What does it mean to be a "good" person? Many people think they have the answers, but their ideas often contradict the ideas of others. This means that an awful lot of people are wrong. How can we sift through this noise and find the truth?
In this episode, I give some examples of tools that can help, including being able to engage with ideas different than your own, having the ability to change your mind when confronted with good reasons, and being precise with your words. Notably, I include a somewhat controversial but highly intriguing discussion about the loose use of the word "racism" to demonstrate some harms of imprecise language.
Welcome to Virtue Vibes, the podcast where we think hard about how to be good.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
