    How Should We Live?

    In this episode we discuss the ethical topics that face us today on how people should act. Are there a million different ways to live a good life or are there some absolutes that are built into the human experience? Here's what we hit on: nutrition, marriage, having kids, duty, and more. Trigger warning: infant loss — towards the end of our conversation we talk about Baby Fin and the future we are facing with his birth & short (but precious) life.

We use Plato's Republic as a launching point to dive in to the hot topic of censorship.Starting with government censorship and media censorship, we then explore censorship surrounding kids. Is there a difference? Who is allowed to influence our children and how much control over this should parents have?...

    Is Socializing Your Kids...a Good Thing?

    Humans are “social creatures” — but are there times when socialization can be a bad thing? How much socialization do we *actually* need, and how much (and what type) should our children be exposed to?We start off by looking at two opposing philosophical viewpoints on this subject from Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Thomas Hobbes.
