[Ep.18] The Truth Shall Set You Free
Manage episode 286454593 series 2576113
Kade Roundy and I follow up on our previous discussion (Ep. 10) about the principles of libertarian, government, war, ethics and societal values. We approach these topics in the context of humanity's vulnerability to deception. People's beliefs and behaviours can be manipulated by messages of false history, false news-reporting, false scientific publishing, etc. Through various historic examples and personal experiences we reason about ways to rise above the lies and perceive the world in its true form.
Benjamin Franklin quote:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Ethics: Utilitarianism vs. Deontology

Sam Harris has authored books and hosts a podcast on topics such as rationality, religion, ethics, free will, neuroscience:
