3140 ICE CREAM FASCISM - Call In Show - November 27th, 2015

Question 1: [1:31] - Aristotle poses "A is A". Aristotle tries to create rules to which this world conforms, but neglects to question 'what is this world?' Do our descriptions form what we perceive? Do you think that finding some answers to these questions can make our lives better? Is there any practical impact of such examinations on our day to day life?Question 2: [43:20] - I am a college student majoring Exercise Physiology with a focus in Biomedical Sciences. I am awaiting admissions decisions to medical schools and want to use my possible future career to spread peaceful parenting from a unique perspective. What are some potential ramifications of taking a specialty like pathology and applying it to philosophy? Question 3: [1:17:15] - Despite being a hardcore anarcho-capitalist and following the non-aggression principle towards my children, I have a disturbing feeling that I'm raising children who are going to be communists. I’m scared as hell, please help!Question 4: [2:14:40] - I've recently finished reading the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Duma. The book left me pondering the overlap and or comparability of revenge with virtue. Can one seek to punish evil or seek revenge against someone who has done evil to them without seeking to advance virtue and still be good? Is the act of revenge or seeking retribution good, bad or simply an aesthetic preference? What of those who are harmed along the way? Is it permissible for people to be collateral damage in the promotion of virtue but not revenge?
