SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE

Carlos Santos gives an introduction of the theme for season 2. He explores the complex relationship between desire, ethics, and meaning.

He challenges the conventional view that desires are obstacles to a meaningful life, proposing instead that they can serve as gateways to morality and purpose.

The season will delve into how desires lead to conflict, which in turn demands ethical considerations, ultimately guiding us toward a more meaningful existence.

This is a conversation with one of my close friends, Hugo, who is 25 years old. Hugo was diagnosed in October 2023 with stomach-gastric cancer, stage 4 (terminal cancer). It is one of the most difficult cancers to treat.

Hugo has been given a life expectancy of approximately 10 months. He has been fighting cancer undergoing chemotherapy for 7 months.

In this conversation we talk about how he found out the news, his emotional state, how he fights daily to maintain a positive attitude despite the prognosis.

This conversation was initially done in Spanish. The video went viral and a lot of Hugo's friends do not speak Spanish. That is why we sat down again to have the conversation in English. In case you want to listen to the Spanish conversation, here you can find the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oYn26dUJZU&ab_channel=CarlosSantosAguirreES

Meritocracy is the idea that those who make the most effort deserve to be where they are. In other words, if some people have more economic success and accomplishments than others is because they have worked harder. In this podcast series on meritocracy, I will analyze critically the different aspects the meritocratic ideal takes for granted.

Also, I will show how this way of interpreting reality can lead us into harmful ways of living our lives and treating others.

This episode is part 4 to the podcast series on meritocracy. I have a conversation with one of my best friends Tristen Sleeper. We talk about why the place of generosity and gratitude in our lives. This is the last episode of the series and season 1 of the podcast: This is the line-up:

#1 Why a society based on merit can’t fix inequality.

#2 Why nobody “deserves” what they have.

#3 Why letting the market decide what is valuable is a terrible idea.

#4 Would an anti-meritocratic society be a better society?
