Podcast appearances and mentions of Jason Brennan

Trumps seger i presidentvalet har hos en del väckt tvivel om demokratins tillstånd. Men argumenten mot folkstyre har varit sig lika sedan de allra äldsta resonerande grekiska texterna och får nu eko av tänkare som Torbjörn Tännsjö och den amerikanske filosofen Jason Brennan, som vill ta makten från massorna och ge den till en upplyst elit. Fredrik Sixtensson skriver om demokratins kritiker i artikelserien Idéerna som skakar världen. Inläsare: Magnus Thorén

Dr. Jason Brennan is a Flanigan Family professor at Georgetown Business School who agrees that democracies outperform most historical alternatives, but suggests that some form of Epistocracy (meaning the rule of the knowledgeable) could be worth experimenting with. In other words, the more of an informed voter you are, the more weight your vote carries. He covers why democracy may not be as bullet proof as we believe, what the practical applications of epistocracy could look like, education's disappointing impact on informed voting & the right and wrong way to become a more informed voter.If you liked this episode, you'll also like episode 136: VIRTUE SIGNALING.

Democracy stands as one of humanity's most treasured institutions, but what if the very foundation it's built upon is less solid than we believe? What is an epistocracy and how could it work better as a form of government?Jason Brennan is a professor at Georgetown University and the author of several books. His latest work is titled Against Democracy.Jason and Greg discuss how voting, often romanticized as the pinnacle of civic duty, hides a twisted web of irrational loyalties and tribal instincts that can lead us astray. Jason explains the historical context of political discord and the role of expertise in an era where trusted figures become polarizing symbols. They scrutinize the influence of political factions and social signaling, the curious ways in which political interests align across different cultures, and whether deliberation in democracy genuinely elevates decision-making or merely intensifies division. Jason concludes by revealing the hidden trials and tribulations of pursuing a PhD, and the emphasis on research productivity over teaching, the financial realities of academic life, and the necessity of guidance for non-academic careers.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why don't voters admit their ignorance and defer to experts in policy matters?16:37: You're right that even in markets when we do a lot of delegation, however, we still have a kind of check on this, right? So, I know only the most basic plumbing. So if I have any big problem, I'm going to have to call the plumber in. But when the plumber leaves, I can tell if there's still a leak underneath the bathtub, right? It's like, well, the water is still dripping, so he must have done a bad job. I couldn't fix it myself, but I can check to see whether he fixed it. [17:09] We don't have that same ability when it comes to politics. If a person implements a policy, I put in the Cares Act; did that make things better? How would you know? How would you measure that? That takes expert ability, not just to sort of know what's happened in the past five years as a result of it, but to disentangle the effects of that policy from all the other confounding things. I mean, you and I see policy papers where people try to do this, and it's extremely difficult. So the average person doesn't know how to do that. They do, however, defer to experts in a way, but the experts they defer to are people like comedians on late-night TV who make fun of the other side.Politics as Social Signaling28:46: A lot of what we're doing with politics is this kind of signaling to one another: we're the right kind of person, we're good, we're virtuous, we're kind. Please like me, be my friend, etc. I think that's what's happening in politics. We're using our vote as a way of getting social benefits for ourselves.Why does Europe's political landscape look different?23:21: One of the reasons why I think political distances, or differences, are less pernicious in most of Europe than they are in the U.S. is partly because when you have proportional voting systems, you have more viable political parties. And as a result, it's like your neighbors are all going to be people at different parties. It's really hard for you to segregate yourself in terms of your work, where you live, whom you date, and whom you befriend, because there's just so much variation. So, you can't afford to make that the same kind of signal that you do in the U.S., we have a first-past-the-post voting system that predicts there's going to be two major parties, and I think we get this behavior as a result.In politics, you don't get the same kind of reward-punishment system that you get elsewhere15:42: When it comes to politics, there are only two major parties, and so you can afford and get rewarded for excluding a bunch of people and just playing along with your team. So I think the incentive structure of politics is worse than the incentive structure we have in most other aspects of our lives.Show Links:Recommended Resources:EpistocracyJeremy WaldronAlexis de TocquevilleVoltaireJean-Jacques RousseauThomas ChristianoJohn RawlsGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Georgetown UniversityWikipedia PageProfile on PhilPeople.orgHis Work:Amazon Author PageBusiness Ethics for Better BehaviorAgainst Democracy: New PrefaceDemocracy: A Guided TourCracks in the Ivory Tower: The Moral Mess of Higher EducationGood Work If You Can Get It: How to Succeed in AcademiaPolitical Philosophy: An Introduction (Libertarianism.org Guides Book 1)Injustice for All: How Financial Incentives Corrupted and Can Fix the US Criminal Justice SystemLibertarianism: What Everyone Needs to Know?Why Not Capitalism?When All Else Fails: The Ethics of Resistance to State InjusticeWhy It's OK to Want to Be RichIn Defense of Openness: Why Global Freedom Is the Humane Solution to Global PovertyA Brief History of Liberty (Brief Histories of Philosophy Book 1)Compulsory Voting: For and AgainstGoogle Scholar Page

Libertarians are known for their advocacy of free choice, free association, and free movement. But are there boundaries or limits to this openness? Dr. Jason Brennan of Georgetown University joins us to talk what it means to advocate for global justice, and why it means being open borders and free trade. In the book he makes a rigorous defense for positive-sum interactions because global justice demands it.(Re-Mastered for Re-Issue.)Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com

An interview with Dr. Jason Brennan of Georgetown University on his book "Why It's OK to Want to be Rich."

Alex and Benjamin discuss The Ethics of Voting (Princeton UP, 2011) by Jason Brennan, a contemporary political philosopher with a right-libertarian bent. They explore the consequences of thinking about voting from the standpoint of the individual. They talk about "harm reduction," and explore the many reasons it is hard to predict the consequences of elections in a straightforward way.

Recorded Live at the 2023 Institute Summit, Michael Smith, Jason Brennan and Mike Simard discuss leadership, growth, culture and the resilience needed to commit to succeed in your business. Michael Smith, Managing Partner, Herzberg Smith and Co, Michael Smith's previous episodes HERE Jason Brennan, Fine Tune Auto Service, Lansing, IL and Hobart, IN. Mike Simard, Simard Automotive, 4 locations, Fairbanks, AK. Show Notes The pace of change- OEM incentivized to make changes (autonomous alternative drive drains, connectivity, shared mobility) How do we participate today to be successful down the road? And what would that look like? Mindset- the power of belief, the challenge of solving something difficult.  When somebody gets stuck any time of the year and needs help, there are so many people, they can pick up the phone and call. Be fearless and be fearless together.  Your resilience- your people need to see that you're there committed to succeeding.  People are either running toward opportunity or running away from something.  Serve people first. Think outside the box, never give up. Competitive advantage- USP unique selling proposition, UVP unique value proposition is embedded in all of that is the word unique. SWOT analysis. Once you get to be a great journeyperson and you move into mastery, and you're solving all the problems that you and others couldn't solve before, what comes after that? Once you achieve a high level of mastery, you start to think about how does this fit into the bigger picture and how do other things work? When you get to that level, now you start attracting high-performance cultures. The competitive advantage is the experience that you have, and that comes from the people and the values that they share. Core Values: ‘Idea” - integrity, dependability, excellence, empathy, and attentiveness. Your systems and processes should embody what you believe. The best doctors at a doctor's office- explained the process, transparent about results, explained what is to come next and why it's needed, and asked if you had any questions. If you truly care about people, you'll do the right thing, and the money will come . We're not selling stuff, we're stewarding the investment of their vehicle, which is a depreciating asset. Communicating with your employees regularly.

O que é que caracteriza a Filosofia contemporânea enquanto área do saber? Na verdade, não é nada fácil dizer exactamente de que trata Filosofia, sem deixar coisas de fora ou ser demasiado abrangente.  A minha definição preferida é talvez aquela que diz que a Filosofia «é a busca por entender verdades fundamentais sobre nós próprios, o mundo em que vivemos e as nossas relações seja com o mundo seja uns com os outros». Por outras palavras, a Filosofia distingue-se das outras áreas do conhecimento não só por ter um foco incrivelmente amplo (não há tema que não seja passível de ser analisado filosoficamente), mas também --  sobretudo -- por tocar as bases do conhecimento, por descer e questionar os fundamentos do nosso saber e das nossas convicções. É por isso que os filósofos são peritos em fazer-nos perceber que há, muitas vezes, pressupostos errados nos nossos raciocínios e convicções de que nunca nos tínhamos apercebido, ou que não estamos a agir da maneira correcta.  Um dos campos da FIlosofia em que este tipo de reflexão pode gerar mais consequências para a maneira como agimos e nos comportamos em sociedade é a Ética (também chamada Filosofia Moral). E esse é precisamente o tema do livro do convidado deste episódio, Steven Gouveia [website do convidado]: Homo Ignarus: Ética Racional para um Mundo Irracional. Como o título indica, o livro parte da noção das várias falhas da mente humana (desde a nossa cognição limitada, aos vieses cognitivos e às emoções que se metem no caminho da razão), mas é também uma provocação (que se detecta logo pela capa) para a era, a vários títulos, irracional que vivemos, com a preponderância de fake news, apelos à emoção e ascensão de políticos populistas. Durante a nossa conversa, focamo-nos em três assuntos em que esta “ética racional” que Steven Gouveia propõe nos pode levar a pensar de maneira diferente; todos, de alguma forma, tocam em temas de episódios passados do podcast. _______________ Obrigado aos mecenas do podcast: Julie Piccini, Ana Raquel Guimarães Galaró family, José Luís Malaquias, Francisco Hermenegildo, Nuno Costa, Abílio Silva, Salvador Cunha, Bruno Heleno, António llms, Helena Monteiro, BFDC, Pedro Lima Ferreira, Miguel van Uden, João Ribeiro, Nuno e Ana, João Baltazar, Miguel Marques, Corto Lemos, Carlos Martins, Tiago Leite Tomás Costa, Rita Sá Marques, Geoffrey Marcelino, Luis, Maria Pimentel, Rui Amorim, RB, Pedro Frois Costa, Gabriel Sousa, Mário Lourenço, Filipe Bento Caires, Diogo Sampaio Viana, Tiago Taveira, Ricardo Leitão, Pedro B.

Gouveia é Doutorado em (Neuro)Filosofia da Mente pela Universidade do Minho (Braga, Portugal). É actualmente Investigador do Centro de Estudos Filosóficos e Humanísticos da Universidade Católica Portuguesa (Projecto de Investigação UIDB/00683/2020 financiado pela FCT). Durante o seu doutoramento (Investigador FCT), foi investigador-visitante do Minds, Brain Imaging and Neuroethics do Royal Institute of Mental Health (PI: Georg Northoff), onde foi Investigador Pós-Doutoral (2021-2022). Foi Editor-Chefe do “Apeiron - Student Journal of Philosophy”. ​​​Publicou, como editor e autor, 12 livros (revisados por pares) sobre vários temas académicos.

Por fim, para além da intensa produção autoral, proferiu inúmeras palestras em conferências académicas (ex: Ciência da Consciência 2019, Suiça), em eventos públicos (ex: Orador Principal do Philosophy Sharing Foundation, Malta; Forum Chipre 2022).

In this interview, Richard and Kimon speak with David Regn, CEO of Stream Companies. Collectively, David oversees about 600 employees, generating an annual revenue of around $225 million. Growing up in a middle-class family, David got his first job at age 14. He worked at a grocery store, starting as a bagger, before quickly being promoted to run the in-store bakery. He worked in the bakery for five years, growing its weekly revenue from $300 to $3,000 a week. He left the grocery store once he started college, and after an internship, David realized that he didn't want to work for someone else or a big corporation. Instead, he opted for the more challenging path of entrepreneurship. Along, with his best friend Jason Brennan, David began doing independent marketing consulting for small companies owned by friends. This was in the mid-90s when many small businesses did not have any presence on the internet. At first, they helped small business owners like landscapers and physicians produce and distribute brochures. David humorously describes how the first advertisement he ever took out was in the Yellow Pages phone book. Stream Companies had a phone number, but they used David's mother's home as their business address. From this ad, they got their first significant client. The marketing deck they produced made its way to a VP at Motorola, who reached out to David and Jason about additional marketing work. One of their first significant clients was a small gym franchise of five locations owned by his brother. Over the course of the partnership, the franchise added an additional seven locations. This experience helped their company learn more about retail and how to work effectively with smaller owners.  Over the course of the interview, David continues to emphasize the importance of developing and maintaining relationships with clients over time. Many of David's clients have worked with him for 20+ years. As these companies have grown, so has Stream Companies. David also discusses cultivating and developing talent. He says that any boss and business owner should think about how to adequately care for employees, seeing them holistically instead of as just cogs. In the lead-up to the shutdowns from the pandemic, David and his executive board took pay cuts to ensure that as few employees as possible would be hurt by any declines in revenue. As David says, you have to “put people before profits.” At the end of the interview, David talks about more recent developments, including recently selling a majority share of the company. This has given the company more room to grow.  Jason concludes with some advice on what entrepreneurs need to succeed: 1. Grit 2. Positive attitude 3. Be passionate about work In 1996, David Regn and his lifelong friend and business partner, Jason Brennan, founded Stream Companies. In only a few short years, Stream Companies was recognized and awarded as one of the fastest growing, privately held entrepreneurial companies in Philadelphia and has continued to win awards like Inc. 5000, fastest-growing private companies and Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania multiple times over.

Two health topics that we tend to shy away from are on the show today. Elaine Crowley is probably best known for her work on Virgin Media television where she is currently presenting Ireland AM at the weekends. She joins Clare to talk about how she and her sister Maggie have recorded a series of you tube videos about Living with Depression and how to start small conversations that could make a massive difference. Ray Cleary was part of a Men's Shed roadshow which talked about men's health, he shared his experience of prostate cancer with the group. He speaks with Clare about why men don't talk about it more. Jason Brennan is a psychotherapist who has provided training and coaching for large corporate companies, military and emergency services and in the field of sports. His new book written with Brent Pope is called Win – Proven Strategies for success in sport, life and mental health and Jason joins Clare in studio to talk about the key skills to increase resilience and wellbeing.

https://youtu.be/laVg3gyfitA The Moral Parity Thesis The conditions under which a person may, in self-defense or the defense of others, deceive, lie to, sabotage, attack, or kill a fellow civilian, or destroy private property, are also conditions under which a civilian may do the same to a government agent (acting ex officio) or government property. The moral parity thesis holds that justifying self-defense or the defense of others against government agents is on par with justifying self-defense or the defense of others against civilians.   – Jason Brennan, Ph.D., When All Else Fails: The Ethics of Resistance to State Injustice (2019, Princeton University Press), p. 11.

If most voters are misinformed, is democracy legitimate? What sort of voting system should we have in its place? And should some votes count more than others? Presenters: Mark Oppenheimer and Jason Werbeloff Editor and Producer: Jimmy Mullen

https://youtu.be/DG99R2dB8eg The problem with political decisions isn't that most of us don't get our own way. It's also that these decisions are usually imposed on us against our will, by threats of violence...Democracy, as we practice it, is unjust. We expose innocent people to high degrees of risk because we put their fate in the hands of ignorant, misinformed, irrational, biased, and sometimes immoral decision makers. – Jason Brennan, Ph.D., Against Democracy (2016, Princeton University Press), pp. 230, 240.

https://youtu.be/_VXLOjD6708 The problem with political decisions isn't that most of us don't get our own way. It's also that these decisions are usually imposed on us against our will, by threats of violence... Democracy, as we practice it, is unjust. We expose innocent people to high degrees of risk because we put their fate in the hands of ignorant, misinformed, irrational, biased, and sometimes immoral decision makers. – Jason Brennan, Ph.D., Against Democracy (2016; New Jersey: Princeton University Press), pp. 240, 230. Jo Ann Skousen is currently associate editor of Forecasts & Strategies, she co-authored of several investment books, and is associate producer of FreedomFest.

The late Murray Rothbard has passionate fans and critics alike—but was he really the intransigent person his detractors portray? Was he prickly and difficult, or actually generous and helpful to students and colleagues? Did his reputation as an economist suffer for venturing into philosophy, ethics, history, sociology, and anarchism—even though Hayek did the same? Was Man, Economy, and State really just a rehash of Human Action? Did he deviate from Mises on method? Were Power & Market and the Ethics of Liberty just too radical and off-putting? Professor Patrick Newman considers critics like Arthur Burns, Kirzner, Leland Yeager, Nozick, Mario Rizzo, Selgin/White, Jason Brennan, Bryan Caplan, and of course Mises. If you like Rothbard you don't want to miss this show! Additional Resources In Defense of "Extreme Apriorism" by Murray Rothbard Conceived in Liberty, Volume V coming October 25 Join us for a celebration of Mises and his work in Los Angeles October 25–27.
