| Last Call: Three Podcast Topics, You Choose One Posted: 30 Aug 2010 11:00 AM PDT Right now, I'm crazy-busy with the final push to complete Ari Armstrong's and my major update to our policy paper against the "personhood" movement. We've put a ton more work into it than we thought, and we're really pleased with the results. Still, we have much work to do! Time is also running short on another project of mine, namely the pledge drive for my next podcast. It closes tomorrow at noon. You'll find all the details in this blog post. But in essence, your pledges will determine which of the following three topics that I cover -- if I podcast at all. (Right now, I've not collected sufficient funds to make the podcast worth my doing.) The three topics are: - Irrational Family Members: How can we be consistently rational and selfish in our dealings with irrational, altruistic, and/or religious family members? When should you tolerate people you dislike or that you judge immoral? How can you make those people more tolerable -- or even acceptable? What should you do if that's not possible? When should cut off relations with someone? How can you explain what you're doing and why to your better family members?
- Sense of Life: What is "sense of life"? What is its importance to a person's life? How do you identify your own sense of life? How do you identify that of others? How does sense of life impact our thinking, feelings, and choices? How does it impact our relations with other people, including friendship and romance? How is sense of life revealed in our responses to art? What is the relationship between a person's sense of life and his explicit philosophy? Can sense of life be changed? If so, how?
- Value Density: What is value density? How and why do people fail to seek value density in their lives? How can we make our lives more value dense? How does the concept apply to our purchases, what we eat, our relationships, productivity, vacations, education, and social events, for example?
The deadline for pledges is August 31st at noon. If people pledge enough money to make this 30 to 60 minute podcast worth my while, I'll produce it by September 10th. The topic will be whichever of the three above topics that receives the most money in total pledges. So you can pledge on more than one topic, if you like, knowing that you'll only owe one pledge in the end. Most importantly, only the people who pledged on that particular topic will receive the podcast.If you want to pledge, here's the pledge form: If you have any questions, check out this blog post.  |
| Reminder: Rationally Selfish Q&A Posted: 30 Aug 2010 07:00 AM PDT This week's voting on the next question for my Rationally Selfish Q&A closes at 10 AM (MT) on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I'll post the answer to the most popular question. Right now, we have six questions, but none have gotten a ton of votes. So here they are: - "I have a terminal illness (cancer) that's getting in the way of my daily life, which includes a full-time job and college. Is it moral to stop working and go on disability?"
- "What are your thoughts on people who complain about their problems but never pursue to solve them, or, worse, actively evade and ignore solutions that confront them? E.g. a student who complains about his budget but continues to spend irrationally."
- "Could you give or recommend a set of guidelines for blog/online discussion etiquette? How can someone maximize their benefit from online discussions and relationships?"
- "Is there a principle of Objectivism which justifies and requires kindness to other people (not necessarily going out of one's way, but treating others 'like human beings' and a basic level of respect), or is it just an issue of reciprocity?"
- "How would you treat an adult child who wishes to move back home after a history of poor self-control and irresponsible choices?"
- "I am a 20-something girl with ambitious career goals and a strong desire to have a family. How did you decide to pursue a career rather than having children? Do you have any advice about how to go about making the decision?"
Good questions! If you have a preference about which question I answer, go vote! Remember that you can vote against the questions you don't want answered, as well as for the question you want answered. Oh, and you can start posting questions for next week too!  |
