Want to become more Stoic? Join us and other Stoics this October: Stoicism Applied by Caleb Ontiveros and Michael Tremblay on MavenIn this conversation Caleb speaks with Will Johncock, the philosopher, sociologist and author of Beyond the Individual: Stoic Philosophy on Community and Connection. Will's work highlights the deeply social aspect of Stoicism and offers an essential frame for thinking about our own lives, the lives of the people around us, and our world. Will reminds us that we share our nature with the world and people around us.

In the 1970s Moral Philosophy turned its attention to an ancient topic – but coined a new name to organize our thinking about it. That field, now known as “Moral Luck” constitutes a set of fascinating and important philosophical debates. Do we judge people by their intentions, for good or for ill, or by the results of those intentions? This has serious implications for both ethics and jurisprudence, and in civil society as well as within our own religious Tradition. Rabbi Dr. Michael J. Harris recently published “Resultant Moral Luck and Jewish Tradition” (TRADITION, Fall 2022), examining the many significant sources within rabbinic literature that can be brought to bear on this discussion. Harris is Senior Rabbi of the Hampstead Synagogue and Senior Research Fellow at the London School of Jewish Studies. The conversation delved into his essay and the philosophical, halakhic, and aggadic literature surrounding “Moral Luck,” but also discussed how he navigates his role as both community rabbi and academic scholar, as well as the state of philosophical inquiry and the liberal arts within contemporary Modern Orthodoxy.

In this episode, we talk with Aaron Rabinowitz of Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space about the paradoxes of moral luck, the problematic nature of our everyday notions of responsibility, and what good pedagogy looks like when you've agreed – as you must – that spontaneous, volitional free will is merely an illusion. We do some Kantian maneuvering, form provisional alliances, and all things considered have as good a time as is possible given our total lack of freedom.References:Thomas Nagel, “Moral Luck” Music: Vintage Memories by Schematist | schematist.bandcamp.com
On today's episode I'm joined, once again, by the dope af Aaron Rabinowitz. Aaron is a lecturer on philosophy at Rutgers University, host of the Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space podcasts, and currently working on his PhD in Education.

What role should luck play in our moral assessments? If a person intends to harm another but as luck would have it is not able to do so should we morally assess their action the same as if they had succeeded in harming another?

What does it mean to have luck? Good luck, or bad? Is luck something that only happens selectively, or is our entire existence a kind of luck that we've had zero control over? And if that's true - what does it mean for our society? What does it say about our educational system, our criminal justice system, and how we treat and empathize with each other? What does it mean for our world if all of us are exactly where we are due only to pure chance? Aaron Rabinowitz, host of the Embrace the Void podcast, grapples with the philosophical and moral implications of that hypothesis.Moral Luck, by Thomas NagelStanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Moral LuckEmbrace the Void - 186 Starmanning with Angel Eduardo Pt. 1Embrace the Void - 183 Moderate Conservatism with Stephen Dause21: Securing Rights, with Samuel Weiss - The New LiberalsThe Tyranny of Merit: What's Become of the Common Good? by Michael SandelEmbrace the Void - 044 Moral LuckEthical Realism in a Universe Without Free Will, featuring Aaron Rabinowitz - Skeptics in the Pub7: Canceling Categories, with Angel Eduardo - The New LiberalsEvery Rubin Report Ever - FreedomToons36 Arguments for the Existence of God, by Rebecca Newberger GoldsteinPhilosophers in Space@ETVPod----------Email: newliberalspodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @NewLiberalsPod
Is it ok to laugh at The Cosby Show? To rock to “Rock With You”? To eat with the knife that was used to murder your family? Does bad luck make you a bad person? It may seem reasonable to separate the art from the artist and the instrument from the act, but Paul says that’s not how our brains work. He thinks human morality is driven by inconsistent irrational emotions and he think that’s a good thing. In our second Thought Lab, we talk about bad celebrities, haunted knives and moral luck.Paul Sagar "Tainted by Association" in Aeon.

Here's pt. 2 to our conversation on the concept of moral luck and how we have more control than we realize!
Francis, Caitlin, Anya, and Alan debate about who exactly is The Scholar, does theology enter into science, and is Mrs Coulter out of Lord Boreal's league? Buckle up your monkeys for a lesson in spiders, snakes, and the Spanish Inquisition.Devon, England is certainly a place… with cottages…Spiders have a body part named Pedipalps which are usually different sizes depending on the sex.Nephila genus of spiders can be large and are known for creating complicated webs.The Holy Inquisitions were a series of police actions within the Catholic Church to maintain doctrinal integrity.Calvin's Geneva Consistory was a real bummer.The Character of Consciousness is a thing.David Chalmers NP-Hardness is also a thing.Panpsychism is a somewhat fringe philosophical concept that is popular again thanks to a combination of ignorance and a poor understanding of quantum field theory.The Gnostic Eden Story is a little different from Sunday School.Moral Luck may or may not be a thingOur theme song is Clockwork Conundrum by NathanGunnFollow us on Twitter: Anya @StrangelyLiterl Cailtlin @inferiorcaitlin Francis @franciswindram The Podcast @MoTPodPlease email us contact@hallowedgroundmedia.com

On today's podcast, Amanda Knox interviews Jody Armour, USC law professor and one one of America's foremost scholars on social justice as well as Hip Hop culture and the law. He has written extensively on racial profiling, police brutality, and mass incarceration. In his new book, he examines the punitive impulse and retributive urge that runs so strong and deep in most Americans, and suggests that taming it will take a revolution in consciousness.
Oh hey, you look keen for some decent fan service mixed with cribbing from Dune. Perfect for CBS's business model. We're covering Picard, which is decent, and how it gives away that Star Trek is just the precursor to Dune. Picard has your Butlerian Jihad, your incompetent intergalatic federation, your weird biotech. All the makings of a solid Dune Prequel. I'm sure we'll find out the Romulan kid is a Paul Atreides Precursor sometime in season three. In the meantime, enjoy our discussion of the question "what if we just didn't AI?"

Imagine two possible worlds. In the first world, Andrew is driving home from an intimate dinner party with Olly and Jack. He has been enjoying a range of delicious cheeses and wines, despite being the designated driver. With the exception of Andrew’s singing, the drive is uneventful, and the party arrives home, safe and sound. In the second world, the same initial conditions apply. Andrew has enjoyed a plethora of gastronomic delights, and finds himself behind the wheel, singing without reservation. Driving through the familiar country roads, where sadly it has been known for deer to meet the paths of oncoming traffic, Andrew sees an unknown shape ahead. Too slow to react, the car strikes the figure, and Andrew feels the crunch of the object beneath his wheels. The following morning, Andrew switches on Radio 4: ‘Police are requesting any information the public might have relating to a hit and run on Country Road yesterday evening, where a 6-year-old boy unfortunately lost his life. Anybody with information relating to the event, believed to have occurred in the hours in which one could be expected to be travelling home from an intimate dinner party, should contact their local police station immediately’. Andrew realises that it was not a deer he hit with his car, and turns himself in to the police station. For Bernard Williams and Thomas Nagel, this is a classic case of moral luck. In both possible worlds, Andrew’s actions and intentions were the same. In the first, Andrew wakes up and continues with his life. In the second, we expect him to face up to fourteen years in prison. Our question: should we judge Andrew’s moral character any more harshly in the second case than the first - do they not deserve the same punishment? Contents Part I. Bernard Williams Part II.

In this Slate Plus segment, Barry is joined by Sarah Lustbader to discuss the issues raised in Episode 1: Criminal Minds. Sarah expresses skepticism about the significance of mens rea in ordinary prosecution of street crimes, Barry uses the opportunity to discuss the issue of moral luck as an explanation of why egregiousness of outcome seems to be the driving factor for prosecution rather than mens rea. The two end with a discussion of why the deontological/consequentialist distinction is so difficult to figure out for reform-minded advocates.

What a wild time to celebrate our 100th episode. At least we're celebrating it talking about something of great value, World War Z's portrayal of the loss of humanity from doing the right thing. I hope it helps to think about how we're all experiencing the grind and that's what makes us humans.

Moving with the kind of speed you'd have hoped to see in our federal government, we have pivoted away from our Culture coverage (don't worry it's just bumped down the timeline a bit) to current events with Max Brooks's epic masterpiece World War Z. Easily one of the best works of horror fiction around. For part one, we talk through the consequentialist arguments in the first half, while marveling at all the disturbing similarities to the daily news. Part two is gonna cover the loss of humanity side of the book, so buckle up.

Last episode, Thomas complained that I never take him to any nice utopias, so here we are! The Culture, the closest any sci-fi I've ever read got to anything that sounded like a good outcome, besides maybe Um-Helat. I'm told all of Ian Banks's books are fabulous, but we start with a really easy and satisfying intro to the Culture world, The Player of Games. In part one we cover the Culture society and whether it counts as an AI Utopia and what the potential costs are for living in such a society. Part two will cover the contrasting Empire of Azad and the various kinds of essentialism at its core.

::blows the conch shell of fan service:: In the spirt of social cohesion, we provide you with a triple dose of fan service. We present The Society, a much requested A- tweets in a bottle series, and we explain how it perfectly encapsulates the war of bro against bro that would arise in the absence of the social contract. To sweeten the deal, we even throw in some prisoners dilemmas and stag hunts to help understand why the state of nature is just the worst.

My usual urge to be snarky here is tempered by concern that we're already about to get teabagged into some hot water for our treatment of the good Dr. Who. Please forgive us our Yankness, and maybe consider a more moderate position for your media output, somewhere between 6 episodes a show and 6,000. Feels like there's room for some middle ground there. Oh right, enough meta banter, we watched Dr. Who season 2 episode 4 of the rebooted version, so the one with David Tennant. We discuss how the story is a classic case of misaligned AI and recommend several ways to better tune your AI so they don't cronenberg your ship. Enjoy!

An excerpt from Rorschach's rebooted journal: Viewers are afraid of HBO, for it has seen their true faces. The shows are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and boobies and when the drains finally scab over, all the bingers will drown. The accumulated filth of high budget, high concept sex and murder will foam up about their waists, and all the millennials and the boomers who's log ins they use will look up and shout "can't you make less compelling content", and HBO will look down and whisper "no." We're doing the first episode of Watchmen (with some minor references to the second episode)! The HBO version for the main show, and the movie version for NASA this month, so definitely get on that if you want to here Thomas complain about three hours of Zach Snyder.

It all started with a box... We're doing primer! Y'all asked, and we finally looped enough times to find the timeline where we deliver! You get to hear Thomas explain the 60% of the plot he was able to follow and then we haggle a bunch over the nature of time travel as per usual before settling in to argue if it's wrong to do what they do in the movie, whatever that is.

MORAL LUCK A Conversation With ETV's Aaron Rabinowitz by Toby Buckle
In this episode of Functional Philosophy, I answer the following questions: 00:38 - "Why do we enjoy arbitrary things? By this for example I mean that I enjoy building and painting plastic figures. I understand that things like food please us physically because they are required for survival and that solving certain problems can please us mentally as that is also required for survival. In building plastic miniatures I am however in no way contributing to my life or odds of survival other than by the fact that I enjoy it. Isn't this completly irrational? What dictates our mental wants? Why do I want to be a teacher? I can tell you the reason I enjoy it, I can however not tell you why those reasons are more enjoyable to me than the reasons I like something else for and why I chose teaching as my job rather than something else that I enjoy less but still enjoy. The only reason I can off the top of my head come up with is a determinist one and that is propably not very objectivist." 06:35 - "Why is libel (or indirect force in general) force?" 13:07 - Moral luck *** Functional Philosophy is the weekly Q&A podcast that helps you gain and strengthen the philosophical foundations required to achieve certainty, success, and happiness.

Well, the cats out of the bag now. Everyone knows this is really The Bad Show. You'd think all the bickering between Thomas and I would have given it away sooner, but it's a relief to have it out in the open. Kidding! Everything is great! We're doing season two of The Good Place, a show we both think is great, and we're talking about Moral Luck, something you will all soon think is great!

In this episode Zhang Yiming and I interview Fiery Cushman, an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, on the logic of Moral Luck. For more on this topic see: Philosophy and Science of Mind Encyclopedia Entry (English) Philosophy and Science of Mind Encyclopedia Entry (Chinese)
Today we dive deep into a topic we (mostly Aaron) constantly reference: Moral Luck. We start with the root of the concept from Thomas Nagel's Moral Luck. We then dive into the factors that contribute to it, how it affects all aspects of our existence, and what a world might look like where Free Will as a concept is eliminated.Opening InvocationJordan Peterson's BeatitudesHero of the WeekYanni, or maybe Laurel
If humans have no free will, can we assign praise or blame? Is it reasonable to condemn someone as immoral in a deterministic universe? We explore the concept of moral responsibility in a naturalistic world and distinguish between causal and moral responsibility. We also examine the problem of moral luck, which makes a case for … Continue reading CA18 Moral Luck and Responsibility (Free Will pt. II) →
David and Tamler dip back into the Thomas Nagel well, and discuss the problem of "moral luck." Why do we blame drunk drivers who hit someone more than drunk drivers who make it home OK? Why do we judge people for things that are beyond their control (when we have strong intuitions that uncontrollable acts don't deserve blame)? Does moral luck ultimately swallow all of our behavior? Can we truly embrace the view that "actions are events and people are things" or are we stuck with another unsolvable clash of competing perspectives (just like the problem of absurdity)? Plus, Dave exposes himself on the Partially Examined Life, Tamler self-censors, and somehow we discuss Hollywood harassment and stand-up comedy without mentioning Louis CK. (But only because we recorded this episode about five hours before the NY Times story broke.)
Motherhood and Moral Luck - Professor Sheri Tuttle Ross gives a definition of moral luck, and speaks about the notion of taking responsibility in connection to children and also “grey zones”.
The video mentioned in the podcast is https://youtu.be/DpDSPVv8lUE
How big of a role does luck play in our moral lives? Are we still to blame if certain factors are out of our control? How much are you allowed to drink at Dave & Busters? That last question might be unrelated. But that won't stop Connor and Dan from discussing it on this week's episode all about Moral Luck. Also discussed: the total dick move of drunk driving, and Connor's continued success with temporary sobriety.
David and Tamler talk about the perils of trying to step outside of your own perspective in ethics, science, and politics. What do Rawls' "original position" thought experiment, Pascal's Wager, and Moral Foundations Theory have in common? (Hint: it involves baking.) Plus, what movies (and other things) would serve as a litmus test when deciding on a potential life partner? What might liking or not liking a certain film, book, or TV series tell you about a person, and whether or not the relationship would work? And what sexual position is it rational to choose under the veil of ignorance?

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/moral-luck. It seems reasonable to believe that we can only be blamed or praised for actions that are under our control. Nevertheless, in many concrete scenarios, we're inclined to base our moral assessment of people on circumstances that are ultimately beyond their control. Blind chance, or “moral luck,” as philosophers call it, may determine the difference between, say, murder and attempted murder. But do we think that a would-be murderer whose attempts are foiled by chance is really less morally culpable than someone who happens to succeed? How should moral luck affect our judgments of responsibility? John and Ken welcome back Susan Wolf from UNC Chapel Hill, author of "Meaning in Life and Why It Matters."

Should morality be immune from luck? It seems so. Yet outcomes beyond participants' control seem to affect our judgements of culpability. Fiery Cushman, a psychologist in the area of experimental philosophy (x-phi), has been investigating the phenomenon of moral luck and our apparently conflicting judgements about culpability and luck. In this interview with Nigel Warburton for the podcast Philosophy Bites he discusses his research on conflicting moral intuitions about outcomes, intentions, wrongness, culpabiity and punishment. Philosophy Bites is made in association with the Institute of Philosophy.
