Is Morality About Kindness?

In this episode, I examine the complexities of moral philosophy, focusing on the concept of evil and its relationship to intentional harm. I challenge simplified definitions and highlight the balance between short-term pain and long-term benefit through various examples, including medical procedures and parental discipline.

The discussion critiques the "do no harm" principle, revealing its potential to justify harmful actions for perceived greater goods. By addressing moral disputes and emphasizing the importance of objective guidelines, I advocate for clarity in moral systems. I conclude by sharing personal insights on navigating moral dilemmas, aiming to equip listeners with a framework for ethical decision-making.
