Hi friends, welcome back.

My guest today is Alex O'Connor, otherwise known as Cosmic Skeptic, and today we are posing

some of the most difficult and famous questions in ethics.

Some of my favourite episodes that we do on Modern Wisdom are ones that pose questions

that force you to actively participate in the discussion.

I really enjoy bringing you along for the ride and making sure that you're engaged in

what is being said.

So today Alex gives us some mind bending questions that force us to question our intuitions

around what is good and what is bad.

So today, expect to learn what does it mean to say that a thing is good?

Why should you do one thing instead of another?

Why should we care about well being?

What is the definition of suffering and on whose authority is anything good or bad?

Really sort of, it's an episode that you should be focused on while you're listening

to it.

Let's put it that way.

In other news, this episode of the podcast is brought to you by the protein works.

I am chewing through all of the stuff that my care package from the protein works got

sent out this week, and that included their super greens powder, which I keep popping

on about, and I'm going to keep doing it until you buy it because you need a super greens

powder in your life.

Even if you're a vegan like Messer O'Connor joining me today, you are not getting enough
