What does it mean to do "good" as a human being? Is there such a thing as something that is fundamentally "good" or is that purely subjective? Should we follow our feelings and desires, or adhere to a set of rules or laws – like religion – that have been around for millennia?
Today's episode features a conversation with Caleb Crutchfield, founder of Collaborate Good, an organization that hosts workplace conversations with people from all different backgrounds and beliefs on questions related to society, culture, or individual flourishing.
In this episode, we discuss:
-Caleb’s background and what led him to doing this work.
-Whether there is an objective truth, whether everything is subjective, and how these questions relate to moral action in society.
-The question of “what humans are made for” and how this informs our values, beliefs, and social and political norms and rules.
-Whether we need religion to guide our behavior or whether we can make moral decisions without it.
-Whether technology and social media are “good.”
-The merits (and pitfalls) of casual sex, polygamy versus monogamy, and other moral conundrums in our modern world.
-And much more!
