Come join my next “Rationally Selfish” webcast! It’s on Sunday morning at 8 am PT / 9 am MT / 10 am CT / 11 am ET. You can watch the webcast and join in the text chat on the web page of Rationally Selfish. Greg Perkins of Objectivist Answers will be my audio co-host once again, and I’ll be broadcasting from the snowy Rocky Mountains. (I’ll be inside, happily!)
In the webcast, I answer questions on practical ethics and living well. Each week, I select the most popular and interesting questions from the queue. Please submit your questions, as well as vote and comment on questions that you find interesting. Here are the questions that I’ll answer this week:
- What’s wrong with multiple sexual partners at a time? Why do you think that multiple romantic partners are psychologically destructive for everyone involved? What is it about romantic love that you think demands attention on one and only one other person?
- Should I care what happens to the world after I die? Should I care about my friends and projects after I die? What about caring about humanity long after my death? Should that affect my actions today?
- How can I procrastinate less? Often, I avoid doing unpleasant tasks for days or weeks, and I feel terrible about those delays. How can I motivate myself to just get those dreaded chores out of the way?
- Should people call their parents-in-law “Mom” and “Dad”? (More details)
- Can an Objectivist believe in God? Can a person be a theist and an Objectivist? Or is that too fundamental a conflict? If so, why?
- From Objectivist Answers: Given the TSA’s policies, is choosing to fly giving the sanction of the victim?
Questions that aren’t answered this week will remain in the Rationally Selfish queue for me to answer in upcoming webcasts. So please go vote on anything not marked “scheduled” — or submit your own question.
You can listen to these webcasts later as NoodleCast audio-only podcasts by subscribing in iTunes to either the enhanced M4A format or the standard MP3 format.
The live webcast is a good bit of fun, so I recommend that you stop by as your schedule permits. I appreciate the immediate feedback — serious comments, funny comments, and follow-up questions — in the text-based chat during the broadcast. It’s a lively get-together!
