Reminder: Sunday's Rationally Selfish Webcast

Posted: 26 Nov 2010 05:00 AM PST

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 chat on the web page of Rationally Selfish. Greg Perkins of Objectivist Answers will be my audio co-host once again, as that worked well last week. (Thank you, Greg!)

The questions on practical ethics and living well that I'll be discussing will be drawn from those in the "Idea Informer" queue on the page for Rationally Selfish. Please submit your questions, as well as vote and comment on questions that you find interesting. I've not decided on all the questions that I'll discuss this week, but these three are definitely in the works:
  • What is the difference (if any) between 'productiveness' and 'productivity'? People often seem to use the terms interchangeably, but are they the same?
  • Are people who abuse their pets immoral? Should we think ill of someone for neglecting or abusing their pets? If so, why?
  • How should we judge NFL quarterback Michael Vick? As an animal lover, I was appalled when the NFL allowed Michael Vick to play pro football again after his dog-fighting episodes. But now that he's doing well, part of me wants to cheer for him, telling myself that he's a "reformed man who deserves a second chance". Is that rational of me? How do we know if someone has truly turned over a new leaf morally after prior bad acts?
The other questions that I choose to answer will largely depend on your votes in the widget on Rationally Selfish. Questions that aren't answered this week will remain in the queue for me to answer in upcoming webcasts.

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. However, the live webcast is a good bit of fun, so I recommend that you stop by when your schedule permits!
