| The Ethics of Desire | Ep 09 - Is moral objectivity possible? | 13 Mar 2026 | 00:25:57 | |
SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE In this episode, Carlos Santos explores the complex relationship between desire, morality, and emotions. He argues that while moral values are non-physical, they are still objective and real. Santos emphasizes the importance of emotions as perceptions that guide our understanding of moral values and the necessity of reasoning to evaluate these emotions. He discusses the characteristics of moral values, their dependence on human experience, and how desires can lead us to recognize objective goods. The conversation concludes with a transition to exploring how morality connects to living a meaningful life in future discussions.

SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE Carlos Santos gives an introduction of the theme for season 2. He explores the complex relationship between desire, ethics, and meaning. He challenges the conventional view that desires are obstacles to a meaningful life, proposing instead that they can serve as gateways to morality and purpose. The season will delve into how desires lead to conflict, which in turn demands ethical considerations, ultimately guiding us toward a more meaningful existence.

| Episode 14: Would an anti-meritocratic society be a better society? || Meritocracy Series - Part 4 | 13 Jan 2024 | 00:43:18 | |
Meritocracy is the idea that those who make the most effort deserve to be where they are. In other words, if some people have more economic success and accomplishments than others is because they have worked harder. In this podcast series on meritocracy, I will analyze critically the different aspects the meritocratic ideal takes for granted. Also, I will show how this way of interpreting reality can lead us into harmful ways of living our lives and treating others. This episode is part 4 to the podcast series on meritocracy. I have a conversation with one of my best friends Tristen Sleeper. We talk about why the place of generosity and gratitude in our lives. This is the last episode of the series and season 1 of the podcast: This is the line-up:
#1 Why a society based on merit can’t fix inequality. #2 Why nobody “deserves” what they have. #3 Why letting the market decide what is valuable is a terrible idea. #4 Would an anti-meritocratic society be a better society?

| Episode 6: Philosophy PhD student REVEALS his READING METHOD | 19 Aug 2023 | 00:33:47 | |
In this episode of the Philosophy in Real Life podcast, I talk about my reading methodology. It really sucks to invest so much time and not remember the things you read or just finishing a book and come to the realization that you just ended up with a vague idea about a book that you found meaningful. Needless to say, not all the books have the same value to us. In this video I share my thought process from picking what book to read to how I go about keeping quotations and book summaries. 1. How much do you know about the field? 2. What book should you pick? popular versus academic 3. My method: the three levels of reading 4. Bonus Segment: How I use Notion to keep my book summaries
It means a lot when you give like and share the video. I want to do this long term, and it will be only possible with your support!
