Listen "3456 FINDING TRUTH - Call In Show - October 12th, 2016"
Episode Synopsis
Question 1: [2:50] - “How can it be that Greek philosophers, questioning the objective intelligibility of lowly matter, human thinking? Analyzing the moving and material world, they started the most comprehensive and accurate scrutiny of reality of all times, including the search for the immortal soul and for the transcendent Being that we call God. How can this be? I personally see Aristotle as the culmination of this ancient Greek realism - you'll probably agree. And now that modern science is often used to limit our freedom (maybe even more than religion ever did), how can we retrace universal truth?”Question 2: [50:24] - I’m a young woman who is struggling to find a quality man (of my own age) to share my life with, how can I improve my searching and raise the chance to meet someone? I travel, go out every weekend, have a big social circle of friends and a job where I meet a lot of people, is there something wrong with me or the big cities? Do I scare away good men by dressing up or do I simply have a bad judgement when I end up either single or with the wrong guys?”Question 3: [2:14:47] - “Do you think all ethical actions can be summed up as follows: actions which increase net available human time are good, and those which destroy it are bad?”Question 4: [2:34:45] - “Awhile back Stefan did a review for Doom. Since then I've been hungry for more in depth video game discussion, as most people who cover video games stay away from deeper discussion of the art form. I'm of the opinion the fledgling post-modern art form of video game entertainment is one of the deepest creative experiences you can have as an audience. However, I'm a little short in the tooth. I was not around for the induction of home gaming (1980s, Atari consoles, etc.) and thus have only seen it evolve from the stage I jumped in at (Around the late 90s). Is this art form as promising and full of potential as I (and others in my age group) think it is? What do we have to do to protect the ethical and moral production and covering of the Video Games industry? (See - Gamergate) I'd also love to hear both your thoughts on the new frontier of VR and its applications outside of video entertainment.”Question 5: [3:11:14] - “I am a conservative and an atheist. Too often have I heard from other atheists, leftists and even libertarians that morality is ambiguous. Can atheists be moral? If so, how can I, as an atheist, counter these types of arguments and assert some sense of moral certitude?"Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
