#04: Why Don't We Help? Human Nature vs Morality

What this episode covers

In this episode, Ali Zaka and Abubakar Zaka explore Peter Singer’s influential essay “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” — and then push the debate further. Are humans truly moral, or are we naturally selfish and even capable of evil? Is Singer’s demand for radical altruism realistic?Through philosophy, psychology, religion, real-world examples, and deep ethical analysis, this podcast challenges Singer’s arguments, examines human nature, and presents a balanced view of morality in a world of poverty, famine, and inequality.A must-listen for students, teachers, philosophers, and anyone interested in ethics, charity, and the darker side of human behavior.You can also watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/qdr7f_1YuAA?si=RfvJ1847EvdghX_FSubscribe to our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@prometheans789?si=VtCykrYDfR4s-wkj
