The Connection Between Nihilism and Moral Relativism: SG #183 with Rob Davis

<p>Rob&#39;s latest book, &quot;Purpose in Form: The Necessary Basis of All Ethics,&quot; is available here: https://www.amazon.com/Purpose-Form-Necessary-Basis-Ethics/dp/0997846453/ref=sr_1_1About Rob Davis: I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Redlands with a B.A. in Philosophy (emphasis in Chinese Philosophy) and a minor in Biology. I have worked in immigration law, wilderness therapy, addiction and behavior treatment, and education. I am an author with several self-published books including philosophical works and works of fiction. I have been sharing more of my recent writing on Substack, including an in-depth account of my experience in my Counseling Master&#39;s of Science program (titled: Defund the Fun Police). I also have done a few podcast series, including one on my book Purpose in Form: The Necessary Basis of All Ethics, and one on The Art of War by Sun Tzu. I post clips from these and other reflections or responses on my YouTube channel.I worked in wilderness therapy for about 2 years. Then I transitioned to out-patient day treatment for behavioral issues for another almost 2 years. I started working with adults in rehab, then moved to kids with behavioral disorders. From pretty much the beginning, I wanted to become a counselor. At the first wilderness therapy center, I was in a preparation program where I would receive a certification that would help with becoming a counselor (I don&#39;t recall what it was exactly at this point). So my entire time working as frontline staff I was intending as preparation for the ultimate goal of becoming a counselor. I got into an online program where I could specialize in addiction treatment, which I was very interested in, and made it one semester. At the end of the semester, there was a mandatory Social Justice portion of all of our courses. The entire pedagogy shifted from &quot;read about these theories and tell us what you like about them or don&#39;t like&quot; to &quot;read these and tell us how you will put them into practice.&quot; I objected and was forced out shortly into the following semester.Other links: Substack: https://robertbdavisii.substack.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC_-vi5sypLBUBpkmpz0wpCA Previous interviews with Rob: (1) https://youtu.be/07Q4_Hy_8l8(2) https://www.youtube.com/live/bs8c-f8z4Ww?si=Pk55G0hyGU7jOpgu_____________________________________________________________________If you would like to contact me, my website is: https://theradicalcenterconsultin
