Being Really Loaft

End of Life Care

Today David is joined by Nathan Holwell to discuss end of life care. Nathan lost his mother to cancer, and David lost 3 of his grandparents to cancer, and they discuss the complicated topic of how long should you extend someone's life. Is it indefinitely? What quality of life does someone at the end of life deserve? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Is Privilege Real?

Today David is joined by Gabriel Shipley to discuss the idea of Privilege. David has a hard time dismissing the concept outright, but disagrees with most things he reads about it. Gabe helps him tease it apart, whether it is valid and where it manifests. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

EQUALITY | Equal is Unfair

Today David is joined by Don Watkins, author of Equal is Unfair. They discuss what equality actually is and how Don believes that there is something inherently unjust with the notion of equality. We also discuss why Don cares as much as he does about this topic. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS | Saying the N Word

Today we are joined in The Safe Space by Rucka Rucka Ali, a top charting comedy rapper. We discuss the use of the N word, which we think is important more broadly with respect to how we treat language and concepts. Why does Rucka use this word, why do some people get offended by it but others don't? Let us know your thoughts! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Being Really Loaft

Today I am joined by Brian Anderson, who I met while traveling in Panama. He and I discuss whether or not he is lazy, and what his values are. Is a common association of laziness with stupidity valid, and would people like me benefit from being a bit "more lazy"? We also discuss how he feels about having his intelligence and drive questioned. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
