Episode notes
Self-Improvement Is An Ethical Question
- Improvement inevitably raises ethical questions: what counts as 'better' must be examined, not assumed.
- Manson aims to provide questions that help people define their own values rather than supplying answers.
Question Goals And Gratitude
- Write down goals and then ask why you want each one and what meaning each accomplishment would create.
- Question your gratitude and whether what feels good is actually beneficial long-term.
Use Humanity As A Moral Baseline
- Treat people as ends, not mere means: avoid actions (lying, cheating) that use others for your goals.
- Use Kant's formula of humanity as a baseline to judge whether your pursuits actually improve life for people.
