Noisy Neighbours

Why does it always seem like it’s the people who move to the village that complain about the church bells? Or it is those that move next to a pub that are irritated by noise? It seems to indicate that there is an optimal way to live harmoniously. But how does the idea of neighbourliness work and what does it tell us about the nature of society? In this week’s podcast, we discuss noisy neighbours. Is annoying your neighbour a tale as old as time or is it a relatively recent phenomenon? We discuss trap and drill music, Horst-Wessel-Lied, whistling, Isaiah Berlin, Coase theorem, intentional communities, Nozick’s framework for utopia and cohousing. Finally, we share when we’ve been annoying neighbours and when we’ve been most annoyed. A few things we mentioned in this podcast: Classical musician forced out of London flat after noise complaints The Independent Society of Musicians Forager, Farmer Morals Adult ADHD: How to Succeed as a Hunter in a Farmer's World Robert Nozick’s Political Philosophy For more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email [email protected] This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp
