“Stop being so judgmental!” “Who are you to judge?”
We launch our first episode by challenging a tenet that has been taught to us since we were kids: the notion that one should not judge other people’s lives.
We explore the meaning of this idea to untangle some of the major confusions around this topic. We draw out the key (but often blurred) distinctions between being judgmental and making an objective moral judgment. And finally, we close the discussion with a central question: Why should I morally evaluate other people, and what is at stake for me?
