The series is a joint venture with my friend and previous podcast guest, Shane Trotter (author of Setting the Bar). In this episode, Shane and I discuss the complex topic of objective morality and the shift towards moral relativism in society. We explore the role of judgment in ethics and the need for cognitive flexibility, the provisional nature of moral behavior, and the inherent insight humans have into right and wrong. We also touch on the tendency towards moral relativism, the need for clarity in virtues, and the importance of serving the greater good. Key TakeawaysSociety has seen a shift towards moral relativism, where individuals believe that there is no objective good or bad.Moral objectivism suggests that there are universal truths of morality that humans have independently come to throughout history.The tension between pluralism and dogmatism highlights the need for open-mindedness and the recognition of competing moralities.Discerning right from wrong is challenging and requires wisdom, discussion, and the pursuit of excellence in character development.---🖇️ Stay Connected:Twitter: https://twitter.com/PerennialPodsInstagram: https://instagram.com/PerennialPodsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PerennialPodsWebsite: https://www.perennialleader.com/---🦉 Additional Resources:Explore the Perennial Meditations archive: https://perennial.substack.com/archiveListen to more podcasts: https://www.perennialleader.com/podcasts
