Worldviews, altruism, and embracing variance (with Emmett Shear)
Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg
Context Matters in Ethical Decision Making
Ethical decision-making involves considering contextual factors rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. The speaker disagrees with the idea that there is a universal right answer that is independent of context.

The effectiveness of altruistic actions is influenced by the underlying motivation, with actions rooted in love generally yielding positive outcomes and those stemming from fear often resulting in negative consequences.
