Virtue Signaling, Grandstanding, and Judging Others
<p>It is easy to write other people off when you think they are just virtue signaling, grandstanding, or trolling. But is it good that we tend to more and more judge people with those categories and break off discussion as a result? In<a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-the-american-philosophical-association/article/moral-grandstanding-and-the-norms-of-moral-discourse/841DD7C04A0089895C7A9A4BF14C12A6">"Moral Grandstanding and the Norms of Moral Discourse"</a> A..K. Flowerree and Mark Satta argue that it is often bad or even morally wrong and unjust. I discuss this and other topics related to virtue signaling with <a href="https://uconn.academia.edu/HeatherBattaly" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Heather Battaly </a>(Connecticut) </p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

Should We Blame AI?
<p>Should we blame AI computer systems when they cause harm or unjust outcomes? Does it depend on whether AIs have free will or exhibit morally responsible agency -- whatever it is that makes adults like you and me blame-<em>worthy</em> in ways that babies or animals are not? In <a href="https://jesp.org/index.php/jesp/article/view/3060">"The Point of Blaming AI Systems</a>" Altehenger and Menges give a case for blaming AI <em>regardless</em> of whether AIs are blameworthy. I discuss their argument and counter-arguments with <a href="https://philosophy.ucla.edu/person/pamela-hieronymi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Pamela Hieronymi</a> (UCLA)</p>

Fanaticism, Devotion, and Nihilism
<p>Discussion of fanaticism, devotion, and nihilism with<a href="https://www.paulkatsafanas.com/"> Paul Katsafanas</a> of Boston University. When someone becomes a fanatic about their worldview is that always a bad thing? Should fanatics moderate themselves to become better and more civil? Or is fanaticism sometimes a good thing, as Heather Battaly argues in "<a href="https://philpapers.org/rec/BATCFB" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Can Fanaticism be a Liberatory Virtue?</a>" </p>
