  Thank you.

  Today I wanna talk about morality and autonomy.

• 00:17

  I guess, more specifically,

• 00:19

  what goes into these judgments that we make about whether a particular action or behavior is right or wrong.

• 00:26

  I'm not talking about whether you actually follow through and do the right thing.

• 00:30

  That's a completely different story.

• 00:31

  You know, Kant talks about how as humans, we find ourselves in a constant struggle between virtue and happiness.

• 00:37

  And that oftentimes doing what the right thing is in a given situation may seem counterintuitive to what is gonna make us happy in a given situation.

• 00:45

  And to Kant, the true highest level of existence is not only being a virtuous person,

• 00:49

  but having enough mastery over that virtuous condition where you find happiness there as well.

• 00:55

  I'm not talking about that.

• 00:56

  I'm not talking about the execution of these things.

• 00:59

  I'm talking about that process in your mind, whatever it is,

• 01:04

  of making a decision about what the right thing to do is in any given situation.

• 01:08

  What goes into those judgments?
