"Is there a difference between the term action in aesthetically preferable actions and the term behavior in universally preferable behaviors? I think of actions and behaviors as being synonyms, so I would think you would pick one term and use it in both cases, but you seem to always be careful to use action in APA and behavior in UPB, so it makes me think the terms action and behavior are not synonyms for you. is there a difference between actions and behaviors in your thinking? "To put the question differently would there be anything incorrect or different if I referred to aesthetically preferable actions as aesthetically preferable behaviors? Are the terms actions and behaviors interchangeable there or do they not mean the same thing for you? Cause if they mean the same thing I would think it would go be simpler to use one term instead of 2, so to refer to UPB and APB, but you refer to UPB and APA." "What are the origins of the urge to fail, to waste potential, to drag your feet and do the bare minimum? Hate? Like, I hate you so much I will waste myself rather than blossom in your presence." "What you said about feeling other people's feelings resonates with me. I know some people have baited me into feeling outraged or passionate about some topics in their place. While we can usually see it when it happens in front of us, how do you differentiate your true feelings from those implanted in your head by others when you're alone?" "can you please do a full length explanation of what exactly virtue is? I have listened to everything you have put out on the subject but still have a hard time understanding the concept. From what I have gathered listening to your shows, virtue is a relative concept. Is there an objective definition of virtue that isn’t dependent on a particular situation?" "I have a friend that I mainly meet because of service exchange (doing major car repairs to me for less than a workshops fee), we do get along well on a personal level, but I feel it's unethical of me as the friendship seem more utilitarian than he himself considers it to be. I feel like I'm using people, at times. How do I get past this?" Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!
