Brian D. Earp

Brian D. Earp, a Research Fellow at Oxford, delves into the provocative ethics of using drugs to manipulate love. He explores whether it's possible to chemically induce feelings of love or even alter sexual orientation. Discussion also includes the potential for anti-love drugs to reduce domestic violence and enhance attractiveness through pharmacological means. Earp challenges listeners to consider the moral implications of such interventions and the complex intersection of biology, relationships, and emotion.

Dr Brett Heasman, Paula Kiel, and Brian D. Earp discuss the impact of the modern world on relationships. Topics include the use of MDMA in relationships, love drugs for improving connections, extending relationships beyond death through technology, challenges in interpersonal relationships faced by autistic individuals, and learning from neurodivergent ways of interacting.
