32 - Jonathan Anomaly: The Virtues of Enlightened Tribalism
Manage episode 433731169 series 3479178
Jonathan Anomaly is a world renowned expert on the science and ethics of genetic enhancement and the Academic Director of the Center for Philosophy, Politics, & Economics in Quito, Ecuador.
Dr. Anomaly introduces the concept of Enlightened Tribalism, a virtuous mean between blind tribalism and undiscerning universalism.
We discuss why tribalism gets a bad rap, the evolutionary origins of tribalism, how altruism gets selected for in groups, liberal cosmopolitanism as a response to the excesses of nationalism in World War I and World War II, the difference between Enlightened tribalism and pathological tribalism, pitfalls in the ways liberals propose to extend altruism indefinitely, the problems with genetically engineering people for altruism, why people are not fungible to institutions, the moral case for Enlightened Tribalism, and why real diversity requires a rejection of cosmopolitan liberalism.
