  • The Origin of Moral Reasoning
    2025/01/18

    What is the true origin of human morality? Is it divinely ordained, biologically hardwired, or something we've collectively constructed over centuries of trial and error? In this episode, I tackle the deep philosophical question of where our moral beliefs and behaviors come from - and why we often can't fully explain the reasoning behind them.

    Through psychological studies and analysis, I dives into the paradoxical relationship between our moral preferences and actions. I explores how our brains may have evolved to develop moral reasoning, and why we tend to judge "good" and "bad" people so differently, even when their actions don't align with those perceptions. Whether you're religious or secular, this episode will challenge you to re-examine the foundations of your own moral framework. I encourage listeners to explore philosophical texts, psychological research, and diverse religious perspectives to uncover the origins of this most fundamental aspect of the human experience. Prepare to have your assumptions questioned and your mind expanded. This is a must-listen for anyone curious about the deep roots of morality - and what that means for how we live our lives. Hit play and get ready for a thought-provoking journey into the very essence of what makes us human.
