#53 The Existential Crisis
August 15, 2020 07:59 - 22 minutes - 51.9 MBI regularly ask myself something along the lines of "F*ck, why do I wake up in the morning? Is it always going to be this cyclical?" At the moment, I feel aimless; directionless; purposeless; confused; displaced; uprooted. I feel very uncertain about my past, present, and future. Is it ok to feel this way? Probably? Will my life be punctuated by these crises? Probably? I reflect on all of these things in this episode. Enjoying Aleks Listens? You can support it on Patreon, — or PayPal — for m...
#52 The Ethics of Capitalism w/ Dr. Dan Halliday
August 07, 2020 08:53 - 1 hour - 236 MBI sat down with political philosopher Dan Halliday, lecturer at the The University of Melbourne, and spoke about Capitalism.

#49 Cancel Culture and Echo Chambers (and virtue signalling)
July 07, 2020 05:53 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBPeople always talk about cancelled people or cancelling people. People also tend towards other people who agree with the big things they agree with.

#48 The Importance of the Humanities - Conservatives, 1984, and Democracy
July 03, 2020 04:29 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MBIn light of the recent (proposed) price increases for humanities degrees in Australia, I thought I'd make an episode to reflect on what this could actually mean. Can the price increases be justified? Are they a waste of time? (What the f do you think!?) Enjoying Aleks Listens?

June 21, 2020 06:15 - 32 minutes - 45 MBI reflect on the past three weeks and its cognitive curveballs.

#43 Prof Greg Restall - Logic, Society, Belief, and the Self
May 27, 2020 07:18 - 1 hour - 105 MBToday I spoke with Greg Restall, Professor of Philosophy and Logic at The University of Melbourne. The conversation began with me asking Greg to explain what 'Philosophical Logic' even is.

May 22, 2020 04:24 - 54 minutes - 74.4 MBExistentialism is one of the most important elements of Being a person.

April 19, 2020 01:26 - 34 minutes - 47.5 MBToday I sat down and reflected on the relationship between preventable human suffering, wealth, and doing the right thing. This episode is based on an essay by Peter Singer called "Famine, Affluence, and Morality" written in 1972. Essentially, Singer claims that it is a moral requirement for us to minimise preventable human suffering if we are in a position where donating to effective charities will not jeopardise a reasonable level of comfort in our lives.

April 09, 2020 06:29 - 58 minutes - 79.7 MBToday I analyse one of the most important essays of the 20th century - Bertrand Russell's "In Praise of Idleness".
