You Can Learn How to Love Bullies! Freedomain Livestream Call In
In this episode, I analyze the debate between Michel Foucault and Noam Chomsky on human nature, expressing frustrations about their unclear definitions. I discuss Foucault's controversial life and its irony alongside his philosophical influence, while connecting his ideas on power to contemporary ethical dilemmas and societal scrutiny.
Engaging with callers, we explore the effects of upbringing on self-worth and the importance of confronting our pasts. I emphasize self-assertiveness and the need to reflect critically on the narratives that shape our lives, encouraging listeners to align their choices with personal values and societal realities.

"Since you are all very clever readers, you will be replying to me in your mind something along the lines of this: 'Ah, you say, Mr. Philosopher, that no one can accurately predict the future, but you also state that hitting children has negative outcomes!'
That is certainly true – both that I make that claim, and that hitting children does have generally negative outcomes.
However, we do not judge the morality of hitting children based upon positive or negative outcomes.
For instance, we know that state control of the economy leads to massive inefficiencies – but we don't judge the morality of state control of ...
