I'm Sigal Samuel, a senior reporter for Future Perfect, Vox’s section about how to do good in today’s confusing world.
My advice column — Your Mileage May Vary — offers people a unique framework for thinking through their ethical questions. My answers are based on value pluralism — the idea that each of us has multiple, equally important yet often conflicting moral values. When values clash, dilemmas arise. I show how wise people — from ancient philosophers to spiritual thinkers to modern scientists — have thought about these values and conflicts between them. Check out previous columns here.
So: Whether it’s about how you use tech or how you travel, what you eat or what you teach your kids, let me know the philosophical or spiritual questions that are plaguing you and Your Mileage May Vary can help!
