Blind Insights - Experience Based Morality (Special Guest Peter Thomson)


Listen Later

In an obscure conversation about moral compasses, David and Tim discuss experiences with a special Guest Peter Thomson, and how they impact our moral decisions. In this episode, expect to hear some anecdotes, some tips and thoughts for consuming knowledge and some great book suggestions. It's one to make you think, "what is my moral compass, and how did I get here?". Peter, David, and Tim also discuss how the challenges that encourage moral learning are being stripped from western society gradually, and what consequences this has.
