rand's idea of the sanction of the victim; The problems with the concept of “woke.”

That's not always in our ability, but we can choose happiness for others, and we can choose kindness.

What if doing the most good was simpler—and more within reach—than you ever imagined? In this powerful episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is joined by world-renowned moral philosopher Peter Singer for a conversation that will challenge how you think about ethics, generosity, and your role in making the world better. Peter, best known for his groundbreaking work “The Life You Can Save,” shares thought-provoking insights on effective altruism, the moral obligations of those living in affluence, and how small, intentional actions can create ripple effects of real change. From fighting global poverty to advocating for animal rights, Peter's work has inspired millions to rethink their impact—and today, he might just do the same for you.

He is Emeritus Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University and author of Animal Liberation and the influential essay “Famine, Affluence, and Morality.” Singer has shifted from preference to hedonistic utilitarianism over his career. He founded Monash University's Centre for Human Bioethics, co-founded Animals Australia, and established the nonprofit The Life You Can Save. Recognized as Australian Humanist of the Year in 2004, he is considered one of Australia's most influential public intellectuals.

Full episode up on Patreon n this episode, philosophy professor and AI safety researcher Vincent Lê joins us to explore the strange philosophical roots of Effective Altruism, the Z1zians, and Silicon Valley's culture at large. Rather than rehashing the usual narratives around EA, E/Acc, and AI alignment, we dig into their shared intellectual DNA—from the cringeworthy utilitarianism of Peter Singer to the mimetic theories of René Girard, and even The Office as an unlikely ideological text.We also touch on the Westall UFO sighting and its eerie relevance, Franco "Bifo" Berardi's reflections on cognitive capitalism and collapse, the “infobrain,” the cult of rationalism, and the surreal logic of AI-driven extremism as LLM's talk like a therapist. Plus: exit strategies, neocameralist fantasy worlds, and the political theology behind technocratic acceleration.Subscribe to Vincent's blog here

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist, Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. It focuses on his discussion in the third part of the work "Christian Morality and Ressentment" of the connections Scheler sees between the modern conception of "altruism" and the dynamic of ressentiment, which he thinks is involved in modern "altruism". Both altruism and egoism as opposites are often used by modern thinkers as a conceptual framework that Christian love does not neatly fit into, and the reduction of Christian love to "altruism", Scheler thinks, is a mistake.

Why is American culture so fascinated with psychopathic people and true crime stories? Why don't billionaires give more? What makes some people so generous that they'd undergo surgery to donate an organ to a complete stranger? These are the kinds of questions that Abigail Marsh, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Georgetown University, studies. Chris and Abigail discuss the brain differences between extreme altruists and psychopathic individuals, why psychopathic traits do not necessarily correlate with aggression, how parents can support children with behavioral issues, and what we can all do to train ourselves to be more altruistic.FollowHost: Chris Duffy (Instagram: @chrisiduffy | chrisduffycomedy.com)Guest: Abigail Marsh PhD (LinkedIn: @abigail-marsh) Linksabigailmarsh.com/disordersofaggression.orgBookshop.org: The Fear FactorTED Talk: Why some people are more altruistic than othersSubscribe to TED Instagram: @tedYouTube: @TEDTikTok: @tedtoksLinkedIn: @ted-conferencesWebsite: ted.comPodcasts: ted.com/podcastsFor the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscriptsWant to help shape TED's shows going forward?

What does it mean to truly live Jewishly? Join us, as we explore the profound, often misunderstood motivations behind the practice of mitzvahs in Judaism. Consider Shabbos: it's not just a day of rest commanded by Hashem, but also a precious opportunity for family bonding and digital detox that can transform our spiritual experience. We discuss how mitzvahs should be performed not merely out of emotion, but with a deep intellectual understanding of their divine purpose, ensuring that our observance remains steadfast and sincere.Have you ever wondered about the significance of wearing Tzitzit or the reasoning behind gender separation in congregations? We recount compelling stories like how tzitzit once saved a man's life, illustrating that while these tales enrich our connection, the ultimate motivation lies in fulfilling God's command. The discussion also highlights the importance of community wisdom over personal intuition, emphasizing that gender separation is not about inequality but rather about nurturing spiritual focus and preventing misconduct, supported by both Talmudic references and contemporary practices.Embrace your curiosity and let it fuel your faith! We celebrate the revered tradition of questioning within Judaism, illuminating how inquiry propels us towards deeper understanding and connection with our religious practices. In a world where questioning authority is often frowned upon, Judaism stands apart, inviting its followers to seek clarity and wisdom through thoughtful questioning. This episode encourages you to dive into your faith with open eyes and an inquisitive mind, empowering you to connect with your spirituality on a profoundly personal level._____________Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studio (B) to a live audience on April 27, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 11, 2025_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

You might know Edwin McCain as the voice behind timeless hits like 'I'll Be' and 'I Could Not Ask for More,' but beyond the music, he's got a deeply personal story that embodies recovery, resilience, and transformation.  For those of you who've been listening to The Way Out from the start, you'll recognize this as the original format of the show, where I would deliver the introduction to the interview that followed. We're going old school on this one with Edwin because once our chat got started, there was no stopping for nothin. In this conversation, Edwin opens up about his journey to and through Recovery to this point—the highs, the struggles, and the lessons that have shaped him not just as an artist, but as a human being.

This strikes at the very core of mine and so many that I've come to knows experience. Boredom and idle time was untenable and it felt impossible not to react to most everything.Paradoxically, when I'm spiritually centered, Nothing is too hard in Recovery or life.

Nicole Karlis, author of Your Brain on Altruism, discusses the neuroscience behind altruism, revealing how acts of kindness impact teen brains, mental health, resilience, and lasting happiness.Full Show NotesAs parents, we hope our teenagers grow up to be kind, caring, and community-oriented adults. We encourage them to volunteer, assist neighbors, or participate in community service projects, hoping it'll build character and strengthen empathy. But did you know there's actual science linking altruism to improved well-being, reduced stress, and even better health? What if building compassion wasn't just a nice extra—but a powerful tool for coping with stress, fostering mental health, and developing meaningful relationships?Many teens face abundant pressures: academic expectations, college applications, social anxieties, and now the unprecedented rise of loneliness and technology overload. With these challenges mounting, could altruism offer a unique and surprisingly effective antidote—not just helping teens survive but thrive in today's world?In this week's insightful conversation, we're joined by Nicole Karlis, health and science journalist and author of Your Brain on Altruism: The Power of Connection and Community During Times of Crisis. Nicole spent nearly a decade exploring the science behind altruism, kindness, and community connection. She specializes in translating compelling neuroscience into practical lessons we can apply right at home with our teens.Nicole reveals the neuroscience underpinning the benefits of altruism, describing how selfless actions activate brain regions responsible for stress relief, emotional regulation, and meaningful fulfillment. By cultivating altruistic behaviors, Nicole argues, teens can overcome feelings of isolation and connect meaningfully with their communities—even during a loneliness epidemic.In our conversation, Nicole sheds light on why altruism is so powerful and how parents can harness and revive this instinct in their teens to create their own "culture of caring."The Neuroscience of AltruismIt turns out our brains are wired to benefit from kindness. Nicole outlines research showing that acts of generosity, kindness, and compassion trigger neural pathways linked to reward and decreased stress. Teens who practice altruism report feeling more deeply connected to others and their community, experiencing higher executive functioning, and enjoying mental health benefits.Creating regular acts of kindness, Nicole explains, can physically change the structure of teen brains due to neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize and strengthen beneficial pathways. Over time, practicing altruism can become habitual—ultimately shaping teens into compassionate adults who experience less stress and improved overall health.This powerful link raises the important question: how can parents best encourage altruism, especially today when teens are so busy and pressure-laden?Cultivating Kindness Without CrisisEver notice how, after a crisis, communities come together in uniquely powerful ways? Nicole describes this phenomenon—called bounded solidarity—in regions recovering from natural disasters where neighbors join forces to help one another through difficult times. But eventually the solidarity fades. Nicole wondered if communities could maintain this spirit without needing a tragic catalyst.In the episode, Nicole shares inspiring stories from teens who joined together after devastating wildfires. Remarkably, their initial impulse turned into a long-term community service nonprofit that raised spirits and built lasting bonds for everyone involved. She reveals that challenges and crises aren't necessary prerequisites. Families and communities can foster sustained altruism—cultivating solidarity simply through commitment and deliberate intention.Nicole offers practical methods families can use to cultivate caring cultures, from volunteering vacations to meaningful weekend rituals. She explains why clustering multiple kindness actions on special days—rather than making kindness a daily chore—helps compassion become a joyful, healthy habit.Why Intent Matters MostTeenagers often feel pressure to volunteer to pad college applications—checking off boxes without truly feeling connected to their service activities. But Nicole emphasizes the critical role intention plays: altruism is dramatically more beneficial if teens authentically embrace their volunteering choices.When teens genuinely want to make a difference, altruism deepens their empathy, nurtures authentic relationships, and provides real mental health benefits. Finding activities that align with your teen's natural interests enables them to genuinely experience joy and authentic connection while doing good. Nicole highlights examples, from playing bingo at senior homes to fun volunteer projects during family trips, that deeply resonate with teenagers and leave lifelong positive impacts.In the Episode…Nicole shares eye-opening insights about kindness, altruism, and their remarkable effects on teenagers. On top of the above, we discuss:How kindness helps teens counter lonelinessTechniques for fostering kindness in kids and teensDecoding the bodily impacts of isolation and lonelinessThe power of awe when witnessing acts of altruismHow volunteering boosts teens' confidence, connections, and resumesThis meaningful conversation with Nicole Karlis will forever shift how you view compassion—revealing how cultivating altruism in teenagers profoundly strengthens their brains, supports emotional resilience, and helps them thrive throughout adolescence and beyond.If you enjoyed this episode, you can find more from Nicole at Salon.com or connect with her on Instagram @NicoleKarlis.

Join me for an inspiring conversation with my soul sister and fellow Brazilian, Janete Teixeira Parente, as she shares her incredible journey from a small town in South Brazil to becoming a successful business owner in New Jersey. What began as a one-year language-learning trip turned into a permanent move to the U.S., thanks to a series of unexpected opportunities. Listen in as Janete recounts her path from working on a farm as a teenager to meeting a supportive family of doctors who offered her a job, leading her to shift her career focus and eventually establish her own business. Her entrepreneurial spirit shines through, and her story, detailed in her memoir, is one I believe deserves to be a movie. We also explore Janete's childhood, growing up in a small farm town in a family of 11, and facing hardships like poverty and an alcoholic father. Despite these challenges, her father's emphasis on education and doing good serves as a lasting beacon of inspiration. We reflect on the powerful lessons learned from him, as well as Janete's personal growth and empowerment as a woman. Through her story, she exemplifies resilience, independence, and the importance of sharing wisdom and courage with others. Janete also invites you to connect with her on Instagram and visit her website for more insights into her journey.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, I chat with Jeremy Garlick, Director of the Jan Masaryk Centre for International Studies, Prague University, and a scholar of China's international relations. Jeremy is the author of the book Advantage China: Agent of Change in an Era of Global Disruption, but the book we're talking about this week is his new Cambridge Element titled Evolution in International Relations. It's a fascinating attempt to apply ideas from evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, and archaeogenetics to further our understanding of how nations interact.6:13 – Why Jeremy decided to apply an evolutionary framework to IR 15:34 – Why evolutionary science hasn't really been integrated into IR19:32 – How Jeremy views his project as refining the IR field 22:43 – The risk of the misappropriation of Jeremy's work, and the evolutionary elements of cooperation and intergroup competition 28:54 – How to avoid the trap of viewing evolution as teleological 34:07 – The idea of self-domestication 39:55 – Morality and human rights 45:17 – How emotions affect decision-making and diplomacy 50:32 – Hierarchy and status-seeking in IR 56:56 – Applying an evolutionary framework to the IR phenomena of alliances, nuclear deterrence, and strategic balancing 1:01:31 – Altruism toward out-groups 1:05:57 – The inevitability of competition with China 1:08:19 – The intellectual challenges Jeremy faced while working on this project, and what he would develop further in the future1:12:51 – Jeremy's thoughts on what IR as a discipline should address, integrating evolutionary science Paying It Forward: Richard TurcsányiRecommendations:Jeremy: The WEIRDest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous by Joseph Henrich; and The Expanse novels by James S.

You hold the door open. You say yes when you mean no. You put others first—always. It feels like the right thing to do… but is it costing you more than you realize? In this episode, Scott Barry Kaufman, Ph.D.—Columbia professor, psychologist, and author of Rise Above—joins Dave Asprey to expose the psychology of victim vs. empowerment mindsets. He reveals how toxic altruism, external validation, and emotional fragility keep people stuck—and how you can reclaim your confidence, set boundaries, and create a life of true growth. Dr. Kaufman, one of the world's most cited scientists, shares cutting-edge research on self-actualization, resilience, and the hidden mental loops that shape your success. If you've ever felt stuck in self-doubt, drained from over-giving, or afraid to take up space, this conversation will help you break free. What You'll Discover in This Episode: • Victim vs. empowerment mindset—the key shift that changes everything • The psychological traps of toxic altruism—and why over-giving holds you back • How people-pleasing rewires your brain—and how to break the cycle • The science of self-actualization—how to unlock your full potential without guilt • Why modern culture and social media reward emotional fragility—and how to rise above it • The neuroscience behind confidence, resilience, and making better choices for YOUR growth If you've ever felt stuck, undervalued, or drained from always being “nice”, this episode will show you how to step into your power, rewrite your mental programming, and take control of your future.

Picture this: a man in his 80s trying to cross the street, but the traffic doesn't pause for long enough for him to cross. A young woman notices his difficulty, and runs over to help. Does the young woman get any kind of benefit from her action, or is it entirely thankless? Today, Dr. Bart Ehrman and I are talking about altruism. Is it possible to do a good deed without experiencing some kind of benefit?

My guest is Dr. Michael Platt, Ph.D., a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. We discuss how factors such as hormonal or social status influence what we value, how we make decisions, and even our perceptions across a range of areas, from who and what we find attractive to our political affiliations. We also discuss how humans evaluate and shift power in relationships and form hierarchies in groups. Dr. Platt also shares new science-based tools for improving focus, creativity, and attention.

In this episode, I analyze the complex dynamics of compassion in society, discussing how genuine empathy is often exploited by those in power for personal gain. I highlight the disparity between altruistic narratives from institutions and the harsh realities faced by the average citizen, questioning the effectiveness of charitable efforts that benefit bureaucratic elites. Emphasizing direct action over outsourcing moral responsibilities, I advocate for personal engagement with those in need to better understand poverty's nuances. I challenge the belief that financial aid alone can solve these issues, urging listeners to take an active role in their communities and maintain the integrity of their compassion.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-Ins.

How can we verify if humans are inherently self-interested? Are all actions "selfish"? What are the implications of this if it's true?How do I deal with a neurotic personality where i always do the opposite of what's good for me?Yes, what the hell is wrong with you?Thoughts about doing a meetup in Thailand? Your thoughts on long-term permanent space colonies will it ever be possible?Do we REALLY need more "relationship experts"? In the context of people not REALLY changing, we are just hanging on, more often than not. And all these experts created a trend were a lot of people are more interested in the theory of being "healed" and "ready" instead of just fricking going out like normal people. In the end don't we just make it as we go? all this expertise people are developing (lol) from 2min clips are just a new and different kind of apathy and esoteric judgements.Two words: thank you I've never heard you analyse the affects of outsourcing. Globalisation is the number one conspiracy, IMO. You focus a lot on fiat currency and the welfare state but I think outsourcing is more causative to the human condition. Such a simple trick! We're given the final product but denied the growing and the making of the product. So simple yet devastating.After a long break from family due to dysfunction, abuse, addiction and infidelity, how do I self prepare to visit a parent who is gravely ill or attend the funeral.
