Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

Ep. #577: Pat Flynn on Morality, Freedom, and Personal Responsibility


Listen Later

My podcasts with Pat Flynn often delve into philosophical tangents and fortunately, have become especially popular.

The concepts we cover don’t just apply to fitness either. They can affect your whole mindset and offer life-changing benefits.

So, why not embrace the asides and dive even deeper?

In this episode, Pat and I talk about …

- What relativism is and whether or not truth is objective
- The purpose of freedom
- The nature of morality
- Modern politics and the trajectory of America’s 2-party system
- Our obligations towards others and ourselves in regards to health
- And more …
