I wish someone would challenge these people who argue against technology by injecting god, or soul, or some other ethereal phenomenon. Those of us who don’t believe in spirituality or fate don’t give a bleep about how you found your “soul-mate.” I’m not suggesting we turn everything over to technology; but let’s not be so dismissive of it, either. What’s so great about “happenstance?” If you had NOT met your partner in the toilet paper aisle, you would not be the wiser. Furthermore, what if my parents were abusive; why would I trust them? And why can’t I enjoy the beauty of a rainbow AND find a mate via a dating app? And maybe someone could mention to Yo-Yo Ma of the “is-ought problem." The arguments in this clip are simplistic and one-dimensional.
God damn it. This is amazing! This needs to widen more!
So stimulating.I took Professor Sandel's course "Justice"----Excellent

What a great deliberation I want to see I want to experience I want to live
