Self Interest

Twitter Space 15 July 2025In this episode, I explore the foundations of ethics and morality in the context of atheism, questioning the source of truthfulness without God. I challenge atheists to articulate their own rationale for morality, critiquing common justifications that often lack depth. Through personal anecdotes and listener engagement, I examine the implications of self-interest in ethical reasoning and stress the importance of accountability. This dialogue promotes a re-evaluation of moral principles, aiming to establish a coherent ethical framework that guides our interactions in a secular world.FOLLOW ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxGET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Ben Bayer joins Five Minutes with Robert & Amy Nasir LIVE, to discuss his 2025 OCON talk, "America Should Declare Independence from Altruism". We'll ask Dr. Bayer about the State Of The (Moral/Philosophical) Union, how the response to the 2000 pandemic made starkly clear the common moral framework of both America's "left" and "right", why, in Ben's words, "as the right becomes so similar to the left, it is so hostile" to it.  We'll also discuss the decline of "Effective Altruism" and "Longtermism", and why Ayn Rand's morality of self-interest is essential in resolving these failures, injustices, and contradictions. 

Grandpa Bill Overviews my upcoming AUDIO show forthcoming a bit later today. The Maine Mentor Moments in Business and in Life. Today, I want to share a 'tidbit' that really shaped my journey, especially my decision to leave corporate America back in '95 and go solo. It's about a concept called 'Ethical Egoism,' and trust me, understanding it might just change how you view the business world, and even your own choices.So, what exactly is Ethical Egoism? Well, it's a philosophical idea that basically says: you should act in your own self-interest. Not just that people do act that way, but that it's the right thing to do. It's a theory that praises actions that put your own interests first, and it suggests you're morally obligated to avoid worrying about others if it doesn't benefit you directly. Think of it this way: if it helps you, it's good. It comes in a couple of flavors – individual, where I look out for my own interests, and universal, where everyone should look out for their own interests.Now, here's where it gets really interesting, and where it ties directly into the idea of 'expediency' – doing what's practical or convenient, even if it seems a bit questionable. For an ethical egoist, an action is morally right only if it benefits the person doing it. Take something simple like telling the truth. An ethical egoist wouldn't say truth-telling is inherently good. Instead, they'd say you should tell the truth because lying might come back to bite  you and negatively impact your happiness. So, principles, in this view, become secondary to personal advantage. They're useful tools that can be set aside if they get in the way of your own gain.This concept really resonated with me as I navigated the corporate landscape. I saw a growing trend where decisions, especially in the pursuit of profit, seemed to be driven less by universal ethical principles and more by what was immediately advantageous for individuals or the company, regardless of the broader impact. It felt like a lot of 'principles' were being sacrificed on the altar of 'expediency.' This wasn't just about bad apples; it felt like a systemic shift, a 'self-interest as the moral compass' approach becoming increasingly prevalent. And that, my friends, was a big part of why I decided to chart my own course and go solo. I wanted to operate with a different compass.But here's the kicker: Ethical Egoism isn't without its serious flaws. Critics point out that it offers no real way to resolve conflicts between people, because if everyone is only looking out for themselves, what happens when interests clash? It could even obligate you to stop others from doing what's 'right' if it doesn't serve  your interest. And perhaps the biggest criticism is that it's logically self-defeating if everyone adopted it. An ethical egoist wouldn't want everyone else to be an egoist, because it would work against their own best interest if others weren't acting altruistically towards them! It's a fascinating, albeit problematic, idea.   So, as you reflect on your own business and life journeys, consider this: Are the decisions you see, or even make, truly principled, or are they leaning towards expediency driven by self-interest? It's a question worth pondering, especially if you're looking to build something truly sustainable and meaningful.

This week, Pastor Jesse explores Judges 17–18, where we see the tragic effects Israel living without a king—doing whatever seemed right in their own eyes. We witness a downward spiral: idolatry, greed, and lawlessness, and at every turn, God's people trade faithful obedience for a more convenient, self-made religion. Pastor Jesse challenges us to consider […] The post Judges 17-18 – Anarchy, Idolatry, and Self-Interest: A Nation with No King appeared first on Sierra Bible Church.

Why does every conversation about climate change feel like we're being asked to sacrifice something? Josh Dorfman, host of the popular Supercool podcast, reveals how this narrative is completely backwards. From Formula-E racing that attracts 500 million viewers without mentioning climate to pneumatic trash systems that make cities cleaner while cutting carbon by 90%, Josh shares how the most effective climate solutions are actually upgrading modern life rather than restricting it. Discover why we're not in an age of climate awareness anymore but rather an "age of adoption," where $2 trillion in annual clean energy investment is quietly revolutionizing everything from home electrification to urban design. Learn about innovative financing approaches that put your money to work for climate solutions while you sleep, and why the future of sustainability isn't about guilt—it's about better living.Subscribe to Most Podern on:Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3zYvX2lRZOpHcZW41WGVrpApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-podern-podcast/id1725756164Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@MostPodernInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/most.podernLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/most-podernLinksSupercool Podcast and Newsletter: https://getsuper.cool/Supercool on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTcMrkjAmgqzv6Jhg6-V52gShRWKdc3t4&si=LXeo-aUlGkoiQbjiSupercool on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/supercool/id1758404839Supercool on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4IUql4twk6OLOl8FTIwN5ZJosh Dorfman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dorfmanjosh/Keywordsclimate solutions, sustainability, clean energy investment, electrification, climate tech, renewable energy, Formula E racing, sustainable cities, climate finance, carbon reduction, solar energy, battery storage, climate innovation, green technology, urban planning, sustainable transportation, climate action, environmental technology, clean energy transition, climate entrepreneurship, urban design, architecture, builodingsChapters00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:24 - Challenges in Climate Change00:01:37 - The Slow Progress of Sustainability00:03:35 - The Rise of Sustainability00:04:23 - Personal Journey into Sustainability00:04:37 - The Emergence of Sustainable Design00:07:44 - The Growth of the Sustainability Movement00:10:22 - Sustainability Becomes Cool00:12:10 - The Profitability of Sustainability00:12:56 - The Future of Sustainability00:15:09 - Ingenious Energy Efficiency00:16:09 - The Clean Energy Revolution00:20:03 - The Cost and Adoption of Solar Energy00:20:52 - The Transition to Cleaner Energy Sources00:24:36 - The Role of Policy in Energy Transition00:27:53 - Global Sustainability Efforts00:30:15 - The Cultural Shift Towards Sustainability00:30:47 - Sustainable Urban Planning: The NVAC System00:34:34 - The Role of Leadership in Sustainable Urban Planning00:35:20 - The Success of Sustainable Housing Renovations in Lincoln, Nebraska00:37:13 - The Challenge of Thinking Outside the Box00:42:27 - The Role of Self-Interest in Sustainability00:42:57 - The Success of Formula E and Sustainability in Entertainment00:46:11 - Sustainable Changes in Cities: Examples from Around the World00:49:28 - Individuals Making a Difference in Climate Change00:49:53 - Innovative Financial Tools for Climate Change00:52:27 - The Current Moment in Sustainability: The Age of Adoption

Fr. Mike highlights Hezekiah's goodness as king of Judah, but also points out his failure to protect his people's future. While Hezekiah let his self-interest cloud his judgment, we are reminded to pray for those who will come after us, doing our best to preserve what will be theirs one day.

Smoking in elevators, movie theatres, or airplanes. Goaltenders playing hockey in the NHL without a mask. Burning tons of coal to generate electricity. Today, we look back at these practices and wonder, how did we ever allow that to happen? Because today, of course, we know better. But what about the future? What do we do today that future generations will shake their heads at? And how do we chart a different path to ensure we make better decisions going forward?

"I could be a stupid person and say, 'Oh no, we don't want a free plane.' We give free things out—we'll take one, too. And it helps us out. I would never be one to turn down that kind of offer. I mean, I could be a stupid person and say, 'No, we don't want a free, very expensive airplane.'" President Donald Trump announced he'll use a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar as his new Air Force One and plans to give it to his personal foundation when he leaves office. Critics say it's the latest sign he's blurring the lines between governing and self-dealing. Shortly after that remark in Riyadh, Trump lifted U.S. sanctions on Syria, now that Bashar al-Assad is gone. He urged Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords and called on Iran to sit down with the U.S. over its nuclear program. This marks Trump's first major overseas trip of his second term, aimed at locking in trade deals after his tariff blitz. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We explore the future of communication through the lens of conflict, with Lena Morgan, former midwife turned conflict resolution specialist. Zoë shares updates from Planet Human, reflecting on the scathing insights from the Edelman Trust Barometer and her return from the Australian Alpine Walking Track. The Kickstarter for her latest book, Power Games, is on the horizon. Then we welcome Lena Morgan, creator of The Fight Languages. Lena unpacks how understanding our instinctive conflict responses can turn tension into connection. Drawing on her experience in high-stress environments, she shares how organisations can transform culture by decoding these ‘fight languages.' This episode delves into how somatic intelligence, leadership presence, and emotional fluency are crucial in today's polarised environments.   SHOWNOTES are here: https://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/conflict-resolution-fight-languages    Power Games: https://www.zoerouth.com/power-games Zoë's Substack: https://substack.com/@zoerouth Planet Human: Edelman Trust Barometer reveals collapsing trust in key institutions, with growing class divides and despair. https://www.edelman.com/trust-barometer   Key Quotes: "Conflict is information—it tells us what matters most to people." – Lena Morgan "Assume self-interest, not good intent. That's how we keep eyes wide open and hearts open." – Zoë Routh "We all stay in the fight too long. The real skill is knowing when to pause and pivot." – Lena Morgan   Questions Asked: What are the five fight languages and how do they show up in teams? How can leaders manage their own conflict response before addressing others'? Why is somatic intelligence essential in high-stakes conversations? How can we better support extinguishers, amplifiers, and analyzers in a workplace?   Take Action: Notice your personal conflict pattern. Are you an igniter, amplifier, negotiator, analyzer, or extinguisher? Use Lena's techniques to pause and pivot—whether it's through movement, silence, or strategic escape. Open dialogue with your team about how they experience tension. Use the fight language framework to foster mutual understanding.   Tip of the Week Create a “fight language map” with your team. Identify each member's default response and explore ways to better support one another in high-tension moments.   Key Moments 00:00 Introduction and Weekly Theme 00:23 Edelman Trust Barometer Report 01:30 Restoring Trust in Systems 02:36 Positive Aspects in Australia 03:27 Personal Update and Upcoming Projects 04:24 Assuming Good Intent in Conflict 05:24 Exploring Power Games and Self-Interest 08:25 Interview with Lena Morgan: Fight Languages 16:25 Understanding Different Fight Languages 22:44 Understanding the Analyzer's Perspective 23:26 Introducing the Extinguishers 24:41 Navigating Mixed Fight Languages 26:10 Starting with Your Own Fight Language 27:22 Techniques for Managing Fight Responses 29:45 Handling Different Fight Languages 35:51 The Fast Three Questions 37:34 The Importance of Conflict in Relationships and Business 38:24 Conclusion and Resources

The EDGE untangles the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) with SEO veterans Mike Blumenthal, Greg Sterling, and David Mihm. This episode reveals how Google's strategic maneuvers in Europe are reshaping the SERP landscape and challenging the status quo in local search. With a strong research effort of the last two years, our guests dissect Google's attempts to comply with the DMA, such as the introduction of the Places Sites Tab, Carousel and the decoupling of the Local Pack from Google Maps. Despite these efforts, user behavior tells a different story—one where Google's new features are largely ignored. It seems the Local Pack is still the go-to destination for users, regardless of these new additions. Meanwhile, the episode exposes an intriguing juxtaposition in the hotels vertical, where booking.com emerges as a formidable player through ad dominance, highlighting a complex dance between market giants. This scenario sparks a discussion on whether Google's self-preferencing tendencies are truly being curtailed or simply rebranded. Join us as we explore how Google's “play nice” strategies may just be a façade amidst ongoing DOJ antitrust pressure.

There's a logos in the spiritual world also, and that's what Brahma was able to meditate on through the mantra—the divine logos in which, the center in which is Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa in Śvetadvīpa, the pinnacle of the spiritual world. So, the verse I just quoted mentions through this tapas, through this meditation on Kṛṣṇa, as Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā man-manā bhava mad-bhakto (BG 18.65): that meditate on—just meditate on me. How do you do it? Through the mantra. Then He says this very important next step: atha veṇu-ninādasya trayī-mūrti-mayī gatiḥ sphurantī praviveśāśu mukhābjāni svayambhuvaḥ gāyatrīṁ gāyatas tasmād adhigatya sarojajaḥ saṁskṛtaś cādi-guruṇā dvijatām agamat tataḥ trayyā prabuddho 'tha vidhir vijñāta-tattva-sāgaraḥ tuṣṭāva veda-sāreṇa stotreṇānena keśavam Brahma-saṁhitā (5.27,28) So now, in his meditation, he hears the flute song of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and that flute song of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, this is the Gāyatrī. Now, this is a very sweet understanding or fact is that enlightenment comes from music.In the spiritual world. Every gopī, every devotee, has his or her own rāga through which they worship Kṛṣṇa. And in fact, the amazingly Bhāgavatam says or commentary on the Bhāgavatam says, every living species has its own rāga. And this sound vibration, accompanied by the Vedic rhythm called the Gāyatrī—Gāya means song, and tri means trāyate, to deliver through the song that comes from Kṛṣṇa's flute—then Brahma hears it as om. AUM means there's a relationship. We have a relationship, yay! with the..

Moment #89 // You can tell the character of a leader by watching what they do under pressure. Some choose to do what's in the best interests of their team and their company. Others just let gravity take over, and head down the slippery slope of self-interest.If you want to be a strong leader – a person of character – you need to work out how to overcome your self-interest.I stumbled across an awesome hack many years ago that was pivotal for me in learning to put my own self-interest aside.

In this episode, I address a listener's inquiry about universal morality and the challenges of engaging with politicians who often undermine this principle. I critique the duality of political figures masking self-interest behind a facade of moral authority, comparing them to predators in nature. The discussion explores the difficulties of managing violent or deceitful individuals within communities, suggesting strategies like ostracism and confinement while recognizing their ethical complexities. I underscore the need for clear boundaries and accountability, asserting that true engagement relies on shared values of reason and respect, prompting listeners to reflect on morality and authority in a complex world.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, the interactive multi-lingual philosophy AI trained on thousands of hours of my material, private livestreams, premium call in shows, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2022

“The beautiful and good person neither fights with anyone…” Epictetus says in Discourses. This isn't to say that agreeableness is the goal of life, but certainly acceptance and tolerance is.

Fr. Mike highlights the goodness of Hezekiah as king of Judah but also points out his failure to protect the future of his people. While Hezekiah let his self-interest cloud his judgment, we are reminded to pray for those who will come after us, doing our best to preserve what will be theirs one day.
