Hey Philosophers! Welcome to Philosophy Phriday.

What is Philosophy Phriday?

We are a diverse YouTube community that asks questions that don't have straightforward answers. Each week we discuss an interesting question. Questions like:

• Is it better to be rich and generous or poor and generous?
• Do you have free will?
• Is it possible for one person to change the world?
• (maybe even) Is a hotdog a sandwich?

After discussing it, each week Friday, we'll post a video with some commentary and we'll read some of the comments that were made.

Join our community! Be part of the conversation!

Code of Conduct

Rule number one at Philosophy Phriday: Be nice!

The Philosophy Phriday community is composed of people who treat other people and their views with respect. You don't have to agree with someone to respect the person.

Hate speech is not tolerated and if you see it, please report it. Our community is respectful to people regardless of age, color, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status.

People who violate the code of conduct will be warned or removed from the community.

The best way to resolve disputes is through communication. Ideally, disputes should be resolved peacefully and respectfully. If you are offended, it may not be intentional and it is encouraged to make a comment explaining that you were offended. If you do not feel comfortable confronting the individual please report them.

If you were reported or if someone finds your view offensive try to see things from their point of view. How would you feel if you were in their shoes? We philosophers are deep thinkers, so consider where they might be coming from, who their family is, or what their background might be. If you're accused of something look for evidence that that accusation is warranted. You don't have to agree with the person to understand them. If you have offended someone, it's encouraged to apologize. There is a tendency for people to be more aggressive online than they would be in person—please don't live up to this stereotype.

Further, people who tend to have more power often feel threatened when they are challenged. Often, they feel offended because minority groups are reclaiming rights that those groups should have had all along. Equality feels like oppression when you're used to privilege. If you are in a position of power, please be aware of this and try to be understanding.

In general, offensive comments will be removed. If the offensive action in question is obviously done on purpose, or the commenter is a repeat offender, the commenter may be removed from the community without warning.
