#58: Meditation, Social Darwinism, Intellectual Property, and More - a podcast by Charles Tew

In this episode of Functional Philosophy, I answer the following questions:

1. If women can choose to have an abortion, should a man be able to choose to not be involved if the woman wants to have it?

2. Is the practice of meditation(in its most secular possible form) a valid means of improving attention? Could it enhance man’s ability to focus on introspection and better understand his emotions for rational ends?

3. Can you give your opinion on social Darwinism?

4. What do you think of Platonic Love? The idea that romantic love is less rational and therefore inferior to nonsexual love.

5. What about patents that have been invented by corporations? How do you time limit those patents? Why do you need time limits in the first place? You don't have time limits for your private property, so why on intellectual property??
