Can we live a good life in a world where animals are factory farmed? Guest host Dylan Matthews talks with the world-famous ethicist Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation Now, the newly revised edition of his movement-founding 1979 work. They talk about the progress made by the animal rights movement — and the issues it still faces. Dylan also questions Singer on other aspects of his career as an outspoken popularizer of philosophy and ethics, including his positions on physician-assisted dying, abortion rights, and effective altruism.

We asked a provocative question in our show this week: Should Solo be the first Star Wars movie a brand-new fan watches? There aren't any Jedi in Solo—or even any Force users—but it's a Star Wars story that shows a very familiar (and very fun!) side of the galaxy. Star Wars isn't just about galactic duels between good and evil. It's also about space heists, found family, and pushing the limits of what you think is possible. Also, spanking good costumes. Solo has it all. Join us for discussions into all the major characters, morality, rebellions, and powerful Star Wars women. (We're looking at you, Qi'ra, L3, and Enfys Nest.) Join us next week for the pilot episode of Kenobi! We're reviewing Obi-Wan Kenobi, Part 1 with Kathleen Wass from The FSF Popcast as our special guest.

“The pure coal plays are trading at a huge, huge discount to inherent values. The price to earnings tends to be about 1.5 to 2 for these companies, which means you are getting as much as 50% of the share price in cash and after-tax earnings every year” explains analyst Jayant Bhandari. In this interview Jayant gives his view on the mining sector's current M&A landscape, security of supply, geopolitical risk, cash allocation in a portfolio, his top picks and much more. Jayant Bhandari of Anarcho Capital, is constantly traveling the world to look for investment opportunities, particularly in the natural resource sector. He advises institutional investors about his finds. He was a Director on the board of Gold Canyon, a publicly-listed Canadian company, until its merger with another entity. Earlier, he worked for six years with US Global Investors (San Antonio, Texas), a boutique natural resource investment firm, and for one year with Casey Research. Before emigrating from India, he started and ran Indian subsidiary operations of two European companies.

Humans are spiritual beings but unfortunately, because we are so influenced by external factors, many of us have become disconnected from our spiritual selves. This results in people making life and career choices that do not align with their core values or purpose, which is causing a great deal of suffering. Today's inspiring guest, Joseph Holt, is on a mission to help people make work (and life) decisions that allow them to live their lives in a way that is true to their core values, ideals and beliefs. Joe has held an amazingly diverse range of jobs throughout the course of his life, from gym teacher to Jesuit priest to stock broker to corporate attorney, to today where he is living out his calling as a professor at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business teaching spirituality, ethics, gender equity, and negotiations courses. In this episode, Joe delves into the 7 Recommended Practices for Being Your Spiritual Best Self at Work that he has developed, which include: Set yourself up for spiritual success Determine whether you need to see your current work differently or do different work Be alert for opportunities to be your spiritual best self Choose your work (and life) friends wisely Be as committed to your spiritual well-being as you are to your physical well-being Monitor your spiritual progress (or regress!) with special attention to impact Listen most of all to the quiet inner voice that guides you at your best. Joe shares that “Morality is the public face of your spirituality,” so tune in today to hear how you can strengthen the link between these two vitally important facets of your life and take new, enlivening steps to find long-lasting meaning and fulfillment in your work. Key Highlights From This Episode: • Introducing Joseph (Joe) Holt, former Jesuit priest and current professor at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business. [02:36] • The most common regret that people have at the end of their lives and how you can avoid being one of those people. [05:33] • Questions to ask yourself to set yourself up for spiritual success in the workplace. [15:12] • The value of learning to be at peace with not knowing exactly what you want to do with your life. [18:42] • Examples of how you can change your approach to your work to make it more meaningful to you. [21:18] • How your workplace can provide you with opportunities to be the best version of yourself. [24:45] • Why the people you surround yourself with are an influential part of your personal spiritual journey. [28:43] • The transformative power of incorporating spiritual practices (however this speaks to you) into your daily life. [36:25] • An exercise to strengthen the link between your morality (the way you conduct yourself in the world) and your spirituality (your belief system). [40:29] • How to connect with your inner voice.

Livestream 15 May 2023A flash stream you say? Will you be doing the entire show topless, or are you just planning to lift your shirt up and down repeatedly the whole time?How do I know when it's time to call it quits in a marriage? I feel like I'm putting a tremendous amount of effort into it and she doesnt want to. What is the ethical line as to whether to stay or not? I would like to fix it, but if she can't let go of the past and reconnect, then what do you do? We made promises, but she is the first to threaten divorce. After days of Silence things cool and talk but it repeats. The kids are sick of it, too. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you Stefan!Hey Stef curious if you've heard of the University Jordan Peterson is starting to bring education costs way down while bringing quality and integrity back to the Institutions of Higher Education.? Was also wondering if you had interest in teaching philosphy in this new University of his… thank you, and thanks again for all you doHow was your mother's day?To avoid getting sucked into an irrational debate w my dad I hung up the phone. He leaves a voicemail saying if I don't call back that means I'm in ‘passive agreement.'Is The Present available to download as an audio file like your other books? I was having trouble finding the link if so.Im pleasently surprised how much I like the Character Ben in The Present. I love the book so far on Chapter 19.Thanks for the insights Stef, it is an amazing book. The win-lose mentality ties in very well with Lewis Staten.It makes sense you'd have to be atheist before determining morality of God since otherwise you wouldn't go into with a clean slate and instead your preconceived notions would bias your investigation and likely not end up w UPBI have quite the emotional experience every time I go to Church, Pray or read the Holy Bible. Desipte being an Atheist ( or at least I think I am an Atheist still ).Reminds me of Aristotle. :)He called theology the study of beings greater than man.What if the writers of the Bible knew a lot of what you do, but didn't have the terminology to describe it like we can today, so they had to put it in ancient terms.Atheism is theological stoicism, it removes emotion and passion which are essential parts of our being.You could believe in laws of physics but then by definition if God is omnipotent he could suspend the laws temporarily.I've had a belief for a long time that a lot of religions came out of misinterpreted dreams.

Today, we read CCC, 1730 - 1748 and discuss, once again, how human beings are made to know the truth and choose the good. The more that we use our rational intellect to know the truth, and the more that we use our free will to choose the good, the more free we become. Who doesn't love a free and happy life?!

Mellow greetings and salutations, citizen. We hope to inspire joy-joy feelings as you listen to our review of the barbaric and savage movie Demolition Man. John Spartan was falsely accused of the deaths of hostages during his takedown of the psychotic Simon Phoenix in 1996. Now it's 2032, and both men have been released from their cryo-prison to be unleashed on a society that isn't equipped to handle 90s levels of violence. Starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock. Watch the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B5v6QZ5R3g

Can we make ultimate moral judgements?Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesFor a couple of millenia in the West we have judged people and their actions by the standards of good and evil. But, from Mother Theresa to Winston Churchill the notion that an individual is simply good is hard to sustain. Almost all claim to be good. Even the Nazis believed they were on a moral crusade against the evils of corruption and deceit, managing to enlist the Catholic church in support. And, from the Crusades to 9/11, seeing oneself and one's cause as good has a habit of intensifying dispute and conflict.Should we conclude that dividing the world into good and bad is not just misguided but actually dangerous? Should we adopt a Roman approach to human qualities and actions where kindness and brutality could both be valued in the same one individual. Or is the distinction between good and bad essential to social well being, public order, and individual growth?Fearless thinker, Tommy Curry, esteemed philosopher, Massimo Pigliucci, and author of Zed, Joanna Kavenna, explore whether 'good' and 'evil' are just categories used for coercion.

Today, we read CCC, 1691 - 1729 and discuss how many people get stuck when it comes to the "rules" of Catholicism. Why does it seem like there are so many rules when it comes to the Catholic Church and one's relationship with God...? In reality, rules are simply the thing that helps us to achieve the real thing... the thing for which we're made and the thing to which it all points - a share in God's own blessed life... happiness!

The Six Trials of Jesus Luke chapter 20 records for us a point of history upon which the entire world turns. The trial, suffering and death of Jesus is simply the most important event in all of humankind. In this first message of a semi-regular series, Lenny explores the six different trials of Jesus of Nazareth and how it is the evil in the hearts of man that allowed them to condemn the only one who walked the earth without sin.

Writing for YES! Magazine, Ari Hornavar says, "I've observed that ‘morality police' are not limited to Iran's paramilitary enforcers. They're a global force, and they're spreading.”
Today we're speaking with writer and critic Claire Dederer, the author of Love and Trouble, as well as the memoir Poser: My Life in Twenty-Three Yoga Poses. She is a long-time contributor to the New York Times, and her work has also appeared in the Atlantic, The Nation, NY Magazine as well as many others. Her new book is called Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma. The book is a personal and critical investigation of how to deal with the art of difficult, or monstrous people. She first started thinking about this question while working on a book about Roman Polanski. Dederer dives into the knotty moral issues around art and the often flawed people who make it. She considers how an artist's behavior might stain and affect the way an audience approaches a work. Dederer explores and asks questions about people like Woody Allen, JK Rowling, Picasso, and Nabokov. How do we deal with the monsters among us, especially when they've created something we love? Also, Hernan Diaz, author of Trust, drops by to recommend works by two Norwegian writers, Love by Hanne Orstavik and Evil Flowers by Gunnhild Oyehaug.
What's going on with the banking collapse and the J6 videos? What was the cause of the collapse? Could it have been prevented? Was it because of Woke policies or just poor management? Did our out of control inflation have any impact?Now that Tucker Carlson has released the J6 videos, will there be justice for the protesters? What else is the government hiding? Were there government agitators involved inciting the damage? Were Antifa and BLM dressed up as MAGA people involved?Hosts Ray Amanat and Steve Reed discuss all this and more in today's episode.

What I enjoyed about this conversation with Anmol, was the juxtaposition of the personas he seems to have. On the one hand he appears to be the prototypical "finance guy." He is a high end trader, with nice clothes, and helps people make millions of dollars using his specialized investing approach (Learn more about it and his book here- https://preppingforsuccess.com/). Money and returns appear to be his guiding stars and he isn't ashamed about it. But then, Anmol is also deeply reflective, spiritual, and focused on morality. He realized he had a gift for understanding the psychology of traders and decided to use that to create tools to help others better their lives. He openly admits that most of the work that it takes to be successful can be done by anyone, it is just hard and boring. There is a humility and philosophical mindset that isn't just geared around money and expensive things. Maybe that has been one of my biggest learnings in doing this show, something I should have known since I was 6 years old-- the whole "don't judge a book by its cover" thing. People, like Anmol, are multi faceted. It is possible to be a hard driving finance professional, who also understands the role of spirituality in your life and desires to serve people beyond yourself. Just because I have preconceived notions of people and want to put them in a box does not mean that is the way the world actually works. We can only know that though through conversations like these. Only in being curious, probing, and questioning can we allow our minds to put aside our biases and actually understand someone for who they are. I am glad I did that with Anmol, because it allowed me to better understand how he balances these different "personas", what is actually most important to him, how he developed his moral compass, and what it is about trading that makes him feel so alive. A big thanks to him for being on and letting us peak through his perspective for a bit.
MagaMama with Kimberly Ann Johnson: Sex, Birth and Motherhood
In this episode, Kimberly and Keli discuss the future of women's health. During this recorded live event from Kimberly's living room, we learn about the extensive health benefits of vaginal steaming and how the shortcomings in gynecological training reflect contemporary cultural politics around women's bodies. They discuss how to bridge the knowledge gaps found in western medicine's approach to gynecological health when it comes to menstrual cycles, birth, postpartum, and menopause. They discuss their role in pushing the science forward with their collaborative vaginal steam study. They go in depth about healthy periods, uterine cleanses, the fertility industry, and the importance of new language that evolves Women's health. This conversation helps us understand how tending to gynecological care holistically is a way to tend to our own bodies, to tend to future generations, and to build mother culture. Bio Keli Garza has a Masters degree in International Development graduating cum laude with a focus in nonprofit management and human rights. Keli is the owner of Steamy Chick and the founder of the Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute. Through her company she raises awareness on the benefits of vaginal steaming, makes supplies accessible, conducts research and trains practitioners.

[UPDATED WITH CORRECT EPISODE LINK]In this episode I chat to Miles Brundage. Miles leads the policy research team at Open AI. Unsurprisingly, we talk a lot about GPT and generative AI. Our conservation covers the risks that arise from their use, their speed of development, how they should be regulated, the harms they may cause and the opportunities they create. We also talk a bit about what it is like working at OpenAI and why Miles made the transition from academia to industry (sort of). Lots of useful insight in this episode from someone at the coalface of AI development. You can download the episode here or listen below.

Recorded Future - Inside Threat Intelligence for Cyber Security
The Iraqi government has unveiled an app that helps ordinary citizens report “indecent” content online. Since its introduction, the Ballegh app has received some 144,000 reports. And the Iraqi app isn't the only one: A roster of similar morality apps have popped up across the region, raising new questions about the future of free speech in the Middle East.
In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, Jim Barrows and Christy Powell are live in the studio! They will discover different economic systems through absolute morality before performing a thought experiment with god as the arbiter of morality. This god is responsible for the high level grammar of the Quran and the fine tuning of the universe. We know this because we can't replicate abiogenesis and the messianic prophecy is all we need for proof of Jesus. Julia in Florida would like to hear input on other gods that we have in our society such as different systems. Economic systems can be one of these things. Look at what you are willing to do to support what you believe. Audience Question- Kathy wants to know about absolute morality. Morality is a judgment of behavior. How do you prove that an animal is acting out of forethought and no instinct? Michael in GA presents a thought experiment. If there was a god, then that god must be the arbiter of all morality. The god of the Bible is not only imaginary but also sounds like a narcist. Omar in CA presents the Quran as the highest level of grammar and is a sign of the original being preserved. What does the highest level of grammar mean? How is the Quran different from any other book? Before voice recordings, how do you prove the voice vocalizations are the same? Why is the Quran superior? Frank in NC asks what the hosts would accept as proof for god. We don't know what that evidence would be exactly. It is frustrating to see people indulging in antidotes that don't work in place of real life solutions. What is the evidence for the god you believe in? If we talk about probability, there is a problem with sample size and inherent sampling error. The problem with fine tuning is we only have one universe to draw samples from. If you don't know what something is, how do you know that it is fine tuned? Mike in WA asks if we have ever been able to replicate abiogenesis. Just because we can't replicate this, does not mean that it did not happen. Not knowing the answer to something does not prove that something else exists. Over the last 3,000 years, we have no new evidence for the existence of god, and no phenomena has been proven to be supernatural. Are you trying to make the watchmaker argument from design? This will not work for people who think critically. Anthony in MA brings up the Messianic Prophecy argument. If there are a number of books in a series, and the first book is true, how does that make the other books true? There are a number of stories in the Bible that we know did not happen as written. The people who wrote the gospels knew of the prophecies and they were more interested in theology than they were history. Thank you for being here everybody! Question of the week is: If god is so powerful, then why hasn't she___________?
Conscience: Our Moral Compass Right and wrong. Good and evil. Christianity teaches that these can be objectively known. In the book of Romans, the Apostle Paul tells us that even people who don't have God's revealed word can still stand guilty before Him because their consciences bear witness against them. What is the conscience and how does it help us to understand the concepts of good and evil? That's the discussion on this week's podcast.
Blind Limey makes his live debut in the studio today with Objectively Dan! They appeal to the higher power of AI when dealing with street preachers who tell us the origin of morality while being possessed by relatives.Janet from FL knows we don't have evidence for Christianity but believes because there has not been something that has convinced her not to. Introspection is hard and the fact that you have engaged in this already is fantastic. What does it mean to have not seen evidence to not believe? Just because we can't tell you how the universe started doesn't mean that we default to the Christian reason. Lisa in Canada asks why we are tempted to believe there is some sort of special involvement when something unusual happens. Superstitions that point to our need for survival, self preservations, and hierarchies that we have developed cause us to tend to think that we are being helped in some way. Arlindo in the UK asks about Chat GPT. We defer to those with more knowledge than us as one of our arguments. Chat GPT is just a language model that puts together words that we like, and not some form of intelligence with beliefs. Matias in Finland lets us know there are many street preachers that are obviously foreign operating in Finland, and wants to know what to do with them. You may try street epistemology, but you might find they are not worth your time. Sometimes, when these people go to Europe to preach, it can be a step in the right direction if you engage in a conversation with them, eventually leading to deconversion. Chris in PA asks how morality is found by atheists. Morality is something that comes naturally and from our ability to community, thrive, and survive. How do you determine that your god actually is moral? If god were to kill a bunch of people unnecessarily for them not being up to his standards, would that be a bad thing to do? Christianity justifies terrible things because they feel an obligation to a god. If any other authority threatened you with death to get you to obey, would you accept it? If Hitler were your dad, would you still follow Biblical law and “honor” him as your father? Gabriel from the audience asked what the dumbest thing was that someone thought atheists believe. Blind Limey said someone thought he was afraid of the truth.The funniest thing that happened to Dan was that a flat earther thought he was paid by NASA to say the earth is round. Harry in South Africa believes he saw a relative possessed by an ancestor. How can you tell that it was not a delusion or act? Anytime anything like this has been investigated, it has turned out to be a natural explanation or a sham. Thank you for tuning in this week! The question of the week is: What is a little known reason god sends people to hell?
You're probably never going to be a saint. Even so, let's face it: you could be a better person. We all could. Todd May is a philosopher whose work brings high-minded philosophical concepts - like how to live a decent life - down to earth in attainable, realistic ways. In this conversation with Bart Campolo, Todd talks about aspiring to be decent, moral gracefulness, reasons for morality, intentions, honesty and truthfulness, happiness versus flourishing, altruism, the concept of evil, 'normal' selfishness, stoicism and Todd's work on The Good Place.
“I'm convinced most of our problems in catechesis is we spend more time talking about what God wants of us than who God is.” Deacon Bob Rice, professor of Catechetics at Franciscian University of Steubenville, joins us to dive into the heart of catechesis, what our youth are most hungry for, how we can share the Gospel with those far from God, and how to make the bridge between dogma and everyday life. “They all need Jesus. They just don't know they need Jesus.” Show Notes: (00:12) Edmund kicks off the episode by introducing the guest: Deacon Bob Rice. He's a Catholic deacon, professor, podcaster, speaker, musician, and author at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. Edmund starts the conversation by asking Deacon Bob, “How did you first discover the Catechism?” Deacon Bob shares his mystical experience while reading the Catechism for the first time, and emphasizes that it's an expression of the deposit of faith and not the deposit of faith itself.(06:50) The importance of the preparation step: “Catechesis is oftentimes almost presented like an answer to a question no one was asking.” Deacon Bob and Edmund discuss the Ecclesial method and the importance of preparation in catechesis. They stress the need to understand the audience and their struggles instead of focusing solely on programs. Deacon Bob emphasizes that we need to see the goodness in people and treat catechesis as a way to build relationships and understand their needs.(14:55) “How do you know when it's time to talk about Jesus?” Deacon Bob emphasizes that building relationships and understanding people is key to evangelizing effectively. He reminds us that everyone is made in the image and likeness of God and shares the importance of seeing the good in others. “Culture is made up of men and women who are made in the image and likeness of God.“ =(20:33) Formally handing on the faith: advice to parents, teachers, and catechists. Dcn. Rice gives us his insights into how to bring “dogma into everyday life.” He shares, “love how the Catechism is structured. Morality is called Life in Christ. So it's about being like Jesus.” He gives us three things to keep in mind: First, “Always make it about Jesus.” Second, use the beauty of your own witness and that of the saints. Third, connect everything to the Gospel message.(26:57) “What do you see as the hunger in our youth?” Our guest shares that he sees human contact as the greatest hunger right now with young people. Additionally, he adds “truth and being able to trust the source” are dynamics young people struggle with right now. An OSV Podcasts partner.

Without God, and His standard of good, we're forced to believe in nature-only morals that conflict with the supernatural instinct we all feel. From April 30, 2023
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes a series of blunt and brutal questions 26 Apr 2023...
For this episode of Acton Line, Dylan Pahman, the editor of the Journal of Markets and Morality and a research fellow here at Acton, speaks with Alexander Salter. Salter is the author of the recent article "Free Enterprise and the Common Good,“ published at the Heritage Foundation. The article has generated a lot of buzz, particularly online, where the Salter's ideas have been the subject of much debate. Before delving into specific questions about the article and its reception, we start with some definitions to clear the air: What is common-good capitalism? What is the common good? And what is the difference between the "science" of economics and the "art" of political economy? They then explore how the author's article has been perceived within the context of the Heritage Foundation's recent changes, as well as how their ideas diverge from those of other national conservative economic proposals. They also discuss the influence of Roman Catholic social thought on the author's ideas, and the ways in which the Swiss German ordoliberal economist Wilhelm Röpke has shaped their thinking. Finally, we look at the concept of industrial policy and how it fits into the author's vision of common-good capitalism.Subscribe to our podcastsApply Now for Acton University 2023Free Enterprise and the Common Good: Economic Science and Political–Economic Art as Complements | The Heritage FoundationPhoto Credit: ASSOCIATED PRESS Hosted on Acast.

Today we're joined again by our friend James Lindsay, founder of New Discourses, to discuss Christian nationalism. We first look at how prominent Christian figures define Christian nationalism and how it's easy for conservative Christians to accept a definition of Christian nationalism that can result in unwarranted control over all Christians. Where is the line between morality shaped by a biblical worldview and Christian nationalism, and who decides which worldview shapes policy? We debate a bit where right and wrong and the basis of law come from, then discuss James' quote-tweet of Allie's Nashville shooting take and why he doesn't disagree with her, he's just weary of the Left's trap to fragment the population. We share the truth behind the trans movement and the false omniscience necessary for that worldview. --- Timecodes: (01:05) Definitions & traps of Christian nationalism (24:13) Morality vs. Christian nationalism (37:04) Reformers (39:20) James quote tweets Allie about Nashville shooting (49:55) Trans movement is the inverse of Christianity (57:30) The body and authenticity/autonomy --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers — get FREE bacon, great meat, a secure price, and a bonus of $20 OFF today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.

SHOW NOTESIn today's episode of the Talk Heathen, Richard Gilliver and Doctor Ben take on callers with a broad spectrum of topics. First caller is Erin in FL who views god pragmatically, does not believe Occam's Razor is a great argument when uncovering the truth, and believes the idea of an afterlife is good. It is not always a good idea to use Occam's Razor because we need to be aware of unlikely things. Could you see some problems with someone believing in an afterlife that doesn't exist? Could this belief be used to avoid making real life decisions? The time to believe something is when we have sound evidence for it. T in MO would like to talk about how the atheist response to the look at the trees argument validates any presumptions that theists might have about atheists being mean spirited people. Sometimes, the people who use this argument don't realize how poor the argument is and in those cases, it is a good methodology to meet them where they are at. Most of the time, those who use this argument are practiced apologists who are using sleight of hand to dismiss any atheist response which is why you see the hard push backs from atheists against these arguments. Not everybody that wants to work together to discover the truth and there is a time and place to use aggressive responses. Ray from IN wants to explain energies and let us know some secrets that we were all once great warriors that cycled through heaven because the devil made it to where death could come through heaven. Where do you find out about these things? Why do you think the Illuminati are fallen angels and what evidence do you have that they are not human beings? Phoebe Rose in England has a friend that wants her to officiate their pagan handfasting wedding next week and as an atheist has no idea how to respond to this friend. Do you feel like you want to do this regardless of their beliefs? As long as you are comfortable doing this, there may not be a need to draw a hard line. John in MT describes a study that shows how brain chemistry can influence every decision that we make and is evidence against the existence of the soul. If someone is claiming that the soul is supernatural and has influence on the natural world, there would not be unaccounted for brain chemistry. Having a debate on souls to begin with is granting far too much. Zak in OK recently came out to their coworkers via email as trans. Some of the kids still use the term “miss” and draw Jesus symbols to place right next to the pride flag that was a gift from another student. The most fair thing to do is to leave up both symbols without letting the student gain control of everything. Thank you for tuning in this week! The question of the week is: I know we aren't intelligently designed because______.
