Another Very Bad Wizard podcast. This one on Thomas Nagel's Fractional values.
He makes the case that there are moral and practical decisions that cannot be reasoned through using one value. In many cases we hold competing values that can't be reconciled.
Example:
Do you follow you passion and life's work tomorrow or do you spend it with your loved ones?
But he stresses that this conflict does not mean that our moral decisions are arbitrary, rather that that need to be chosen with care.
