Episode PART 2: Can AI and humans love each other? Cover

PART 2: Can AI and humans love each other?

Artificial intelligence is now everywhere. And with the ease of AI and the difficulties of human relationships, a growing population is forgoing human relationships to instead develop relationships with AI. What’s going on here, philosophically: Are these relationships legitimate? Is the love mutual? Can it ever be? Today’s episode, we consider the second half of these relationships—can humans love AI? Along the way, we talk about: * Degrees of love * To what degree we can love AI * The impacts of choosing an AI relationship over a human one Here’s Part 1 [https://open.substack.com/pub/justquestionspod/p/part-1-can-ai-and-humans-love-each?r=5bagv9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true].

PART 1: Can AI and humans love each other?

Artificial intelligence is now everywhere. And with the ease of AI and the difficulties of human relationships, a growing population is forgoing human relationships to instead develop relationships with AI. What’s going on here, philosophically: Are these relationships legitimate? Is the love mutual? Can it ever be? Today’s episode, we consider just one half of these relationships—can AI love humans? To do so, we evaluate: * Various definitions of love * Whether AI can meet the requirements of these different definitions * If AI can’t meet those requirements now, can it ever meet them? Stay tuned for Part 2!

Episode Why does leisure matter? Cover

Why does leisure matter?

In today’s hustle culture, taking a break can feel like a guilty pleasure. But leisure has its own valuable role to play in our mental and physical health. That’s why today, we’re talking about why leisure matters just as much as (and maybe a bit more than!) work. Today’s episode, we consider: * The benefits of work and leisure * Theories on why work is overvalued and leisure undervalued * What “good” leisure looks like Take a break and give it a listen!

Episode Do you have a duty to take care of your health? Cover

Do you have a duty to take care of your health?

So many New Year’s resolutions are rooted in health goals. Healthy habits are so highly praised that trying to be healthy is practically seen as a moral obligation. Should it be? Today’s episode, we consider: * What’s at stake when we’re deciding whether being healthy should be a moral duty * The arguments in favor of health as a duty * Potential consequences of living in a world where health really does become a duty Sources: The Burden of Chronic Disease - PMC [https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10830426/] Leading Causes of Death - FastStats [https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm] Trends in Multiple Chronic Conditions Among US Adults, By Life Stage, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2013–2023 [https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2025/24_0539.htm] Patients have an ethical obligation to their health [https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/instance/1374981/pdf/jmedeth00250-0028.pdf] Personal responsibility within health policy: unethical and ineffective [https://www.jstor.org/stable/26879653?seq=1] On the person in personal health responsibility [https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9233776/pdf/12910_2022_Article_802.pdf] A Philosophy of Health: Life as Reality, Health as a Universal Value [https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-020-0420-9.pdf] This is a public episode.
