Good & Evil: Nietzsche, Buddha, Christ, Communism & the Well-Being Equation

from JordanMMcK · host Jordan McKinney

In this video I talk about good & evil. I use some of the characters from Watchmen to illustrate the difference between deontological ethics and consequentialism. I talk about communism and the loss of religion in the West. I talk about Sam Harris' highest value being that of maximization of well-being, and why I think that's the wrong goal. Finally I talk about Nietzsche's position on all this, and why he would have disagreed with Sam Harris and with the Buddhists.
