Podcasts about Paternalism

The “trad wife” trend shows people are starving for natural order after feminism's damage — but not all patriarchy is the same.  Nietzschean vitalism (Bronze Age Pervert, Andrew Tate, etc.) celebrates raw conquest, optional families, and disposable wives. That's not what built the West.  The West was built by a different kind of man: monogamous, self-controlled, paternal Christian fathers who protected the weak, adopted the fatherless, and saw dominion as a duty to family, community, and God — not an end in itself.  If we replace that paternal strength with either polygamous warlord energy or soft nanny-state nudging, the civilization that conquered the world will fall. We are not just patriarchal. We are paternal — and that's the part worth saving.  https://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Dr. Jeffery L. Degner explains how an “inflation culture” reshapes marriage, adulthood, and family life for Gen Z and contrasts it with a path of courageous independence, sound saving, and earlier family formation.Recorded at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on November 1, 2025.

 Can the promise of economic progress ever justify conquest, coercion, and control over other people's lives? Economist William Easterly joins EconTalk's Russ Roberts to argue no--and to rethink what "development" really means in theory, in history, and in our politics today. Drawing on his new book, Violent Saviors: The West's Conquest of the Rest, Easterly explores how colonial powers and later regimes like the Soviet Union claimed to increase people's material well-being while stripping them of freedom, dignity, and any say in their own fate. Russ and Easterly dig into the idea of agency--the ability of people to choose for themselves--through the lens of Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, Kant, Frederick Douglass, and modern debates over foreign aid, autocrats, and technocratic "solutions" imposed from afar.

Sources:Salon: Deliberative democracy: Sounds boring — but it just might save usStanford: Could deliberative democracy depolarize America? Stanford scholars think so"Pedagogy or Programming? The Moral Case for Managed Consensus"Let's imagine a generous reading of the deliberative democracy project—the one where Fishkin, Diamond, and maybe even Sommer Gentry aren't scheming puppetmasters in a Stanford-branded lab, but earnest physicians treating a sick body politic.Under this view, deliberative democracy isn't a tool for reeducation—it's triage. It's not an escape room for the politically deficient—it's a refuge from the algorithmic inferno we've all been sleepwalking through. In an age where outrage is currency, and consensus is suspect, maybe creating a safe, structured space for pluralism isn't authoritarian. Maybe it's necessary.You could say: the experiment is the antidote.Yes, it smells paternalistic. Yes, it looks like programming. But look around—everything is programming now. TikTok. YouTube. Fox. MSNBC. Ragebait thumbnails and weaponized empathy loops. If every click already reshapes the public, maybe deliberative democracy is just counter-programming. If Stanford's behavioral nudges are a velvet cage, then Twitter is a behavioral meat grinder.So what if we flip the script?What if nudging isn't coercion but a moral obligation—when the civic arena is already saturated with weaponized behavioral design? What if using color revolution tactics on ourselves is a kind of inoculation, a way to protect a pluralistic republic from its own digital autoimmune disorders?In this reading, the voter is not a rat. They're a patient.Deliberative polling becomes a kind of democratic dialysis—filtering out toxins, restoring cognitive function, creating political coherence where before there was only tribal signal boosting and reactive posturing. The empathy isn't manufactured—it's restored. The shift in views isn't coerced—it's coaxed, slowly, gently, through conversation, not confrontation.Critics call this infantilizing. Proponents might say: it's an ethical reframing of political adulthood. Because maybe treating everyone like sovereign, fully autonomous agents in a weaponized information ecosystem is like sending 5th graders into a casino full of con men and propaganda booths.What if we do need a little civic scaffolding? What if treating voters as “electoral minors” is only condescending if you ignore the asymmetry of information warfare they're up against?After all, behavioral economics already reshaped how we shop, save, eat, and vote. What Fishkin offers is a version of that power used openly, accountably, and (in theory) neutrally.And then there's the global precedent. Europe runs citizens' assemblies. Mongolia runs constitutional deliberation weekends. Ireland used civic panels to move toward marriage equality. Even China, in places like Zeguo Township, has invited deliberative budgeting into its opaque governance layers. If managed consensus is such a dangerous tool, it's strange that even authoritarian-adjacent regimes deploy it to stabilize and legitimize policy, not to eradicate dissent.Of course, the danger isn't in deliberation—it's in believing deliberation immunizes you from power's corruptions. Paternalism always thinks it's helping. But in moments of fracture, triage can feel tyrannical to those who didn't choose the treatment.Still, if we believe democracy is more than mere arithmetic—if it is, in fact, a moral and epistemic project—then maybe we owe it to ourselves to create rituals of reason, however artificial they may initially seem.Deliberative democracy might not be perfect. But it could be the only operating table we have left before the patient flatlines.

In contemporary China, people diagnosed with serious mental illnesses have long been placed under the guardianship of close relatives who decide on their hospitalization and treatment. Despite attempts at reforms to ensure patient rights, the 2013 Mental Health Law reinforced the family's rights and responsibilities.  In Between Families and Institutions, Zhiying Ma examines how ideological, institutional, and technological processes shape families' complicated involvement in psychiatric care. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in psychiatric hospitals, community mental health teams, social work centers, and family support groups as well as interviews with policymakers and activists, Ma maps the workings of what she calls "biopolitical paternalism"--a mode of governance that sees vulnerable individuals as sources of risk, frames risk management as the state's paternalistic intervention, and shifts responsibilities for care and management onto families. Ma outlines the ethical tensions, intimate vulnerabilities in households, and health disparities across the population that biopolitical paternalism produces. By exploring these implications, Ma demonstrates the myriad ways biopower enables, inhibits, and transforms medical care in China. Learn more about your ad choices.

The 1950s and 60s were a time of medical paternalism in America. The doctor, who was male in 98 percent of cases, decided what was best for his patient and unilaterally made decisions that were rarely, if ever questioned. In 1969 Dr. Marcus Welby was the TV prototype of this godlike paragon, and he spoke decisively and with authority in countless American households, including my own, on a weekly basis. This paternalistic approach to medical care affected both male and female patients but had a more profound impact on women since they regularly required medical intervention due to childbirth and gynecologic issues. This was a time when the likelihood of a hysterectomy was at its peak. Estimates suggest that the annual incidence of hysterectomy in 1935 was 2.4 per 1000 women. By the 1970s, it was 11 women per 1000 .  This episode is a historical perspective examining the rise..and fall of inappropriate hysterectomies that were driven by not just paternalism, but other factors as well.  And if you are looking for a little more history, head over to my substack for my article on Historic Approaches to dealing with uterine prolapse.

Underlying open banking is an important assumption: That if you give the consumer all the information about what data is held on them and all the control over how that data is shared, that they will be better off. That they will use that information and control to make better decisions, decisions that benefit them. But is that actually so? Behavioral economics says that perhaps the answer is no. Rising to prominence in the late nineties and two-thousands, behavioural economics challenges the idea that people always behave rationally. For those building open banking environments aimed at truly helping consumers make better decisions about their money and their data, its lessons are invaluable. In this episode, Eyal sits down with renowned behavioural economist Dan Ariely, a professor, scientist and best-selling author, to discuss the roots of behavioral economics, the role of paternalism, and how friction and motivation can be applied to building better financial services.Specifically they discuss: Understanding behavioural economicsVisible money vs. invisible moneyUsing friction and motivationPaternalism and responsibilityBuilding environments that benefit us

If you think about it "dance your cares away, worries for another day" has a horrifying ring to it when the cares in question concern the reproduction of systemic hierarchies through legitimizing narratives about the "natural" order. Is the Doozer motto "work your cares away, dancing is for another day", are they really expressing their authentic preference or merely a preference bred into them through generations of domestication by their Fraggle overlorders. OR, did an ancient, advanced Doozer society in fact domesticate the Fraggles to distract the Gorgs from feeding on Doozer, only to become a sub-altern species in the heirarchy that formed after the collapse of the golden age of Doozer/Fraggle relations. OOOOOR, is that itself just a speciestist mytho-historic narrative constructed by Fraggle scholars as yet another level of social control?! And what does all of this have to do with animal rights and paternalism in environmental ethics?! Let the music of the colonizers play and find out, down in Fraggle Rock!

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Marty Makary and I dive deep into chapters from Dr. Makary's newly published book ‘Blind Spots' . The book sheds light on how misguided medical advice has shaped public health while exploring the profound errors and outdated practices that have shaped our healthcare system, from misguided low-fat diet recommendations to the controversial advice on peanut allergies for infants. Dr. Makary's insights into the influence of the hubris within the medical establishment reveal why questioning medical dogma is crucial. Whether you're a healthcare professional or a patient seeking to make informed decisions, this conversation highlights the importance of challenging assumptions and staying proactive in your health journey.

Neil Gong is an assistant professor of sociology at UC San Diego, where he researches psychiatric services, homelessness, and how communities seek to maintain social order. Neil's new book, "Sons, Daughters, and Sidewalk Psychotics: Mental Illness and Homelessness in Los Angeles," published by the University of Chicago Press, offers a detailed look into the starkly different worlds of mental health care in Los Angeles. He contrasts the public safety-net clinics, which strive to keep patients housed and out of jail, with the elite private care centers that cater to the wealthy. He finds that while the public system focuses on survival and containment, often providing only minimal care, the private system aims at rehabilitation and respectability, albeit sometimes at the cost of personal freedom. Neil's extensive fieldwork included spending nights in homeless encampments, shadowing social workers, and engaging with patients and families across the socioeconomic spectrum. His work highlights systemic failures and societal indifference but also the humanity of those working and living within these disparate treatment systems. In our conversation, we unpack the critical insights from his book and explore the broader implications of his research. How do these disparate systems reflect our societal values? What can we learn about the intersection of mental health, homelessness, and social policy? And perhaps most importantly, how can we move towards a more equitable and humane approach to mental health care? *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

What's misinformation about the economy? It's a well-known fact policymakers and Economists outright lie about any situation. But why? They say it's for your own good. The lies are beginning to pile up so much that officials now have to lie about their lies, including the very theory behind all of this especially when some of the theoreticians who came up with it no longer want to be the very purveyors of misinformation. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro AnalysisGeorge DeMartino Should Economists Deceive?

In this episode of The Swift Half with Snowdon, Christopher Snowdon welcomes Erik W. Matson, Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, to delve into Matson's latest work "New Paternalism Meets Older Wisdom". Matson's book, a critical examination of the "new paternalism" philosophy within behavioural economics, published by the IEA, challenges the notion that nudging policies based on choice architecture truly serve individuals' best interests. Drawing from insights of philosophers like David Hume and Adam Smith, Matson argues for respecting individual autonomy and cautions against paternalistic interventions that may undermine authentic human agency. Their conversation touches on various aspects, including time inconsistency in decision-making and the dangers of overriding diverse values based on simplistic assumptions of people's "true" desires.

How Much Autonomy Do Therapy Clients Deserve? Balancing client autonomy with therapist skill Curt and Katie chat about client autonomy. We look at what patient autonomy is and what therapists need to understand about this very complex topic. We explore how therapists can overstep or abdicate their role in supporting their clients in making decisions. We also look at what true informed consent is and the dimensions of client autonomy. This is an ethics continuing education podcourse. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about client autonomy Therapists are faced with balancing their professional knowledge with the needs and desires of clients. At the core of this issue is the principle ethic of client autonomy. How much autonomy do therapists need to give clients? What do therapists do when clients don't have the capacity for autonomy in the first place? This workshop explores the considerations that therapists must face when balancing the needs of clients with professional mental health services.hen What is patient or client autonomy in mental health? ·      Clients making decisions about their treatment based on solid information and an understanding of that information ·      There is a debate related to whether we defer to clients' decisions no matter what versus standing in the role of professional therapist What do therapists need to understand about client autonomy? ·      There is a lot of complexity and nuance related to therapist responsibility as professionals versus when therapists can become too paternalistic ·      There is a not a lot of discussion within the ethics codes related to client autonomy, they are usually in the preamble, so it is more important while also be less discussed ·      Freedom (or liberty) to make choices versus agency (or capacity) to understand the choices ·      Therapists need to clarify for clients the options and make sure they can make informed decisions How is informed consent related to client autonomy? ·      If clients don't know what their therapists are doing, do they have client autonomy? ·      Evaluation of whether someone has the capacity to make treatment decisions can be impacted by bias, but is the role of the therapist within the mental health treatment ·      We don't want to equate autonomy with autonomous decision-making Dimensions of client autonomy and the therapist's responsibility ·      Decisional dimension – being able to plan and make decisions about their mental health treatment ·      Executive dimension - being able to follow through on the plans made ·      Therapists need to be able to step forward and provide additional support to clients to bring them back to autonomy or hold a line in treatment that will and will not be offered ·      Informed dimension - understanding the difference between informed consent and informed assent and being able to give instructions ahead of time if have a mental health crises ·      Looking at a “Mental Health Advanced Directive” – one example is the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (see the resources section in the show notes). Paternalism and client autonomy ·      Not all “paternalism” is wrong – when clients are unable to care for self, they may need some paternalism to be able to be safe or get the treatment that they need ·      Asymmetrical versus libertarian paternalism is discussed ·      The importance of understanding your own bias and how the way you frame options can be manipulative Receive Continuing Education for this Episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Continuing Education Information including grievance and refund policies.

Y'all, I'm gettin' REAL in this episode. We always talk about how anti-racism is a journey not a destination, and it's so important to take time to reflect on that journey. So in today's episode, I'm sharing part of my journey with you!  You may have heard of the Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture developed by Tema Okun. She is a white woman who has been doing DEI work for more than 30 years, and she developed this list of 15 characteristics of white supremacy culture in the early 1990s, but the list has sort of been revived since 2020. In this episode, I share the 15 characteristics and more about where they came from but I really zero in on two of them — perfectionism and a sense of urgency — to talk about how I've seen them playing out in my own life and use them as a reflection tool.  None of us is immune to white supremacy culture, and I'm no exception. I hope hearing me talk about my own journey gives you the chance to reflect on where you are in your anti-racism journey, including how far you've come and where you still want to go.   Invite Jasmine to work with your school!

Choice architecture and libertarian paternalism are fascinating ideas that influence our decision making processes.   Too much choice isn't necessarily good, and no choice is for sure bad; it's important to find that middle ground. To position ourselves for success, it's essential we get clear on our preferences and put them to work in our lives.     George talks about how to ensure you remain free and autonomous.    Here's the paper on Libertarian Paternalism: https://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1184&context=public_law_and_legal_theory   Ready to get your finances together?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: According to Liz Wolf of Reason, Governor Kathy Hochul is considering a ban on all cigarette sales in New York. You can read Wolf's full editorial here: https://reason.com/2023/04/24/new-york-governor-gauging-support-for-full-ban-on-cigarette-sales/ While speaking at the University of Ottawa with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that he has “never forced anyone to get vaccinated.” However, several soundbites from last year indicate he is lying about his stance on mandatory vaccinations. Switzerland-based Nestle, the world's largest food and drink manufacturer, has raised prices by nearly 10% over the last three months in response to inflationary pressure. In a video that has gone viral on social media, a San Francisco-based Target has placed nearly all of its items behind locked glass as part of an effort to dissuade shoplifters. Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that roughly one-third of New York City's shoplifting was attributable to just 327 repeat offenders. Why are major cities no longer prosecuting theft? In a recent New York Times opinion editorial, Brown University President Christina Paxson compared the church's suppression of Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei's theory of heliocentrism to the passage of bills throughout the United States limiting radical “equity” initiatives.
