What if there’s no moral rulebook, and you were never meant to follow one? And if nothing is objectively right or wrong, how do you actually live a good life?
Frank Lawton sits down with Ryan A. Bush. Ryan is a practical philosopher, the creator of Mindform, the founder of Designing the Mind, and the author of Become Who You Are.
Ryan doesn’t believe in objective moral truths. Rather than leading to nihilism, he argues, this frees you to build ethics from the ground up, as strategies for what you truly care about: virtue for living well, and systems thinking for building a better world.
In this conversation:
- How to choose good goals when none are objectively better
- Why Ryan calls the “happiness trap” a fallacy
- The pleasure monster and the limits of utilitarianism
- Why universal “shoulds” stop people thinking for themselves
- Why self-sacrifice can be a toxic model of goodness
- What a lobotomy thought experiment reveals about virtue
