Friday Night Live 18 July 2025

In this episode, I explore morality through the lens of atheism and truth-telling, prompted by a provocative tweet questioning the reasons atheists have for honesty. Engaging with listeners, I discuss the lack of rigorous moral reasoning in modern atheism and the need for a secular ethics model that rivals religious moral frameworks. We examine philosophical concepts like universally preferable behavior (UPB) and the societal implications of dishonesty, while also considering free speech and the balance between social responsibility and personal integrity. The conversation invites listeners to reflect on their ethical beliefs in a changing world.

Wednesday Night Live Twitter Space 16 July 2025

In this episode, I explore the complexities of atheism and its relationship with morality and ethics, provoking a deep philosophical debate. I question the motivations behind ethical behavior in an atheistic context, contrasting it with religious frameworks that rely on divine moral codes. I express skepticism regarding modern atheism's ability to provide a solid ethical foundation, arguing that critiques of religious morality often overlook the necessity of alternative principles. Drawing on historical philosophical perspectives, I invite listeners to engage in self-reflection and critical examination of their beliefs. Through dynamic discussions with callers, I tackle themes of free will and the nature of choice, ultimately emphasizing the importance of ideal standards in ethical considerations. Join me as we navigate these profound questions that challenge our understanding of human existence.

I discuss how propaganda relies on reward and punishment rather than reason and reflect on the struggles of young men, urging resilience and awareness in personal relationships.
