Podcasts about Harm

John and Craig consider all the words they have to write and ask, how do you know when something deserves your best effort? They offer a useful rubric for deciding when something is worth perfecting, and when over-optimization is a waste of time. We also follow up on compulsive writing habits, industry euphemisms, back issues, and the impact and legacy of the WGA's 2019 agency negotiations. In our bonus segment for premium members, it's a new year! John looks back at things he accomplished in 2025 and his goals for 2026, while Craig sighs and gestures in the direction of The Last of Us.

Send us a textIn this Journal Club episode, Ben and Daphna review a major randomized clinical trial published in JAMA comparing expectant management with active pharmacologic treatment of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants. They walk through the trial design, inclusion criteria, and outcomes, highlighting the unexpected survival difference favoring expectant management despite similar rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The discussion explores the implications for bedside decision-making, the limitations of PDA-focused strategies, and the need for a more physiologic, patient-centered approach to ductal management in extremely preterm infants.----Expectant Management vs Medication for Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Infants: The PDA Randomized Clinical Trial.

Welcome back to Now I Get It. In this episode, I break down a term we hear all the time in national security conversations but rarely slow down to understand: harm's way. I explore how this concept is traditionally defined in U.S. military policy, why it matters, and how it's being challenged by the current use of remote warfare. Using the recent drone-led attacks in the Caribbean as a backdrop, I look at what happens when technology distances human operators from physical danger—yet still places the country itself in profound geopolitical risk.I also dig into the overlooked consequences of attacking vessels on the open sea, why the flag a boat flies carries legal and military implications, and how these actions can provoke entirely justified responses from nation-states. From asymmetric warfare to murky acts of sabotage and drone incursions, I explore how conflicts escalate without ever being formally declared—and how decisions made far from the battlefield ripple out to place the entire U.S. military, and even the country, in harm's way.In this episode, you will learn:(00:00) Why “harm's way” matters in today's military decisions(00:23) How drone warfare challenges the War Powers Act(01:03) Why attacking a flagged vessel is an act of war(01:45) How asymmetric warfare enables covert retaliation(02:28) Why murky attacks blur responsibility in global conflict(03:14) How U.S. drone strikes put the entire military at riskLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Hormone Genius, we are joined by expert OB/GYN Kristina Pakiz, founder of Vivify Women's Health and Fertility, for an honest, evidence-based conversation about fertility testing, specifically AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone), and what it does and does not tell women about their ability to conceive naturally. Dr. Pakiz brings years of clinical experience caring for women across the reproductive lifespan, with a special focus on restorative, patient-centered fertility care. Her approach emphasizes education, individualized evaluation, and empowering women with accurate information rather than fear-based lab interpretations. What Is AMH? AMH is a hormone produced by the granulosa cells of small, developing follicles in the ovaries. Clinically, it is often described as a marker of ovarian reserve, meaning it gives an estimate of how many recruitable follicles remain—not how well those eggs function, and not whether a woman can conceive naturally. Because AMH levels tend to decline with age, they are frequently used in fertility clinics to help predict response to ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. Why AMH Is Not a Good Marker of Natural Fertility One of the most important takeaways from this episode is that AMH is often misunderstood and over-applied, especially in younger women. Dr. Pakiz explains that: AMH does not predict whether a woman can get pregnant naturally Women with low AMH can and do conceive spontaneously Women with high AMH may still struggle with ovulation, cycle irregularity, or other fertility barriers AMH does not assess egg quality, ovulation timing, uterine health, cervical mucus, or hormonal balance In other words, AMH reflects quantity, not function, and fertility depends on far more than follicle count. The Harm of Over-Interpreting AMH Dr. Pakiz also addresses the emotional and clinical harm that can occur when AMH is presented as a “fertility score.” Many women are told they are “running out of time” or that pregnancy is unlikely based on AMH alone, messages that are often inaccurate and unnecessarily distressing. Dr. Pakiz describes the alternative of NaproTechnology/Restorative Reproductive Medicine. Exciting NEWS!!!

Tonight dismantles the lie that harm announces itself. Barbara Oakley exposed pathological altruism as help unexamined—care that feeds on dependency while calling itself love. Emmanuel Levinas cautioned that ethics becomes violence when care totalizes the Other, when helping replaces encounter, when support erases difference rather than honors it.

Running a medical practice today means navigating complex operational, business, and legal challenges. In this season opener, hosts Brad and Michael share the story of a California physician who thought firing a toxic practice manager at his longevity clinic would be simple—until it was not. What began as a routine staffing decision quickly uncovered employees misclassified as independent contractors, blurred ownership language, and personal relationships complicating business operations. Learn the small missteps, like misclassifying employees or casually using the term “partner”, that can lead to serious legal and financial consequences, and what you can do to prevent them.  Chapters00:00 Intro01:47 Banter05:47 Story07:50 Access+18:29 Legal Takeaways30:03 OutroWatch full episodes of our podcast on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@byrdadatto Stay connected for the latest business and health care legal updates:Website FacebookInstagramLinkedIn

For more than a century, economists have told us they're simply “describing the world as it is.” But what if their theories aren't neutral — and are quietly doing enormous harm? This week, we're joined by economist George DeMartino, author of The Tragic Science, who makes a devastating case that modern economics has helped legitimize policies that shattered communities, fueled inequality, and even cost millions of lives — all while claiming scientific objectivity. DeMartino exposes how orthodox economics trained itself to dismiss real suffering as abstract and acceptable — as long as the aggregate numbers looked good. If you've ever wondered why economic “expertise” keeps failing working people, this conversation connects the dots. George DeMartino is a Professor of Economics at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. He is the author of The Tragic Science: How Economists Cause Harm (Even as They Aspire to Do Good) and The Economist's Oath. His work examines the moral obligations of economists, the profession's history of harm—including what he calls econogenic harm—and the need for a new ethics grounded in humility, uncertainty, and democratic accountability.

What if cannabis education focused on benefits, not fear?Daniel Bear, PhD returns to break down the cannabis industry THC obsession, Canada's cannabis tax imbalance, and why mindful consumption—not prohibition—is the future of cannabis policy. Daniel tackles falling prices, rising taxes, disappearing profit margins, and the ongoing threat of the illicit market. He explores how high-THC marketing pressures, youth protection, and consumer education can seem to be in conflict. Everyone, except governments, hat taxes, but Daniel believes smarter tax policies could stabilize the market without compromising safety. Daniel also unveils an exciting new 'project: HERBy, the Helpful Education for Responsible Benefit-maximization tool. AI can be your therapist, or your research assistant, so why not a mindful cannabis consumption chatbot. This tool is built on groundbreaking research from his recent peer-reviewed study, "Harm reduction isn't enough: Introducing the concept of Mindful Consumption and Benefit Maximization (MCBM)," published in the International Journal of Drug Policy. Listen now to learn whether Canada is still on the right path—and what industry, government, and consumers must do next to ensure legalization succeeds for everyone.HERBy Chatbot - websiteDaniel Bear PhD - LinkedIn-responsum.caTranscripts, papers and so much more at: reefermed.ca

December 31, 2025 Daily Devotional: “Turning Harm Into Good”Genesis 50:20 ​"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." ​ ​The story of Joseph is a rollercoaster of betrayal, false accusations, and forgotten promises. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, and left to rot in a dungeon, Joseph had every "right" to be bitter. However, at the end of his journey, standing before the very brothers who tried to destroy him, Joseph doesn't offer a lecture or a sentence of punishment. Instead, he offers a perspective shift. ​Genesis 50:20 is one of the most powerful declarations of faith in the entire Bible. It acknowledges simultaneous realities of an intent and divine sovereignty. People may act out of malice, jealousy, or selfishness. The "harm" Josephfelt was real. However, God is not a passive observer of our pain. He is the Master Weaver, taking the dark threads of our suffering and weaving them into a tapestry of redemption. ​ God didn't just "fix" Joseph's mess, He used the mess to save a nation. Your current struggle, whether it's a difficult workplace, a broken relationship, or an unexpected setback. This is not outside of God's reach. He is currently working behind the scenes to turn what was meant to break you into a bridge for someone else's healing. ​  Is there someone you are holding a grudge against? Acknowledge the harm they did, release what ishurting and choose to believe that God's plan for your life is bigger than their mistake. Ask God to show you how your current trial might be preparing you to help others in the future.​ Trust the process and remind yourself today thatwhile you may see a "detour," God sees a "delivery."​ 

Thinking about asking ChatGPT about your desire gap at 2am? You're not alone—lots of people are turning to AI for relationship help. And I get it. It's free, private, and you don't have to admit to another human that you're struggling.But here's what you need to know: AI can be genuinely helpful for some things—like understanding new concepts, normalizing your experience, or organizing your thoughts before talking to your partner. But it also has serious limitations that can actually make your problems worse.In this episode, I break down what AI does well (psychoeducation, reducing shame) and what it fundamentally can't do (anything embodied or somatic). We'll talk about the "sycophancy problem"—why AI tells you what you want to hear instead of what you need to hear—and when it's time to get actual human support.For anyone considering on turning to AI for relationship advice, but wanting to be informed about that choice, this one's for you.Get my free guide: 5 Steps to Start Solving Desire Differences (Without Blame or Shame), A Practical Starting Point for Individuals and Couples, at https://laurajurgens.com/libido Find out more about me at https://laurajurgens.com/

In this episode, Paige and Jamie from Real Food Recovery join us to explore the powerful intersection of holistic health, nervous system regulation, and long-term recovery from ultra-processed food addiction. They share why they wrote their book, the four core branches that anchor recovery, and why recovery isn't about perfection—it's about resilience, compassion, and sustainable support systems that hold us when life falls apart.   With honesty and courage, Jamie shares her story of leaving an abusive relationship and navigating destabilization while protecting her recovery. Together, we dig into spirituality (beyond religion), harm reduction, abstinence debates, nervous system science, ego traps like "I'll start Monday," and how we can meet ourselves with clarity and grace instead of shame. This conversation is validating, empowering, and deeply human. Recovery isn't about mastering food—it's about building a life worth staying for.

[This episode originally aired on February 21, 2023]  Is there a way to make a sane relationship with our bad deeds and our regrets, to learn from them and to move on from them?  •  it's not easy to face up to all that we've done; it's not easy to find a way between wallowing in guilt and evading responsibility  • in the Buddhist monastic traditions, there is a practice that addresses this issue •  it's assumed that over time we can't avoid causing harm, but this practice provides a way of directly facing and working with the harm we have caused  •  the starting point is remorse; we feel bad about what we have done, and we want to do something about it  •  remorse leads us to the second step: acknowledging our harmful actions, confessing them, and seeking to purify them  •  the third step is making amends, counteracting the harm we've done by doing something beneficial, which could include asking for forgiveness  •  acknowledging and working with our mistakes is so much better than just holding onto a big pool of regret  •  we can include everything, all of our experiences, to the enrichment of our journey.

Our guest, Mara Revkin, a leading scholar of governance and justice in conflict zones, talks about how civilians make trust decisions when the state collapses and armed groups take control. Drawing on fieldwork and survey research in places such as Mosul, this conversation challenges the idea that trust in wartime is driven by ideology or belief. Instead, it shows how trust under extreme conditions is often pragmatic. Civilians compare dangerous alternatives and look for the authority that appears more predictable, less arbitrary, and more likely to follow its own rules. The episode explores why predictability and procedural fairness can matter more than political values or formal freedoms. Even harsh systems of rule may generate compliance when courts function quickly, corruption is limited, and rules are applied consistently. This does not produce genuine legitimacy, but it can feel safer than alternatives marked by chaos or bribery. We also discuss how civilians navigate situations of competitive governance, where states and armed groups both claim authority. Trust becomes relative rather than absolute and is shaped by everyday experiences with justice, security, and basic services. This form of trust is fragile and erodes quickly when governance becomes more coercive or unpredictable. The conversation examines how military conduct affects civilian perceptions during active conflict. Civilians judge armed actors by perceived intent, proportionality, and communication. Harm that is poorly explained or left uncompensated can undermine trust, even when unintended, while material compensation often matters more than apologies alone. Finally, the episode turns to post-conflict justice and reintegration. Externally imposed solutions often struggle to gain trust when communities are excluded from their design. While rehabilitation, apologies, and compensation can help rebuild social relations, there are limits shaped by the severity of past harm and time. A central insight runs throughout the episode: trust in wartime is not about shared values or moral approval, but about survival and predictability when every option is risky.

Send us a textIn this powerful episode of the Crisis in Education Podcast, Dr. Paul “Paulie” Gavoni sits down with Bonnie and Thomas Liotta, founders of Creating Champions For Life, for an unfiltered conversation about behavior, safety, and the cost of getting it wrong.The discussion centers on a reality educators and parents can no longer ignore: when systems rely on reactive, punishment-based approaches, everyone loses—students, families, and staff. Drawing from decades of experience and thousands of transformed families, the Liottas challenge conventional behavior management practices and offer a proactive, skills-based alternative grounded in prevention, regulation, and human dignity.Together, Paulie, Bonnie, and Thomas unpack why restraint-driven cultures persist, how fear and misinformation shape decision-making, and what happens when adults are trained to teach life skills instead of managing crises. The conversation connects behavior science, parenting, education, and leadership through one unifying question: What would change if we focused on building capacity instead of controlling behavior?This episode is a must-listen for educators, administrators, behavior analysts, parents, and leaders who want safer environments, better outcomes, and approaches that actually work in the real world.About the GuestsBonnie and Thomas Liotta are the founders of Creating Champions For Life, where they have helped over 3,000 children achieve a 90% behavioral transformation rate and a 78% medication elimination rate across hundreds of families.After Bonnie's own children struggled with behavioral diagnoses, she discovered Thomas's methodology and experienced a complete transformation at home. Today, they challenge traditional parenting and behavior models by teaching families how to eliminate challenging behavior through proactive life-skills development, not punishment. Combined, they bring over 60 years of experience in child development and personal growth.Resources Mentioned in This Episode

All this week we've been looking at some of the latest data from the Pew Research Center on how parents of children ages twelve and under are managing the realities of life in a smartphone saturated world. One finding that should cause us to pause in our parenting steps is this: parents overwhelmingly think using social media does more to harm than benefit their kids. In fact, eighty-percent of parents of kids twelve and under say that there are more harms than benefits from social media. This begs a question: If, in fact, there are any harmful aspects related to social media use, why are we allowing our kids to engage with social media through their smartphones and screens? Parents, the Apostle Paul tells us in the book of Ephesians that our high calling is to nurture and raise our children in the admonition of the Lord. We need be about the work of protecting our children from harm and providing for their well-being. Remember this as you think about your kids and social media.

TikTok reshapes the way people talk about bodies, beauty, and wellness. What looks like gentle self care often hides restrictive eating patterns, thinness pressure, and aesthetic rules that reward shrinking. In this episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores how TikTok rebrands diet culture by disguising restriction inside trends like “anti bloat,” “glow up,” “clean girl body,” and “body recomposition.” Dr. Marianne explains why these trends spread quickly, why they create a strong pull for people with eating disorders, and why neurodivergent viewers may feel especially drawn to routines that promise control or calm. She describes how glow up narratives romanticize disappearance and how thinness becomes a transformation story. You will learn how to identify coded diet language and how to stay grounded while moving through online spaces that promote harmful messaging. What You Will Learn in This Episode 1. How TikTok Rebrands Diet Culture Dr. Marianne explains how “anti bloat” routines and glow up challenges present restriction as wellness. She highlights how these messages look soft and soothing even though they pressure people to shrink and control their bodies. 2. How Coded Restriction Language Shows Up Online You will learn how creators use soothing audio, soft visuals, and vague terms to disguise patterns that mirror disordered eating. Dr. Marianne names the phrases that quietly promote thinness. 3. Why Neurodivergent Viewers and People With Eating Disorders Feel Drawn In Structured routines and visuals can feel comforting or predictable. Dr. Marianne describes how this pull can feel stronger for neurodivergent listeners or anyone living with long-term food struggles. 4. How Glow-Up Culture Romanticizes Shrinking Dr. Marianne explores how glow up narratives frame thinness as success, transformation, or emotional strength. These stories reward disappearance and pressure people to strive for smaller bodies. 5. Intersectionality and Harmful Messaging Dr. Marianne names the ways thinness aesthetics reinforce cultural pressures for people in larger bodies, people of color, neurodivergent individuals, transgender and nonbinary people, and anyone who already experiences scrutiny or marginalization. 6. How to Strengthen Your Relationship With TikTok You will learn practical strategies to identify harmful patterns, curate your feed, follow body liberation voices, and stay centered in your own needs while using the platform. Content Caution This episode includes discussion of thinness trends, restrictive routines, and coded dieting messages on TikTok. If you feel overwhelmed or activated, please pause and return when you feel grounded.

If you've ever questioned why your grief feels different, episode 394 of the Grief and Happiness podcast is for you. Award-winning author and grief educator Theo Boyd shares the life-shifting losses that shaped her work and the signs that helped her forward. She explains why comparing grief adds to the pain and why sadness is not a disorder. Her story offers a clear, hopeful reminder that healing begins when you honor your own way through loss.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(01:02) How a tragic farm accident changed Theo's life overnight(02:40) Why journaling became her first lifeline through overwhelming grief(03:55) The moment she realized her notes needed to become a grief book(04:50) How compounded loss shaped My Grief Is Not Like Yours(06:10) The story behind her second book Hope All the Way and the signs that inspired it(09:03) What her national grief study reveals about America's hidden grief crisis(11:37) Why society's discomfort with sadness harms grievers(12:47) The real meaning of “complicated grief” and why labels can be damaging(14:22) How early counseling support helped her survive the darkest period(17:22) How signs and moments of meaning helped her rediscover purposeThelizabeth “Theo” Boyd is an award-winning author, speaker, podcast host, and certified grief educator whose work centers on validating the many forms of loss. A former high-school English and creative writing teacher, she turned to journaling after a series of life-altering events, including the accidental death of her mother, the sudden loss of her longtime counselor, the end of her marriage, and later her father's suicide. These experiences shaped her first book, My Grief Is Not Like Yours, and her upcoming release Hope All the Way, which also incorporates findings from her national study on the state of grief in America.In her conversation with Emily, Theo reflects on how writing became both an anchor and a purpose after her world collapsed. She explains why grief must be witnessed, why comparisons rarely comfort, and how meaning deepens into purpose only when it serves others. Theo also shares the powerful signs she's received from her parents, the importance of normalizing sadness instead of pathologizing it, and the urgent need to address the country's grief crisis. Her perspective offers listeners a grounded, hope-filled reminder that healing grows from honesty, connection, and staying open to moments of grace along the way.Connect with Theo Boyd:WebsiteFacebookLinkedInInstagramYouTubeLet's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterThe Grief and Happiness Alliance Hosted on Acast.

Priscilla Ward joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they explore how true healing happens not through fixing or rescuing, but by learning to sit in discomfort, lead with curiosity, and create consistent communities where survivors can feel safe enough to begin their journey at their own pace. https://youtube.com/shorts/Jsi6YO3zobw?feature=share   Priscilla Ward Priscilla Ward, LCSW, is the Founder and Clinical Director of Compass Rose Psychotherapy in Fullerton, California. With over 18 years in the helping profession and 15 years of clinical experience, she has dedicated her career to supporting youth, young adults, and families through trauma, anxiety, substance use, and grief. A graduate of the University of Southern California with a Master's in Social Work, Priscilla brings extensive experience from nonprofit agencies, community mental health clinics, correctional facilities, and school-based programs. She has led mental health teams for the Orange County Department of Education, developing trauma-responsive programs and training professionals in high-stress environments. Her bilingual Spanish fluency and cultural responsiveness make her a trusted ally across diverse communities. Beyond direct practice, Priscilla serves as a consultant and trainer, equipping educators, faith leaders, law enforcement personnel, and mental health professionals with trauma-informed, harm reduction, and motivational interviewing frameworks. Key Points People heal in community and relationship, not in isolation, and this healing process is rarely linear—it's complex and messy, especially for those who have experienced trauma. The shift from "what's wrong with this person" to "what happened to this person" is foundational to trauma-informed care and creates space for dignity and compassion over judgment. Harm reduction is a philosophy grounded in meeting people where they are, honoring their dignity even when they aren't ready to stop certain behaviors, and recognizing that small steps matter because keeping people alive and safe creates opportunities for future healing. Faith communities can love people well by learning to sit in discomfort and resist the urge to fix or rescue, instead focusing on building belonging without requiring behavioral compliance as a prerequisite. Understanding the stages of change (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and sometimes relapse) helps helpers meet survivors appropriately at each stage rather than imposing expectations they're not ready for. Secondary trauma and burnout are real costs of caring, and taking care of our own wellness is critically important because we need to be healthy people in the room to truly serve others without reinforcing harm. Trust is the bridge for change, and consistency creates safety that literally rewires the brain—centering connection over correction leads to systemic change in how we support survivors. Listening to voices of lived experience is essential; helpers should ask "what do you need" rather than assuming they know what survivors need. Resources Compass Rose Psychotherapy Transcript [00:00:00] Priscilla Ward: what harm reduction looks like in my community might be very different than yours, but the spirit of harm reduction can be applied. Anywhere and everywhere. [00:00:11] Delaney: You know that uncomfortable space where things aren't neat or solved, what if that's where the real healing starts? Today's conversation leans into that gray area. The space where our instinct to fix meets the deeper need to simply be present. [00:00:25] When we let go of control and step into curiosity, we make room for safety, dignity, and real connection. That kind of community can change everything. Hi, I'm Delaney Menninger. I'm a student here at Vanguard University and I help produce this show. Today, Sandy talks with Priscilla Ward, a licensed clinical social worker who trains faith leaders and community team...

In this Clinician's Corner episode, Clarissa and Molly dive into what they lovingly (and accurately) call the "Hella-Days"—that stretch from early fall through New Year's where routines disappear, food is everywhere, emotions are high, and nervous systems are fried. Together, they unpack why this season is so activating for people with food addiction and nervous system sensitivity, and how to navigate it with values, boundaries, and a whole lot of self-compassion—whether you're surrounded by family or spending the holidays on your own. In This Episode Clarissa & Molly explore: Why the holidays can feel like the "Holiday Hunger Games" and "12 Days of Dysregulation" How the nervous system responds to the build-up from September to New Year's Using values as your North Star for holiday decisions Boundary tools and scripts for parties, family gatherings, and food pushers Why holiday food environments are an "engineered stressor" (hello, peppermint-everything marketing) Strategies for: Going to events without abandoning your recovery Deciding when not to go Coping with loneliness, isolation, and dark evenings Harm reduction during high-exposure events ("good, better, best" thinking) How to re-imagine your holiday story over time instead of chasing perfection Ideas for folks who love the holidays (Clarissmas) and folks who… don't (Molly

Known for his rigorous critiques of central banking and his optimistic vision for personal sovereignty, Robert Breedlove brings decades of economic insight and philosophical inquiry to the table. Together, he and Tom Bilyeu break down the practical and ethical problems underlying today's political headlines, including the resurgence of socialism, the structure of the “deep state,” and why incentives drive the behavior of individuals and institutions. In Part 1, Tom and Robert explore the fundamental flaws of centralized systems—from socialist governance and political theater to the mechanics and consequences of central banking and inflation. The conversation examines the history of money itself, the unintended consequences of trying to organize society from the top down, and the anatomy of coercion versus consent in economics. Whether you're skeptical of government spending or on the hunt for financial security in turbulent times, this episode offers a lucid roadmap for understanding the motivations and incentives shaping our world.

A study of more than 1.3 million Americans found that people living in areas with high trichloroethylene (TCE) levels had a 10% greater risk of Parkinson's disease than those in cleaner regions TCE, a solvent once used in dry cleaning and degreasing, persists in air, soil, and groundwater for decades, exposing people through contaminated water and indoor air — even far from industrial sites Laboratory research revealed that TCE damages dopamine-producing neurons, disrupts mitochondrial energy production, and causes toxic protein buildup like that seen in Parkinson's patients The studies show that chronic, low-level exposure to environmental toxins silently erodes brain health over time, especially in older adults with weakened cellular repair systems Reducing exposure through clean water, good ventilation, and low-toxin household choices — while supporting your cells through restorative sleep, regular movement, and whole, unprocessed foods — helps protect mitochondrial energy production and strengthen long-term neurological resilience

Effective altruism is a philosophical and social movement that uses empirical data to maximize the impact of charitable efforts. Those who champion EA praise its methodological framework for maximizing the effectiveness of donations, thus ensuring equal consideration for all individuals. Those who challenge EA argue that its emphasis on measurable outcomes may overlook important yet hard-to-quantify causes, potentially restricting the scope of what's considered beneficial. Now we debate: Does the Effective Altruism Movement Get Giving Right?    Arguing Yes: Peter Singer, Author of “The Most Good You Can Do”; Philosopher and Emeritus Professor of Bioethics at the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University   Arguing No: Alice Crary, Co-Editor of “The Good it Promises, The Harm it Does: Critical Essays on Effective Altruism”; University Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at The New School for Social Research  Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates    Visit our Substack to watch more insightful debates and subscribe to our newsletter.   Learn more about your ad choices.
