Podcasts about lawful neutral

Bryan Caplan is a professor of economics at George Mason University and the author of several books, including Open Borders - The Science and Ethics of Immigration, The Case Against Education and the Myth of the Rational Voter.Bryan is one of the most iconoclastic contemporary thinkers, and had a major influence on the themes of this podcast. His books explain much of the emergent incentives created by the political process that stymie economic growth.In this episode, we talk about his new book "Voters as Mad Scientists - Essays on Political Rationality" and use it as a starter to talk about a variety of topics:Bryan on how the alignment of "Chaotic Good" in the world of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fits his non-conformist style of thinking and practice of breaking bad or unethical laws, as long as you can get away with itWhy voters love to hate business and how the Stockholm Syndrome can help explain it: people like to ally with the powerful, even if they're rich, against rich people or business with less or no political power to hurt themThe politics of what sounds good vs. what is good - explained by social desirability bias, exposed by revealed preferences ("actions speak louder than words") and cemented into practice by status quo biasBryan admits that he's been wrong about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin: F. A. Hayek's idea of de-nationalizing banking has won the day against all oddsIf you're a regular listener to this podcast, you'll chuckle when Bryan compares how someone telling him about Bitcoin for the first time with someone telling him about starting a new country on an island (Prospera is not literally a country though).If starting a new jurisdiction with better laws sounds like a crazy but great idea to you, and your D&D alignment is Lawful-Neutral, Neutral-Good or Chaotic-Good, then come check it out and help us build it - the schedule for coming events is here.

Swift fan organizing gets the goods! Dungeons & Dragons planned to change how independent content creators could monetize their D&D-related work, but backlash caused the Hasbro-owned company to change the controversial plan.

The Bible compares a virtuous woman to be more valuable than rubies and today we look at what a ruby is. For our Arts-n-Crafts time we talk about making synthetic rubies and other gems. We examine the homeschool style "Lawful Neutral." And finish our interview with Sharon and Lori about their book, Surviving Widowhood: 40 Devotions of Hope.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: IMPCO, don't injure yourself by returning FTXFF money for services you already provided, published by EliezerYudkowsky on November 12, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. In my possibly contrarian opinion, and speaking as somebody who I don't think actually got any money directly from FTX Future Fund that I can recall; also speaking for myself and hastily, having not run this post past any other major leaders in EA: You are not obligated to return funding that got to you ultimately by way of FTX; especially if it's been given for a service you already rendered, any more than the electrical utility ought to return FTX's money that's already been spent on electricity; especially if that would put you to hardship. This is not a for-the-greater-good argument; I don't think you're obligated to that much personal martyrdom in the first place, just like the utility company isn't so obligated. It's fine to be somebody who sells utilons for money, just like utilities sell electricity for money. People who work in the philanthropic sector, and don't capture all of the gain they create, do not thereby relinquish the solidity of their claim to the part of that gain they do capture, to below the levels of an electrical utility's claim to similar money. The money you hold could maybe possibly compensate some FTX users - if it doesn't just get immediately captured by users selling NFTs to Bahamian accounts, or the equivalent in later bankruptcy proceedings - but that's equally true of the electrical utility's money, or, heck, money held by any number of people richer than you. Plumbers who worked on the FTX building should likewise not anguish about that and give the money back; yes, even though plumbers are probably well above average in income for the Bahamas. You are not more deeply implicit in FTX's sins, by way of the FTX FF connection, than the plumber who worked directly on their building. I don't like the way that some people think about charity, like anybody who works in the philanthropic sector gives up the right to really own anything. You can try to do a little good in the world, or even sell a little good into the world, without signing up to be the martyr who gets all the blame for not being better when something goes wrong. You probably forwent some of your possible gains to work in the charity sector at all, and took a bit of a generally riskier job. (If you didn't know that, my condolences.) You may suddenly need to look for a new job. You did not sign away your legal or moral right to keep title to money that was already given you, if you've already performed the corresponding service, or you're still going to perform that service. If you can't perform the service anymore, then maybe return some of that money once it's clear that it'll actually make its way to FTX customers; but keep what covers the cost of a month to re-search for a job, or the month you already spent searching for that job. It's fine to call it your charity and your contribution that you undercharge for those utilons and don't capture as much value as you create - if you're nice enough to do that, which you don't have to be, you can be Lawful Neutral instead of Lawful Good and I won't think you're as cool but I'll still happily trade with you. (I apologize for resorting to the D&D alignment chart, at this point, but I really am not sure how to compactly express these ideas without those concepts, or concepts that I could define more elaborately that would mean the same thing.) That you're trying to be some degree of Good, by undercharging for the utilons you provide, doesn't mean you can't still hold that money that you got in Lawful Neutral exchange for the services you sold. Just like any ordinary plumber is entitled to do, if it turned out they unwittingly fixed the toilet of a bad bad pers...

Liberalism’s presumption of an underlying universality (binary biological sex, for example, or “post-racial color-blindness”) makes the unruly, messy data of human life appear tractable and computable for algorithmic procedures. And increasingly comprehensive algorithmic systems in turn render life in the flattening image of proceduralist liberalism. In a sense, liberalism and artificial intelligence are converging.  Read more essays on living with technology at reallifemag.com and follow us on Twitter @_reallifemag.

Merry Christmas from Geek at Arms! In this episode we welcome Bex from the Redeemed Otaku Podcast! As is customary with our guests Bex starts off Geek Out by describing the highs (and lows) of playing Word of Warcraft Classic. She also tunes us in to her current favorite anime's: Land of the Lustrous and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Next Bryan shares his experience playing a Lawful Neutral character in a recent D&D game and his thoughts on the deep, but disturbing, movie Joker. James also shares his a recent gaming experience where he played a dwarf in a friends one-shot campaign and also how much he and his wife enjoyed the recent film Ford v Ferrari. Mike keeps the racing theme going by describing how his family has come together in triumph to defeat difficult levels on Mario Kart 8. Mike also head's a discussion on the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the divisiveness in the fanbase and how toxic fandom had risen as a result. Finally, Bex and the guys take a look at the works of Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki. They explore the characters and themes found within them and which of these animated classics are their favorites.  

  This is the corrected version of 167. The first version ran the main episode audio into the outro due to an editing mistake on my part. My apologies. -PeterWe're back with episode 2 of our alignments series, this time talking about Lawful Neutral.   We start off with the story of some adorable kittens in Grant's home, check in about Thanksgiving, and then get into some gaming chat. Peter's game is going well and starting to get active on a big picture level, Grant's vampire game has made the move to Powered by the Dark, and the "hosts and friends" gaming group will be doing a published adventure for the first time ever! Grant has picked up Princes of the Apocalypse and will be running it for us.   Our Patreon question comes from Aaron Arnold (who is one of Peter's players, despite his uncertainty about last names in the episode!) who asks " Have you roleplayed in a game that wasn't D&D? I ask because I played a cyberpunk noir game and I enjoyed the RP I got to create in it." We had a lot to say by way of answering that question; all of us have been regular game convention attendees at various points in our lives and it prompted some reminiscence and few recommendations.   With that discussion concluded, we move into scripture and then onto our main topic: Lawful Neutral, or, as Grant so aptly put it: the obstacle alignment. We're a bit less ranty than last time, but it's still a productive discussion.   Scripture: Deuteronomy 4:5-8, Mark 2: 23-28, John 8: 1-11  

For the next three episodes, we will be going through most well-known Batman film series, The Dark Knight Trilogy, written and Directed by Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan, and David S. Goyer. Our first of the three is on Batman Begins (2005), the origin story that contributed to the relaunch of superhero films and revived the Batman film popularity by focusing on a more darker and realistic tone. Our topics include 1) Existentialism and Fear, 2) Lawful Good vs. Lawful Neutral, and 3) the Dualism between Bruce Wayne and Batman.  -- Twitter: @tvtreypodcast Facebook: @tvtreypodcast Instagram: @tvtreypodcast

Lawful Neutral. The tea cannot be unspilled. Things get judgey.

Hosts I-Hsien and Shane continue the alignment series with an outlook that pursues order, unfettered by considerations of morality. In the Dynasty Unwarranted campaign, the Rogue Traders discover a whole new world, a deadly place they never knew, and the Hardhead keeps the peace on the streets of Sigil in the Character Creation Forge.

Politics talk morphs into religion talk PRETTY quickly in this one, and we really never shovel ourselves back out, so buckle up, folks. Cameron is unconvinced that everyone believes in societal progress. Brock wants to balance without equivocating. Now's as good a time as any to emphasize that we're doing our best off the cuff here to have sincere conversations about difficult topics, so maybe use TWO buckles and LET'S GET READY TO RAMMBBBBBLLLLEEE(After this one, I'm positing Cameron is some sort of Chaotic Good situation, and Brock is Lawful Neutral.)

He has taken you to Heaven and he has taken you to Hell. Next stop: Nirvana! No, not the popular grunge band from the 90s, but rather the place where Lawful Neutral souls reside in the AD&D multiverse. Al discusses the version of Nirvana from the first edition Manual of the Planes. We'll also take a look at how it is similar to and different from the Buddhist belief that this plane gets its name from.

Is Teej a Lawful Neutral, Chaotic Good, or ...? We talk alignment, Devin "literally" getting all he wants, TOKENGATE, and naked bodies, all with a special guest (who you can follow on IG @jthtjth).
