![Q&A on (1) Private Lawyers (2) Philosophy vs. Psychology (3) Shrugging
In this episode of Functional Philosophy, I answer the following questions:
00:38 - One primary function of the government is to treat all citizens equally under the law. How does an objectivist square this with lawyers for hire? Under a system where one can pay for legal counsel, those with more money hire more/better lawyers, while those without such money cannot, with this typically leading to different final outcomes.
08:12 - What merits [psychology] to be a special branch of science, when philosophy is seemingly sufficient to explain the emotions and actions of people?
12:42 - [How can I] feel my selfish contributions to the world wont contribute to a society of [people] who I dislike?

![(1) Women in the Workforce (2) TV Shows (3) Ayn Rand & Her Times (FP Podcast #100)
In this episode of Functional Philosophy, I answer the following questions:
11:13 - What is your opinion on housewives? Gavin [McInnes] likes to say that 5% of women should be in the workforce and the rest would be happier at home. Do you agree with this sentiment to some extent?
19:21 - Besides Dragon Ball, what are some shows that you love and think other people should watch?
32:38 - Are there any opinions Rand had that can be discarded due to the times she lived in? I noticed that you spoke about transsexualism in a much more benevolent way than Rand seemed to speak about homosexuals.
