Is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) ethical? Is there a pro-life way to practice IVF, or should it be entirely out of bounds for Christians (and others)? Dr. Scott Rae is one of the leading Christian ethicists today, he is the author of Moral Choices, and my co-host for the Think Biblically podcast. He makes the case for an ethical way of practicing IVF, and I push back. We certainly don't settle the issue, but invite you to consider what is at stake in the practice.

What types of governments can we use to make interesting stories and what sorts of political intrigue can we have with them? I try to answer these questions and more. Leave us an email for feedback, questions, or thoughts at levelupyourgamingpodcast@gmail.comor Follow us on Facebook and engage with us at https://www.facebook.com/LevelUpYourGamingPlease leave us a review or a five star rating wherever you get your podcast.

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel -  Mt 13:44-46 - Jesus said to His disciples: "The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it."

Carol Tavris - Mistakes Were Made But Not By Me   The Psychology of Self-Justification with Carol Tavris   In this episode, Aidan McCullen interviews Carol Tavris, co-author of 'Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me),' to explore the intricacies of cognitive dissonance, self-justification, and memory. They investigate why humans find it difficult to admit mistakes, even in the presence of irrefutable evidence. Through numerous case studies and real-world examples, they discuss the implications of these psychological mechanisms in areas as varied as personal life, law enforcement, and political decision-making. The conversation tackles how these insights can apply to everyone from parents and judges to business leaders and law enforcement, emphasizing the significance of humility, critical thinking, and the human tendency to rewrite personal histories to fit current beliefs. 00:00 Introduction to Self-Justification 01:14 Welcoming the Author: Carol Tavris 02:17 The Premise of the Book 03:06 Understanding Cognitive Dissonance 08:44 Memory and Self-Justification 14:43 Confabulations and False Memories 23:02 The Pyramid of Choice 32:42 Law Enforcement and Wrongful Convictions 37:58 The Importance of Correcting Interrogation Methods 38:33 The Impact of Miscarriages of Justice 38:55 Examples of Recognizing Mistakes 39:52 The 1980s and 90s Hysteria Over Child Abuse 40:21 The McMartin Daycare Scandal 41:06 Flawed Child Interrogation Techniques 42:58 A Case of Misunderstanding: Daddy's Pee Pee 44:53 The Emotional Toll of False Convictions 47:39 The Pyramid of Entrapment and Justification 48:48 The Influence of Bias in Decision Making 50:32 The Role of Pharmaceutical Companies in Medicine 52:06 Moral Choices and Life Decisions 54:55 Understanding and Living with Cognitive Dissonance 01:03:17 The Power of Admitting Mistakes 01:06:58 The Allure of Victim Narratives 01:08:40 Alien Abductions and Hypnagogic States 01:14:17 The Importance of Understanding Human Frailties   Find Carol here:    That Sarah Silverman interview:    Carol's books:    psychology, cognitive dissonance, self-justification, memory, mistakes, humility, ethics, law enforcement, interrogation, wrongful convictions, trauma, alien abductions, confirmation bias, leadership, decision making, self-concept, Carol Tavris (author), Aidan McCullen (host), Elliot Aronson (co-author), Leon Festinger (researcher on cognitive dissonance), James Thurber (author of The Wonderful O), Richard Feynman (scientist and quote source), Mary Carr (memoirist), Joseph Allen (wrongfully convicted), Ronald Reagan (Bitburg cemetery incident), Shimon Peres (comment on Reagan's mistake), Sarah Silverman (Louis C.K. controversy), Louis C.K.

The tech world focuses heavily on the “succeed fast or fail fast” model of tech growth. In part this is as VC firms generally have limited life funds and hence cannot handle slower models but is also as the tech press loves the hype/condemn cycle implicit in this. However generally most businesses do not follow this model. Whilst rapid success comes to a few, for more it takes rather longer and for many its a slow rocky path. After all hottie OpenAI (ClosedAI?) took quite some years to make a noticeable splash. Ruzbeh founded City Falcon a decade ago and whilst, like us all, preferred rapid success, he has moved into the more marathon development model of the business. I was particularly enamoured of his very human/ethical perspective and clarity of the social costs of the “succeed or fail fast” model – namely that it comes at the price of burning your friends and family and employees just so that you can get onto your next gig as fast as possible. With a huge desire worldwide to move on from all business being dominated by neoliberalism – you know, the “humans qua just another resource model” (with some virtue signalling perhaps as perfume to cover the heartlessness of seeing people as resources) – this is a good time to dive into the slower model. This slower model is definitely no picnic – the longer you hang out in business or in life the more tsunamis you will have to face. Topics discussed include: Malta as a tech scene with incentives to attract talent Malta Enterprise & Start in Malta the competition not just for digital nomads but digital business and entrepreneurs in general why Ruzbeh chose to move the business to Malta 300 days of sunshine every year Ruzbeh's career journey through Tech into Fintech Ruzbeh's original intention re the business re timescale pivoting from B2C to B2B and B2B2C “There's no point failing if we have built all this value and have customers coming to us” Strategic investors eg EToro 48 staff today what led Ruzbeh to move on from the failing fast model “Why do I need to fail?” When is it I should fail?” the challenge of clients asking for more versus being clearer on their needs/desires the criticality of cashflow/raises for the slower model of growth importance of aim… to eg raise $300m to become a unicorn or to get to cashflow positive raised $5m over 10 years HT to Seedrs Case Study in mining of dislocation being ever more likely the longer one is carrying on and need to react to massive changes in business environment Two Case Studies for City Falcon of dislocation due to market changes/dislocations is success how much you get when you exit or providing a supportive environment for employees who are loyal, hardworking and delivering or some combination? prioritising people over money as a founder whilst ensuring a profitable firm the pre-neoliberal English model of sacrificing annual p0rofits before you sack people compared to the modern “HR” model of Profits Uber Alles desire to hire people who play sports as a proxy of finding people with grit the many decision points to quit or carry on the importance of being lean but also having staff buy-in to the economics of the business caring in business and especially Family businesses the relevance of the stage of the Fintech consolidation shoutouts of City Falcon their interesting latest product Dynamic Company Sector Classification which uses automation to dynamically classify sectors for companies thus eg no longer “just” Mining sector or FS Sector but Generative AI subsector how this is done And much much more

Today's thought-provoking new episode may challenge the way you think about judgment and body image. Host Heather Creekmore delves into the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7, exploring how our tendency to judge others based on their bodies might not align with biblical principles. Heather emphasizes the impact of the judgments we make about others on our own body image struggles and the importance of recognizing our own idols of the heart as part of the impetus for judging others. Heather even tackles the topic of Dolly Parton's attention-getting half-time show performance on Thanksgiving, when she appeared in a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader uniform. Should we judge Dolly? Or, should we simply say, "You do you, boo?" Or, is there another answer the Bible prescribes? Heather goes through Matthew 7, the Bible's most famous judging verses, and talks about what it means to judge others, and explains the Bible's very clear prescription on parameters around how we should judge. Heather examines the challenges of judging people's bodies by their size or appearance, shedding light on the dangers of complementing weight loss and the complexities of body size and health. Heather also talks about how our quickness to judge may reflect more work that needs to be done in our own hearts around the topic of body image. Heather explains, "Until I'm able to stop idolizing the woman that has the body size that I think would make me happy, until I'm able to stop judging others by their bodies and, really, therefore, objectifying them, it's really hard for me to break free from my own body image issues."

We are regularly faced with hundreds of moral choices. Often, we do not even think about the choice we have made. Perhaps we made the choice because of tradition, culture, or even religious preferences. But, did you ever stop to wonder if the decision was actually moral from God’s point of view?

In this week’s podcast, Jenna explores why G-d brought the flood and wiped out most of life so soon after He created it. In answering this question, she shares a bit about her background as an environmentalist and how her thinking about our relationship to the environment changed when she became an observant Jew. Although sometimes it may feel like we are just watching the world fall apart and there’s not much we can do about it, Noah's flood teaches us that we have so much power to elevate and sustain the world.

Shaykh Faraz Rabbani begins with a counsel on returning anything unclear to the Quran, sunna, and the religious manners—scholars’ applications of the Quran and sunna to particular life circumstances. He shows that this clear religious guidance is the basis of Islamic spirituality, and that religious literacy is needed to make moral judgments. This requires grounding […] The post 191-The Rawha- Guidance for Seekers- Making Moral Choices – Shaykh Faraz Rabbani appeared first on SeekersGuidance.

Summary:20 years a dedicated vegan ... invested morally, nutritionally, and politically into this lifestyle ... then a monumental shift back to an omnivorous life to try and rescue her failing health! Lierre Keith then wrote a book about this change and discussed the flaws, from her perspective, on the underlying principles of vegetarianism and veganism. The praise for her book was clear to see, but so was the kickback! Online criticism, attack on character, and even death threats followed from those who disagreed!

My guest experts and I discuss how moral choices in video games are different from other media and what makes them so difficult. We also discuss some of our favorite and most compelling choices from games.

Winston Churchill once said, "The flame of Christian ethics is still our highest guide." But are Christian ethics really guiding the United States today? And how do we apply the Bible to today's moral dilemmas? Dr. Scott Rae, professor of Christian Ethics at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, joins me to discuss his book, "Moral Choices: An Introduction to Ethics." That's next time on Friday's JANET MEFFERD TODAY.

In this episode, Sean interviews Scott about the latest update to his classic book Moral Choices. Scott reflects on how ethical issues have changed over the past few decades, some areas where he has refined his thinking, and offers some insights on pressing moral issues today such as climate change and euthanasia.

If someone on the other side of the world uses a different type of spoon to eat their soup than you do, chances are it’s not going to bother you.  But if they engaged in practices that hurt women and children, it would.  What is the difference?  It turns out that choices that we see […] The post Ep 49: Ice Cream and Nazis: The Origin of Moral Choices – with guest Dr. P.

The Original Series Season 1 - Essential Trek Philosophy.   The entire Star Trek franchise, with over 700 television episodes and 13 feature films (to date), owes its existence to the strength of season 1 of Star Trek: The Original Series. If season 1 hadn't been as strong as it was, we wouldn't have the Star Trek franchise we know and love today. Season 1 of The Original Series isn't just strong dramatically, however. It is also strong philosophically, episode by episode exploring abstract ideas, future human potential, and the human condition.   In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling go back to where it all began in a discussion of their top picks for Essential Trek Philosophy from season 1 of Star Trek: The Original Series. Join Mike and Zachary as they discuss the four dominant philosophical themes in the premiere season of Star Trek: ethical and moral dilemmas, transhumanism and future human potential, the internal struggle of conflicting human natures, and the ethics of war.   Chapters  Intro (00:01:19)  Initial Thoughts on TOS Season One (00:01:58)  The Four Main Philosophical Themes (00:10:26)  Moral Choices and Ethical Conundrums (00:14:54)  The City on the Edge of Forever (00:15:07)  Transhumanism (00:21:13)  The Cage (00:22:24)  Arena (00:26:28)  Errand of Mercy (00:28:11)  The Return of the Archons (00:33:39)  Space Seed (00:37:47)  Where No Man Has Gone Before (00:39:52)  Charlie X/The Squire of Gothos (00:40:30)  What Are Little Girls Made Of?

We're talking morality. Paragons, renegades, sith, jedi, and everything in between. Matt thinks the decision to reprogram the Geth in Mass Effect 2 is full of complexity. Brendan prefers the moral drudgery of being an Arstotzkan border guard in Papers, Please. Whereas John enjoys being bad in Knights of the Old Republic. We also play a game in which John and Matt are put through the confessionals of Catherine. Who is "Lawful" and who is "Chaotic"? Thanks to Tom Frederick for suggesting the topic of 'morality'!

In this lecture, I will present and review developments in moral psychology over the last two decades. https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-right-stuff-how-do-we-make-moral-choicesSpecifically, I will explore the neuroscience of moral decision-making, and the implications of this research for ethical issues such as moral responsibility. I will particularly focus on the capacity to make unwise decisions that are unpopular with others; and the question of whether values can be taken out of the research into moral choice-making. I will conclude by asking further questions about the implications of this work for training in medical ethics. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-right-stuff-how-do-we-make-moral-choicesGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Bioshock is one of the most critically lauded games of all time. Released in 2007, today it still holds a place in Metacritic’s top 25 games ever. The game’s story, all about an underwater city that fell victim to a mix of Objectivist thinking and superpowers, is still largely hailed as an unusually mature experience […]

On this edition of The Virtual Bible Study we discussed various false standards many are using to make decisions regarding right and wrong. We also discussed why we should use the teachings of Jesus and the apostles in our decision making.

In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, recorded on April 26, 2012, producer and host George Ortega explains how an investigation into why we make the moral choices we do demonstrates that such decisions are actually made by factors outside of our control....This item has files of the following types: Archive BitTorrent, Item Tile, Metadata, Ogg Vorbis, PNG, VBR MP3

Amanda finishes a three-part series on how world religions and Ethical Culture answer key questions of faith and practice. She'll consider how we make moral choices: where we draw authority from, how we know we're doing the right thing, and how we choose among multiple "right" things.

Today's interview is (part one of two) with R. Scott Smith, Associate Professor of Ethics and Christian Apologetics at Biola University. He talks about his background and influences in ethics (J.P. Moreland, Dallas Willard), his opinion on the moral argument, the idea of naturalism grounding morality, the benefits of understanding ethical theory, and his recommended books on morality: Moral Choices by Scott Rae and Relativism by Koukl and Beckwith. Scott's own published works include Virtue Ethics and Moral Knowledge: Philosophy of Language after MacIntyre and Hauerwas and Truth and the New Kind of Christian: The Emerging Effects of Postmodernism in the Church. Scott also mentions the article "Knowledge & Naturalism" by Dallas Willard as well as J.P. Moreland's book Scaling the Secular City. Enjoy.
