Will Wilkinson from the Cato Institute (and a blogger at The Fly Bottle) and Geoffrey Sayre-McCord from the University of North Carolina discuss various ideas around ethics culminating in a look at whether you can get to the point of saying something is morally wrong or just another societies preference based on a different set of ideals.
So is it a case of `I like vanilla, you should like vanilla too'
or is it...
`I don't like killing babies so you shouldn't like killing babies too.'
There are lots and lots of sites you can get into whatever topic you are interested about.
Here are some I just discovered:
Bloggingheads (thanks Stu)
Big Think (thanks Grandpa Spanner)
and my favourite:
TED.com
