Becoming Human episodes
- 7. A Guide to Changing Things - [How We Change]Finally, we can talk about how change practically works. We explore the various steps and look specifically at the Transtheoretical Stages of Change.42 min
- 6. A Guide to Changing Things - [Change & Resistance]Change is inevitable, but we will also inevitably resist change. Here are the three main reasons why we tend to avoid actually changing things.40 min
- 5. A Guide to Changing Things - [Change & Destination]This is really the first step to making changes. While it involves some wearying concepts like teleology and the ethics of moral reasoning, we have to start with knowing where we want to go before we can begin to manifest the process of getting there.36 min
- 4. A Guide to Changing Things - [The Dangers of Change]We take a brief detour to look at some approaches to change — especially ones that are not conducive to healthy outcomes.20 min
- 3. A Guide to Changing Things - [Can We Change?]Finding our humanity is a great idea and all, but is it even possible? Can we change?This episode ventures into process philosophy and explores everything from the pre-socratics to modern psychology — which only leads us to the conclusion that this might be the wrong question.33 min
- 2. Dance Partners - [Philosophy & Ethics, Part II]We take a deeper look into the polar spectrum of philosophy and ethics and use a couple different illustrative graphs to help us find the balance that properly merges intellect and behavior.29 min
- 1. The Examined Life - [Philosophy & Ethics, Part I]Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Yet, our culture doesn’t seem to have an appropriate relationship towards examination or living. The process of becoming human must involve both. Therefore, we explore the collaboration between philosophy and ethics.The spectral poles of intellectualism and ethics needs to be reviewed so as to nurture the pursuits of theory and practice as dance partners.36 min
- What is Becoming Human?
What is Becoming Human?
It’s an infinite conversation, really. What does it mean to be alive? How should we live? What is the best, healthiest way to exist and do all of the things that make up life? But then, how ought we engage in relationships and communication? How should we belong in society and culture? How ought we live in the world?
There’s a lot to explore.
And even more questions to ask.
But that’s what we are here to do.
I’m Tyler Kleeberger and consider me a curator of these conversations. I am, conveniently, a nerd so I see it as my job to go and discover everything I can about a topic or idea and use any field imaginable — from philosophy to psychology, economics to history, and everything in between — and then share it with you.
All so that we can become the best versions of ourselves and build the best world possible. It’s all about learning the content of the world and then asking, “What do we do with this? What ought this look like?” It’s theory and practice; ideas and ethics.
I hope you’ll consider going on this journey with me. We’re trying to get smarter and live better. You can listen on any streaming service or find more information at tylerkleeberger.com.
Let’s learn, let’s grow, and let’s become more human.
