This week's episode is a live recording of Wisdom of Crowds, where we celebrated a very special occasion: the publication of Shadi Hamid's new book, The Case for American Power. The book is a soul-searching study about American power as a force for good in the world, and it combines memoir and foreign policy analysis. Shadi's thesis is that if we want to make the world “more just and more moral, more democratic and more respectful of human rights,” then backing the United States is both the “last best hope and the least-bad option.”Joining Shadi Hamid and Damir Marusic is special guest Matt Duss, former foreign policy advisor to Bernie Sanders, executive vice president of the Center for International Policy, and co-host of the Undiplomatic Podcast. “I am certainly not against the idea of American power,” says Matt. But his question is: “Which America?” Duss is less optimistic that US power can be put to good use because, he says, we are currently having a national debate about “what is the nature of the American project.” It's unclear how that debate will end.Nevertheless, Shadi argues, American democracy, however imperfect, is still superior to the regimes in the other global hegemons, Russia and China. We should not fear our own home — oikophobia is a real issue, Shadi says, using the term for “fear of one's home,” the opposite of xenophobia. Duss partially agrees, but says that being a democracy does not necessarily imbue American foreign policy with moral authority. “International law does that.” The topic of international law prompts Damir to steer the conversation towards the topic of Gaza. Does American collaboration with Israeli war crimes disprove Shadi's thesis? Or does it paradoxically strengthen the argument that the world needs morally-guided American power? At this point, Shadi utters one of the best lines of the night: “To be seen as hypocritical is the cost of trying to being better than you actually are.”We are making this episode completely free for all subscribers, including the Q and A section, which covers topics like: hypocrisy in foreign policy; why working with China is preferable to the US for some nations; how Gaza will change the Democratic Party; the crisis in the MAGA coalition; and more!

Der Titel der heutigen Episode lautet: »Komfortable Disruption«. Komfortable Disruption ist eigentlich eine Verkürzung; genauer gesagt müsste der Titel lauten: »Komfortable evolutionäre Disruption«, aber das ist natürlich sperriger. Es hört auch wie ein Gegensatz an, und diese Provokation soll auch so sein. Evolution bedeutet graduelle Veränderung, jedenfalls aus Sicht des Genotyps; also aus Sicht der Bauform, die Auswirkungen können recht erheblich sein. Mein neues Buch: Hexenmeister oder Zauberlehrling? Die Wissensgesellschaft in der Krise kann vorbestellt werden! Disruption bedeutet aber einen Umbruch, bei dem sich sehr viel in relativ kurzer Zeit verändert. Wie kann beides zusammengehen? Oder noch genauer: warum muss vermutlich beides zusammengehen? Und noch wichtiger: was hat das mit Komfort zu tun? Ich versuche in dieser Episode zwei Dinge zu erreichen: (1) Ein paar Einsichten, zu denen ich in den vergangenen Monaten gelangt bin, teilen, weil diese wirklich coole Beobachtungen über Form, Weg und Geschwindigkeit von Innovationen sind, die vielen nicht bewusst sind und auch mir in Tiefe und Breite nicht klar waren; da werde ich einige Beispiele nennen. (2) Daraus abgeleitet ein paar Fragen, was wir von diesen Beobachtungen für die heutige Zeit und die Zukunft lernen können, und zwar sowohl in der Beobachtung und Interpretation dessen, was um uns herum passiert, aber auch, was das für Geschwindigkeit und Form von Innovationen in der Zukunft bedeuten könnte. Wir stellen in dieser Episode die Frage, was die TAP-Theorie (Theory of the Adjacent Possible) damit zu tun hat, warum jeder Alexander Bell als Erfinder des Telefons kennt, Elisha Gray aber unbekannt geblieben ist. Die wichtigste Frage aber ist: was geschieht beim Übergang vom Alten zum Neuen und was hat es mit Mimetic Ornamentation (Mimesis) zu tun? »universal human reaction to technological change: the tendency to reproduce in new materials and techniques shapes and qualities familiar from past usage, regardless of appropriateness. This tendency may be called the principle of mimesis.«, Roger Scruton Ich schildere dies anhand einer Reihe von wirklich faszinierenden Beispielen: Architektur in der Antike Entwicklung der Eisenbahn und des Autos Kleidung Fenster und Fassaden Holz-Konstruktionen und deren Echos in die Gegenwart Skeuomorphismus in der Software Zugabteil aus der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts (Modell, Technisches Museum Wien) Was sind die treibenden Kräfte für dieses Mimikri, diese mimetischen Ornamente und vergleichbarer Phänomene? »People have generally tended to resist change; they find it reassuring to be surrounded by known and familiar forms. Reproducing them as ornament on newly introduced forms is a common reaction to the vague feeling of uneasiness that rapid social and technological change induces; it provides a satisfying sense of continuity between the past and the present.«, Roger Scruton  Aber es ist nicht nur der Widerstand gegen Neues, es gibt noch eine Reihe von anderen Gründen, warum sich Innovation älterer (Design-)Elemente bedient. Welche sind das? Was treibt nun diese Mimikri? Warum ist das wichtig, relevant? Was können wir aus diesen Beobachtungen über Innovation lernen, die Geschwindigkeit von Veränderung und die Frage, ob es uns gelingen kann oder wird, die Stagnation der letzten Jahrzehnte zu überwinden.

Ztratili jsme smysl pro krásu – a s ním i dušiKdyž britský filozof Roger Scruton poznamenává, že krása je „způsob, jímž se věci ukazují jako hodné lásky“, míří proti samozřejmosti, že pravda leží „pod povrchem“. Navazuje na Wildeovo „jen lidé povrchní nesoudí podle zevnějšku“. Tvář, gesto, tón – to nejsou přívěsky reality, nýbrž její jazyk.Z toho plyne i Scrutonova polemika se stanoviskem, podle něhož je biologie a fyzika základní klíč ke světu. Věda sice popíše příčiny a mechanismy, ale nevysvětlí, čeho se naše vnímání týká a proč na tom záleží. Lidský svět je svět první osoby – intencionality, tedy směrování k někomu a k něčemu. Proto „mozky nemyslí, myslí jen lidé“: hudba, obraz, slovo jsou srozumitelné jen tomu, kdo umí slyšet napětí a uvolnění, vidět tvář, číst gesto. Kultura a výchova potud nejsou luxus či nadstavba, ale vytvářejí základní gramatiku našeho světa.Krása má navíc etickou sílu: brzdí destrukci tím, že věci představuje jako nenahraditelné. Proto jsou s krásou spjaty tabu a úcta, proto náboženské tradice nesou tolik umění. Kdybychom jedním tahem škrtli ze světa náboženství, vymizela by i velká část umění, ať už literatury, výtvarného umění nebo klasické hudby. Umět vnímat krásu znamená najít ve světě domov; přijmout smrt znamená rozumět, že tento domov není věčný, ale právě proto je hodný péče. Krása nás učí dívat se s úctou a pokusit se být odpovědnými správci toho, čeho jsme se stali dědici.KapitolyI.

“We have technology, convenience, security, and a measure of prosperity, but where is the beauty? Where is the beauty that we know we cannot really live without?”    John-Mark Miravalle, Beauty: What it is and Why it Matters In 2009 the late English philosopher Roger Scruton warned that “Beauty is vanishing from our world”, and that […] The post Why the Lack of Beauty is Destroying Society first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

Philosopher and UnHerd writer Kathleen Stock joins Freddie Sayers to discuss one of the strangest and most revealing cultural moments of the year: the rise of Bonnie Blue, the OnlyFans pornstar at the heart of a new documentary that's turning heads and raising questions about sexuality, morality, and the future of sex.Stock — a former professor of philosophy, a leading critic of gender ideology, and a regular UnHerd contributor — agreed to watch the Bonnie Blue documentary at a screening and return with her reflections. In this wide-ranging conversation, she and Freddie delve into the deeper meaning behind the phenomenon: What does Bonnie Blue say about us? Is this just porn, or is it something more — a symptom of a culture in moral decline?They explore the lasting wisdom of Roger Scruton, whose warnings about the separation of sex from beauty and meaning now feel prescient. They also consider the implications of the Online Safety Act, censorship, the state's role in regulating sexual content, and whether we've lost the language for intimacy, mystery, and erotic imagination.

The title of today's episode is “Rules.” The term “rules” encompasses a variety of concepts, including algorithms, maxims, principles, models, laws, regulations, and even laws of nature. In essence, rules shape our world and our lives. My guest for this conversation is Prof. Lorraine Daston. Lorraine Daston is Director Emerita at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, a Permanent Fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, and a Visiting Professor in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. After studying at Harvard and Cambridge Universities, she taught at Princeton, Harvard, Brandeis, Chicago, and Göttingen Universities before becoming one of the founding directors of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, serving from 1995 until her retirement in 2019. She has published extensively on topics in the history of science, including probability, wonders, objectivity, and observation. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, the Leopoldina National Academy of Germany, and a corresponding member of the British Academy. One of her recent books, titled Rules — the namesake of this episode — will be at the center of our discussion. For our German audience, a German translation of this book is also available.  This episode has another inspiring connection: in Episode 120, I spoke with her husband, Prof. Gerd Gigerenzer. If you are German-speaking, I highly recommend listening to both episodes, as you'll find a number of overlapping and complementary topics and ideas.  We start with tie question: what are rules, algorithms, maxims, principles, models, laws, regulations — and why such a wide net was cast in the book. »One way of thinking about rules is to think about them along the axis of specificity versus generality.« What are thick and thin rules then? Is this a second axis, perpendicular perhaps, to the previous? When are we supposed to exercise judgement — or is a rule supposed to cover all circumstances? How does an unstable and unpredictable world fit into this landscape of rules? “No rules could be given to oversee when and how rules could be legitimately broken without an infinite regress of rules, meta-rules, meta-meta-rules, and so on. At some point, executive discretion must put an end to the series, and that point cannot be foreseen.” What about Immanuel Kant and his book titles? Did our lives become more or less predictable?  »Seit der Antike gilt: es ist egal wann sie geboren sind oder sterben, es läuft immer dasselbe Stück – Dies stimmt seit 200 Jahren nun nicht mehr.«, Peter Sloterdijk Is the assumption correct that in the past lives were very unpredictable in the short term but rather predictable in the mid and long term, where this is the opposite today? What can we learn from the rule of St. Benedikt? Why is it impossible to define rules without exceptions and judgement — what is Wittgensteins example? “Even what seems to us a straightforward rule — does require interpretation. […]  We cant simply solve the problem of rule following by adding meta-rules of interpretation. This is a procedure which will go on to infinity.” Why is this a deep and fundamental problem for bureaucracies? What happens if rules get overbearing? How do we teach rules? Why is “rule as model” an important concept? How do we know that we mastered something? »I think typical of the things we do best that we are no longer conscious of doing them« What is the relation between power and rules? We makes the rules, who executes the rules and who has to follow the rules? “sovereignty as the power to decide on the exception” Carl Schmitt The German scientist Thomas Bauer asks the question: Did we loose are tolerance for ambiguity? »Wer Eindeutigkeit erstrebt, wird darauf beharren, dass es stets nur eine einzige Wahrheit geben kann und dass diese Wahrheit auch eindeutig erkennbar ist.« »Nur dann, wenn etwas rein ist, kann es eindeutig sein.« Thomas Bauer What is the connection between tolerance for ambiguity and trust? »There is something really quite strange going on here about this voracios appetite for control, predictability and certainty. The more you have, the more you want.« Does the desire for purity lead to moralistic arguments and dogmatism? What can we learn from Francois-Jacques Guillote and total surveillance and control in the 18th century and today? »The more you try to close the loop holes, the more loop holes you create« What do we learn from all that about the modern world? Do complex societies/organisations need more or less rules? How should these rules be designed? »It's much better to have a system which has very few rules and the rules are formulated as general principles.« Roger Scruton asks a fundamental question: What comes first, rules or order? »We should always remember that legislation does not create legal order but presupposes it.« What is the relation between knowlesge and power (of rules)? »It is far easier to concentrate power than to concentrate knowledge.«, Tom Sowell What about »laws of nature« — how do they fit into the picture of rules? Why do we call regularities of nature »laws«? Can god change the laws of nature? What did Leibniz have to say about that question? »Something which is entirely without precedent and without any kind of reference to a previously existing genre often just appears chaotic to us.« And finally, what do rules mean for culture and entertainment? Is there entertainment without rules? Do rules trigger creativity? »Much as we complain about rules, much as we feel stifled by rules, we nonetheless crave them. […] one definition of culture is: culture and rules are the same thing,« Is individual freedom in an over-regulated society even possible? Have we traded alleged safety for freedom? Will we finally make the important steps back to accountability and further to resposibility?

Pensar no es una extravagancia ni un privilegio: es una necesidad. Pero en tiempos de ruido, rapidez y consignas, hacerlo bien se convierte en una rareza. 'Cosas que he aprendido de gente interesante' (Deusto, 2025: https://amzn.to/4lCWCrV) el nuevo libro de Miguel Ángel Quintana Paz, es un mapa de esas rarezas: filosofía, teología, política y sentido común, reunidos en forma de artículos breves, agudos y profundamente humanos. Desde Sócrates hasta Roger Scruton, pasando por la cultura 'woke', el catolicismo, los ofendiditos, la posmodernidad o el lugar de España en el mundo, Quintana no pontifica: observa, cuestiona, matiza, recuerda. Porque en cada columna publicada —ya sea en The Objective, Vozpópuli, El Español o El Mundo— hay algo más que opinión: hay un esfuerzo por comprender antes que juzgar, y por hilar fino cuando todo invita a gritar. Esta charla es, como su libro, un intento de conversar con el tiempo que nos ha tocado vivir. Porque pensar bien no es solo una forma de elegancia intelectual. Es, quizás, la última forma de resistencia. Bienvenidos a la Terra Ignota.

We then go through the history of conservatism, and talk about thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Saint Augustine, David Hume, Edmund Burke, attitudes toward the American Revolution and the French Revolution, the 19th century and freedom through authority, the 20th century, Friedrich Hayek, Robert Nozick, Roger Scruton, and the present in Donald Trump and his supporters. We discuss issues surrounding immigration, the family, sexual ethics, responsibilities and rights, and religion. Finally, we talk about the future of conservatism.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

The right-wing ideologies we see most active in the world right now aren't intellectual by any stretch of the imagination. But there is a rich tradition of conservative political and social philosophy and, as liberals, it's important to understand what its objections to liberalism look like.ReImagining Liberty stalwart Matthew McManus, a lecturer in political science at the University of Michigan, wrote an article for Liberal Currents not too long ago about the philosopher Roger Scruton's criticism of liberalism from a conservative perspective. Scruton's work is perfect—because of its erudition, accessibility, and exemplariness—for understanding the philosophical conservative perspective.Today Matt and I use Scruton's ideas as a way to interrogate the conservative intellectual tradition and to argue that conservative philosophy aims less at a society organized around truth than it does a society where certainty rarely faces challenge.Discuss this episode with the host and your fellow listeners in the ReImagining Liberty Reddit community: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReImaginingLiberty/ If you enjoy ReImagining Liberty and want to listen to episodes free of ads and sponsorships, become a supporter.

“One thing I would note about the Trumpian populists and their counterparts elsewhere in the West today is that they're a very peculiarly tribal kind of post conservative right. It's almost a kind of reassertion of paganism and tribal boundaries and grievance. That is very different from a more traditional kind of conservatism, where the texture of society and the accumulated wisdom of the past and the cultivation of virtue loomed large – at least as ideals, as aspirations. In contrast to that, this kind of contemporary populism has very little texture or wisdom or virtue – its more like a resentful atomism that is invoking certain tribal markers of membership because it's politically convenient, as it were.” – Adam Kempton Webb, NBN interview March 2025 In this expansive and thought-provoking interview, Adam K. Webb lays out a sweeping vision for a post-liberal, post-national world constitution, challenging the dominance of state sovereignty, corporate capitalism, and procedural liberalism. Drawing on over a quarter-century of scholarship culminating in his latest book The World's Constitution (Routledge, 2025) Webb proposes a system of functional sphere pluralism, where governance is rooted in ethical traditions rather than ideology – where citizenship, law, and economic participation are no longer restricted by territorial nation-states. Coming to terms with Webb's interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective suggests an affinity with thinkers like the late James C. Scott, in his critique of centralized control, coupled with the sensibilities of Roger Scruton and Patrick Deneen, in their defense of ethical and cultural order. Yet Webb diverges from them all in his insistence on a global, meta-constitutional framework, which might place him closer to the likes of Robert D. Kaplan, as seen in his latest work on civilizational cycles and geopolitical evolution. From his critique of elite legal capture (responding to a question on Katharina Pistor's The Code of Capital) to his historical engagement with Confucian, Islamic, and European pluralist traditions, Webb offers a bold alternative to today's stagnating governance models. Whether you are interested in constitutional theory, global governance, or the future of civilization itself, the professor's insights in this interview offers an intellectually rich and thought provoking conversation that is well worth your time.

Quelle est exactement sa pensée ? Qui sont ses héritiers, Michael Oakeshott et Roger Scruton ? - réalisation : Nicolas Berger - invités : Françoise Orazi Maître de conférence en civilisation britannique à l'université Lumière Lyon-2; Laetitia Strauch-Bonart Journaliste, essayiste ; Philippe Raynaud Professeur émérite de science politique à l'université Panthéon-Assas, membre de l'Institut universitaire de France

In this episode, Dr. John Patrick reflects on the lessons embedded in history, literature, and cultural values. Drawing from the poetry of Thomas Gray and the writings of Roger Scruton, Dr. Patrick explores the erosion of biblical literacy, the shift away from reasonableness, and the societal implications of technological and cultural advancements. He contrasts the enduring strength of Judeo-Christian principles with the modern challenges of moral relativism, political ambition, and the neglect of foundational truths. This thought-provoking discussion bridges historical insights with contemporary issues, offering a compelling narrative on responsibility, humility, and the significance of preserving timeless values.   // LINKS // Website: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ Podcast: https://doctorjohnpatrick.podbean.com/ Biblical Literate Quiz: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/meaning-metaphor-and-allusion/ Recommended Reading list: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/book-list/ Ask Doctor John: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ask/ LINKS: https://beacons.ai/doctorjohnpatrick

Damir Marusic and WoC executive editor Santiago Ramos get together to discuss Damir's latest article, “Why We Need Nightmares.” In it, Damir writes about the the binding of Isaac — the chilling story from the Book of Genesis where God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son. Damir is fascinated both by the story and by a Caravaggio painting depicting it. “That's the stuff,” he writes. But what is this “stuff”?While searching for an answer to this question, Damir and Santiago cover a lot of ground. They discuss the story of Abraham and Isaac, as well as the different ways that philosophers have interpreted it. They talk about Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Kant. They come to the conclusion that, while we all have different words for it — terrifying, mysterious, sublime — everyone must grapple with the stuff. Grappling with the stuff is an essential part of living a human life, for believers and unbelievers alike.This episode covers the Bible, philosophy, art, music, and much more. It is not a debate, but an exploration of what exactly it is that makes certain stories, works of art, and experiences so moving, compelling, terrifying.

Following the recent announcement of a general election in the UK, we revisit our debate from 2018 in which key politicians debated the merits of Left vs Right politics. The political Left often purports that it has society's best interests at heart and that it works for the good of all. Yet according to conservatives, it is precisely that self-regard, that attempt to monopolise virtue, which exposes the hypocrisy of left-wing ideology. In this archive debate from 2018, we gathered Labour MP Stella Creasy, environmental campaigner, journalist and author, George Monbiot, Conservative MP Kwasi Kwarteng, and the leading philosopher of conservative thought, the late Roger Scruton, who sadly passed away in 2020, to discuss the issue of right vs left. Our host for the discussion was the journalist, broadcaster, and John L Weinberg visiting professor at Princeton University in the School of Public and International Affairs, Razia Iqbal.

Roger Scruton was one of the outstanding British philosophers of the post-war years. Why then was he at best ignored and at worst reviled? In Roger Scruton: The Philosopher on Dover Beach (Bloomsbury, 2024), Mark Dooley brilliantly illuminates Scruton's life and offers careful analysis of his work. Considering how Scruton's conservative instinct was sharpened during the Paris riots of 1968, Dooley explores why Scruton set himself the task of stridently opposing what he termed 'the culture of repudiation' and how he accomplished it. Covering Scruton's centrals ideas, such as his view of human nature, opposition of the social contract theory and criticisms of the European Union and United Nationals, Dooley argues that he was a prophet for our times - the one British intellectual who courageously rowed against the tide of liberal conviction and arrived at political conclusions the truth of which are becoming more and more obvious.

«‘Hija mía, busca siempre la Verdad, lo Bueno y lo Justo, porque donde estén las tres, estará Dios. Y será hermoso. Pero, sobre todo, nunca te canses de buscar'. Quizá no fueran esas sus palabras exactas, pero sí fue como cristalizó mi recuerdo, y es al que vuelvo en muchas ocasiones. A veces los padres nos anuncian sendas insospechadas sin saberlo ellos siquiera, porque de esa frase, quizá ruego, que me legó, recordándola toda siempre, lo que más inopinadamente hizo mella en mí fue ese ‘será hermoso'. Sin ser yo consciente durante mucho tiempo, la Belleza fue tomando cuerpo como medida de las cosas justas, ciertas y buenas, haciéndose presente en mi subconsciente como una suerte de enzima catalizadora de las personas, las acciones y las intenciones de la vida».

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: #185 - The 7 most promising ways to end factory farming, and whether AI is going to be good or bad for animals (Lewis Bollard on the 80,000 Hours Podcast), published by 80000 Hours on April 30, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. We just published an interview: Lewis Bollard on the 7 most promising ways to end factory farming, and whether AI is going to be good or bad for animals . Listen on Spotify or click through for other audio options, the transcript, and related links. Below are the episode summary and some key excerpts. Episode summary The constraint right now on factory farming is how far can you push the biology of these animals? But AI could remove that constraint. It could say, "Actually, we can push them further in these ways and these ways, and they still stay alive. And we've modelled out every possibility and we've found that it works." I think another possibility, which I don't understand as well, is that AI could lock in current moral values. And I think in particular there's a risk that if AI is learning from what we do as humans today, the lesson it's going to learn is that it's OK to tolerate mass cruelty, so long as it occurs behind closed doors. I think there's a risk that if it learns that, then it perpetuates that value, and perhaps slows human moral progress on this issue. Lewis Bollard In today's episode, host Luisa Rodriguez speaks to Lewis Bollard - director of the Farm Animal Welfare programme at Open Philanthropy - about the promising progress and future interventions to end the worst factory farming practices still around today. They cover: The staggering scale of animal suffering in factory farms, and how it will only get worse without intervention. Work to improve farmed animal welfare that Open Philanthropy is excited about funding. The amazing recent progress made in farm animal welfare - including regulatory attention in the EU and a big win at the US Supreme Court - and the work that still needs to be done. The occasional tension between ending factory farming and curbing climate change. How AI could transform factory farming for better or worse - and Lewis's fears that the technology will just help us maximise cruelty in the name of profit. How Lewis has updated his opinions or grantmaking as a result of new research on the "moral weights" of different species. Lewis's personal journey working on farm animal welfare, and how he copes with the emotional toll of confronting the scale of animal suffering. How listeners can get involved in the growing movement to end factory farming - from career and volunteer opportunities to impactful donations. And much more. Producer and editor: Keiran Harris Audio engineering lead: Ben Cordell Technical editing: Simon Monsour, Milo McGuire, and Dominic Armstrong Additional content editing: Katy Moore and Luisa Rodriguez Transcriptions: Katy Moore Highlights Factory farming is philosophically indefensible Lewis Bollard: Honestly, I hear surprisingly few philosophical objections. I remember when I first learned about factory farming, and I was considering whether this was an issue to work on, I went out to try and find the best objections I could - because I was like, it can't possibly just be as straightforward as this; it can't possibly just be the case that we're torturing animals just to save a few cents. And the only book I was able to find at the time that was opposed to animal welfare and animal rights was a book by the late British philosopher Roger Scruton. He wrote a book called Animal Rights and Wrongs. And I was really excited. I was like, "Cool, we're going to get this great philosophical defence of factory farming here." In the preface, the first thing he says is, "Obviously, I'm not going to defend factory farming. That's totally indefensible. I'm going to defend why you should st...

Today I interview Ruben Hassan, a Dutch podcaster and founder of the Aesthetic City podcast. Ruben shares his journey from being an engineer to becoming a full-time podcaster and filmmaker. We discuss the state of construction and development in the Netherlands and the importance of creating beautiful and sustainable built environments. We also explore the day-to-day life in the Netherlands, including transportation, education, and the value of beauty in society. The conversation covers various themes related to the built environment, society, and culture. Some of the key takeaways include the importance of prioritizing people and their well-being in urban planning and design, the need to address environmental and health issues alongside climate change, the tension between tradition and modernity, the role of institutions in shaping the world, and the emergence of countercultures as a response to societal challenges. We also touch on the Dutch farming protests and the value of different perspectives in shaping the built environment.

The Heritage Foundation and Alliance Defending Freedom are honored to announce that the renowned author and social activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali will deliver the 2024 Russell Kirk Lecture. Hirsi Ali has received innumerable awards and honors for her courageous opposition to political Islamism and vigorous advocacy of the besieged Western traditions of freedom of religion, inquiry, and speech. Her Russell Kirk Lecture will be an important extension of her thinking to the current upheavals in the Middle East and in Western culture and politics.Ayaan Hirsi Ali was born in Somalia in 1969 and was raised there, in Saudi Arabia, and in Kenya. In 1992, en route to an arranged marriage to a distant cousin, Hirsi Ali escaped to the Netherlands, where she eventually became a leading member of the Dutch Parliament. She came to the United States in 2006, accepting a fellowship at the American Enterprise Institute, and became an American citizen in 2013. Her dramatic life story and the evolution of her political thinking are related in her best-selling books Infidel (2006), Nomad (2010), Heretic (2015), and Prey (2021). She is a prolific essayist, and her recent “Why I Am Now a Christian” (UnHerd, Nov. 11, 2023) has attracted worldwide attention. Presently, Hirsi Ali is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and founder of the AHA Foundation.The namesake of the lecture, famed scholar Russell Kirk (1918–1994), established the philosophical foundations of the modern conservative movement with his landmark books The Conservative Mind (1953) and The Roots of American Order (1974). He was instrumental in the founding of National Review and Modern Age and was for many years a distinguished fellow of The Heritage Foundation.Kirk's political philosophy, summarized in his “six cannons of conservatism,” emphasized tradition and convention, transcendence and piety, political prudence, and ordered liberty. His application of those canons to contemporary issues, in a steady stream of essays, lectures, and newspaper columns, was always noteworthy and often provocative and controversial. Today, his works and legacy are being preserved and advanced by The Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal.The Russell Kirk Lecture Series recognizes eminent thinkers in the tradition of “the father of American conservatism.” Previous lecturers are Bishop Robert Barron, Robert George, Roger Scruton, Shelby Steele, George Nash, Robert Reilly, David Goldman, Roger Kimball, and Gary Saul Morson.

"Beauty demands to be noticed; it speaks to us directly like the voice of an intimate friend. If there are people who are indifferent to beauty, then it surely because they do not perceive it." - Roger Scruton, Beauty

Bestselling author & journalist Lionel Shriver is known for her “under-expressed, unpopular, or downright dangerous” views. She is the author of more than two dozen novels, but her latest book is more personal. In “Abominations: Selected Essays from a Career of Courting Self-Destruction,” Lionel presents a collection of her most provocative material on topics ranging from religion and mortality to gender and immigration. As a novelist, Lionel is an advocate for artistic freedom. She recently described censorship in the publishing industry in her Roger Scruton lecture at Oxford, titled “When Cowed Creatives Capitulate: Conformity and Bad Art.” She is particularly critical of the loss of beauty, style, and wit in modern fiction due to “rectitudinous, censorious, and sanctimonious” ideologies. Lionel's novels include “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” which the BBC adapted to film, and New York Times bestsellers “Should We Stay or Should We Go,” “So Much for That,” and “The Post-Birthday World.” She is a columnist for The Spectator and her articles have been published by The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, New York Times, and The Economist, among others.

Having published more than forty books on an astoundingly wide range of topics and holding noteworthy positions at the British Academy and the Royal Society of Literature, the University of Oxford, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and the University of Buckingham, Sir Roger Scruton was the quintessential British gentleman and scholar.  He was also one of the greatest conservative intellectuals of the last century and the beginning of this century who died in 2020.  Fisher Derderian joins Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis for a woefully incomplete exploration at the legacy of Scruton, including Scruton's contributions to American conservatism, his curious admiration of Friedrich Hegel, his spirited yet charitable critics of the thinkers of the New Left, and his inscrutable views on the Christian faith.   About Fisher Derderian Source – Scruton.org   Fisher Derderian is the Founder and Executive Director of the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation.  He met Sir Roger as a student in the MA Philosophy Programme at the University of Buckingham and the idea for the RSLF was subsequently conceived at a tutorial with Scruton.   Fisher currently resides in Orange County with his wife, Maxine, and their three children.  He serves as a member of the Arts Commission for the City of Costa Mesa.  Fisher holds a BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from The King's College NYC and a MA in Philosophy from the University of Buckingham.  You can follow Fisher on Twitter @Fisher_D   About the Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation Source – Scruton.org   The Roger Scruton Legacy Foundation is the centre of an international network of institutions and scholars dedicated to furthering the philosophical and cultural achievements of the West championed in Scruton's work.  Through the hosting and sponsoring of events, lectures, seminars, research and projects, the RSLF supports those dedicated to the achievements of Western philosophy, architecture, art and literature who are committed to living for ‘the vanished things' and teaching our great inheritance to the rising generations.  

Too many educational innovations are, ironically, taking teachers out of their own classrooms. The age-old dynamic of a teacher instructing students in a dedicated setting (or often peripatetically, as did Jesus and Socrates) is subtly giving way to diverse “delivery systems,” such as entirely on-line courses, hybrid courses, and the glamorous and world of the MOOC (massive open-source online classes). The justifications for such innovations are many, but criticisms are needed as well. Educational technologies need to be critiqued and used wisely, given their ubiquity and much-vaunted status. But before that, we need to think about the goal of teaching and the nature of knowledge. Students need knowledge and knowledge needs students, according to Roger Scruton. The purpose of teaching is to inculcate knowledge that needs to be known. The inherited wisdom the ages should not be lost through neglect or poor pedagogy—or by students who not inclined or not inspired to learn it. The classic idea of the university is to shape students to have a unified perspective on life, to make them well-rounded and independent thinkers.

Kate Adie presents stories from Israel, Gaza, Germany, New Caledonia and Hungary. Public pressure is growing on Israel's prime minister to secure the release of more than 200 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. Lucy Williamson has been talking to one man whose family was taken captive from Kibbutz Be'eri. Deirdre Finnerty spoke to an Irish-Palestinian family, who were visiting relatives in northern Gaza when the conflict began, and fled to Khan Younis. She hears about the struggle to access basic supplies and the risks faced on a daily basis. The German government has staunchly backed Israel's right to defend itself in the wake of the 7th October attacks by Hamas. Israeli security is, in fact, a cornerstone of German foreign policy. Some pro-Palestinian demonstrations have even been banned because of concerns about anti-Semitic slogans. That's led to clashes with police and debates about freedom of speech as Jessica Parker reports. New Caledonia is home to a small and diverse population. One of its many communities is made up of the descendants of Algerian exiles, who were deported in the late 19th century after uprisings against French colonial rule. Many lost their lives on the gruelling sea voyage from North Africa. Those who survived and settled brought their religion, customs and ancestral memories with them. Chahrazade Douah reports. The conservative British philosopher, Roger Scruton was a great personal friend of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Nick Thorpe reports from Budapest, on the intellectual love affair between the two men, and how ‘Scrutopia' now serves the Hungarian leader.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Matt McManus, a Lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan and the author of The Rise of Post-Modern Conservatism, joins the show to discuss his new book The Political Right and Equality: Turning Back the Tide of Egalitarian Modernity. Matt gives a sweeping history of the political right that tries to grapple, from a left social democratic perspective, with conservative thought since the French Revolution. In doing so Matt gets beyond the talking heads on FOX News or flamboyant characters like Alex Jones and Jordan Peterson, instead focusing on the most serious intellectual elements of the political right and how the left should/can respond to those elements. Moreover, Matt discusses the most reactionary segments of the political right in this conversation and their beliefs. Among the topics discussed in this conversation: - Aristotle and the Aristotelian universe in the political right; order and hierarchy in the thinking of the political right; modernity and the radical break from antiquity - Conservatism's relationship with liberals; conservative discomfort with liberalism - English conservative philosopher Roger Scruton's unpacking of liberalism; Roger Scruton and "The Unthinking Man"; agency and critical thinking as an entitlement of the higher orders of society (within the thought of the political right); - Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France, the sublime quality of the "Sun King", and monarchy - The thought of uber-reactionary Joseph de Maistre and his response to the events of the French Revolution - F.A. Hegel as conservative? and right-wing Hegelianism - Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky and his turn from Christian socialism to conservatism, his critique of socialism and liberalism in books like Demons, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky Contra Leo Tolstoy - Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment and Dostoyevsky's critique of scientifically-oriented material ontologies and utilitarianism; psychological reactions to ontological materialism - Utopianism vs. Anti-utopianism, hierarchy and social order/organization, and strawman arguments - The political right in the 20th century and particularly after WWII - The far-right and the transition to fascism from its antecedents on the right; anti-democratic thought amongst elements of the political right; blood and soil ideology - Nietzsche and the political right - Edifying myths, charismatic cults of personality, and fascism; brief discussion about Mussolini - Right-wing anti-capitalism; right-wing rejections of economistic worldviews - Noblesse oblige and the political right; an exploration of the emergent postliberal right - The New American Right of the 1950s; the three-legged stool of American conservatism: muscular anti-New Deal free market capitalism, anticommunist foreign policy hawks, and social conservatives (specifically white evangelical Christian social conservatives); American right-wing opposition to Civil Rights; the breaking down of the three-legged stool after the end of the Cold War and fall of the Soviet Union - The new formation of the American political right: National Conservatism, Postliberalism, and the Eugenicons or Nietzschean Right - The Peter Thiel/Curtis Yarvin segment of the 21st century American Right and Richard Hanania; Hayek's anti-conservatism, the political right, and neoliberalism; Ayn Rand - Ideological diversity of the 21st century right-wing - Patrick Deneen, Sohrab Ahmari, Michael Lind, and postliberal oppositions to figures like Bronze Age Pervert and white nationalist/eugenicist segments of the right - The possibility of a multiracial political right? - The thought of Russian philosopher/geopolitical thinker Aleksandr Dugin and the far-right

Greg answers questions about arguing for the existence of God based on the beauty we see in the world, what Paul means when he says we are “fellow heirs with Christ,” whether the Father poured out his wrath on Jesus at the cross, and a response to a neighbor's Halloween decorations.   Topics: Can we argue for the existence of God based on the beauty we see in the world? (01:00) What does it mean to be fellow heirs with Christ as Paul says in Romans 8:17? (18:00)  Is there a biblical case for saying the Father poured out his wrath on Jesus on the cross? (35:00) Did I go too far with my response to my neighbor's Halloween decorations?

Architectural historian Owen Hopkins has written or edited 16 books on architecture and his stories have appeared in Architectural Design, Dezeen, the Independent, and Blueprint, among many others. A graduate of the Courtauld Institute in London, Owen has served as architectural program curator at the Royal Academy of Arts, senior curator at Sir John Soane's Museum, and now the director of Newcastle University's new Farrell Centre. His latest book is about brutalism, those large concrete buildings many people love and King Charles and critics Roger Scruton and Dr. J. S. Curl and Justin Shubow hate hate hate hate hate.  Did we mention hate? As the book points out, Brutalist architecture inspires a passionate response, be it adulation or contempt. There's lots of both to go around.  Later on, music from some great architects, and their IT buddy, in a group called Poinsettia.

Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith— Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America. I. What is Christianity? A. Ultimate reality: an infinite-personal, triune, eternal God (Exodus 3:16) B. The universe is created by God out of nothing (Genesis 1; John 1) C. Humans made in God's image, but fallen (Genesis 1-3)      Have unique and incomparable value in God's world; basis for objective human rights (Genesis 1:26; Psalm 8)      Need redemption from a source beyond and above them (Romans 1-8) D. God has revealed himself in nature, Scripture, and Christ so that we might be redeemed, honor God, and be salt and light in the world (Romans 1:18-21; Hebrews 1:1-4) E. State and society are not identical (Matthew 22:16-23) F. Civil government is ordained by God, but not the ultimate authority      State has “the power of the sword” (Romans 13:1-7)      The danger of the sword (1 Samuel 8: Ezekiel 28:1-10; ; Isaiah 14:1-12; Revelation 13) G. The Kingdom of God is not fully realized through politics or human efforts and achievements II. What is Conservatism? A. Key figures: Edmund Burke, John Locke, Founding Fathers, Federalist Papers, F. Hayek, Russell Kirk, William F. Buckley, Richard Weaver, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Roger Scruton, Thomas Sowell B. Adopts the constrained vision of man not an unconstrained vision (Thomas Sowell, A Conflict of Visions)      American Revolution: inspired by theism through John Locke, Samuel Rutherford (Lex Rex) and others. Constrained vision      French revolution: inspired by Rousseau; irreligious and totalitarian. Unconstrained vision. C. Conservativism denies utopianism; the state cannot regenerate human beings or create a perfect world. See Thomas Sowell, The Vision of the Anointed D. Advances human rights as extended to property rights, which curtain the incursions of the state into private matters E. Advocates a limited state as one form of government that does not have jurisdiction to regular, control, and tax everything F. State as insuring natural negative rights: not be murdered or plundered G. Separation of powers as a safeguard against the consolidation of power Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely—Lord Acton. H. The state is under a higher authority and may lose its legitimation Declaration of Independence When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. American Constitution: First amendment as restraining state power Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Teaches the rule of law, not the whim of man; Democratic Republic (under a Constitution), not democracy or democratic socialism Free market is the best engine of wealth, best antidote to poverty, and gives freedom to individuals (Jeremiah 29:7) III. Conservatism and Christianity A. Christianity gives the best philosophical foundation for Conservatism      Authority of God over the state (and all else); basis for a limited state      Religious perspective (prophetic) can call the state to account for its abuses. Martin Luther King, “I Have a Dream”     The greatness and limits of human beings: the constrained vision             Human rights based on humans bearing the image of God (Genesis 1:26)             Humans cannot be saved or redeemed through politics.             Christians are given liberty in their salvation and through the wisdom and power of Holy Spirit; they must not worship the state, making it an idol Incentive to empowering the poor and philanthropy (Matthew 25:31-46) B. Qualifications 1. One does not have to be a conservative to be a Christian! 2. But, if one is a conservative there is good reason to be a Christian. 3.
