This week's episode is brought to you by one of our favorite sponsors, give well. How much impact will your donation actually have? Most charities can't tell you how your money will be used or what good it will accomplish. You may know it will theoretically help a cause, but how, or more importantly, how much? Is it wrong to like hot people? Will be right back to day two!
We think racism is wrong but what about “lookism” – a bias that favors attractive people over unattractive ones? If it’s wrong to judge people by the color of their skin, what about judging people for something that is only skin deep? We talk about two pieces today, a forthcoming philosophy article by William D’Allesandro “Is it Bad to Prefer Attractive Partners” and the Ted Chiang story “Liking What You See: A Documentary.”
Plus we select the topic finalists for our beloved Patreon listener-selected episode. Interesting list this time around!
