19. Freedom and Ethical Behavior

19. Freedom and Ethical Behavior

Author: Nick Jamell June 27, 2018 Duration: 1:02:09

Quote of the week:

"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
-Marcus Aurelius

This week we have seen what the media is calling an escalation of the civil unrest that has been brewing. But, is it really?

We will discuss how to act ethically in terms of freedom and where the limitations are. What is one's duty to his fellow citizens? How should we go about disagreement? How far do rights extend?

I am just trying to join the Conversation of Our Generation. Let’s get the dialogue going with comments, shares, questions- just say something!


Nick Jamell hosts Conversation of Our Generation, a space where urgent contemporary questions meet enduring ideas from history and philosophy. Rather than reacting to the noise of daily headlines, this podcast deliberately steps back to examine the deeper currents shaping our society and culture. Each episode is a long-form dialogue that treats topics like politics, religion, and social change not as fodder for debate, but as puzzles to be understood with patience and intellectual humility. The aim is to move beneath entrenched partisanship and surface-level takes, searching instead for clearer perspectives and foundational truths. What you’ll hear are thoughtful explorations that connect modern dilemmas to the wisdom of ancient and modern thinkers, asking how we might navigate today’s complexities with a more grounded sense of principle. This isn’t about quick answers; it’s about cultivating a more meaningful and less reactive way of engaging with the world. For anyone feeling adrift in a polarized age, this podcast offers a sustained, earnest conversation that values depth over speed, and understanding over winning an argument. Tune in for a respite from the frantic news cycle and a chance to consider what it means to be part of this particular moment in time, armed with the best ideas from across the ages.
