It for the purposes of this thought experiment it can only be ONE THING that makes like better. So what's your pick? Let's talk about this or anything else on your mind on the 178th episode of #PhilosophyPhriday! Ready? Steady? GO!

Hey kids! It's time for #PhilosophyPhriday where cool cats talk big ideas in small bites. Today: utilitarianism is the idea that one should maximize the most happiness for the most people. What's THE ONE thing you would prescribe to maximize happiness, for you or society?

I feel like "working for the man every night and day" doesn't qualify as a "good job in the city." So why the charade?

lets talk about that or ANYTHING ELSE ON YOUR MIND with me on today's no caps edition of #PhilosophyPhriday. Ready? STEADY? GOOOO,

if a child is starving down the street do we owe her food? what about a continent away? we cant help everyone? where do we draw the line? what is enough to give and what is too little? if you have a billion dollars should a decent person keep any of it?

if you saw a small child drowning would you save it if you could? would you risk ruining your clothes? i think most people who consider themselves good would save the child. kind of a no brainer. but what happens when we don't see the suffering?

hey, kids! it's time for jay kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday where thoughtful people consider life's big questions in little bytes. despite the hateful platform we try to be considerate and listen to all points of view. Today: what do those who have owe those who have not?

#WGAstrong At the Warner lot saw the great @PFTomkins and he was cordial as was I. And a great victory was had... for politeness.

picketing at Warner Bros today and she ran out of things to say to me very quickly. I'm assuming my good looks kind of disoriented her.

I’d never seen The Wrong Guy before they showed it last night at @JoinTheDynasty with @DaveSFoley , @JayKogen, Dave Anthony Higgins and motherfucking Joe Flaherty. Insane. That movie is so funny.

What are your hopes and fears about AI? let's talk about that or anything else that's on your mind. It's a busy day for me so i've only got a little while to chat. I'll be picketing while i tweet. But let #PhilosophyPhriday begin! READY? STEADY? GOO!

If a machine is writing things based on stuff it's pulling from other written documents then who is the writer and who owns what? Will people like me be out of a job? Or will AI become a tool to help writers or other creative people do what they do?

Hey kids! It's time for Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday where we talk about the big questions with smart folks. Today AI. Right now i'm on strike because we don't know what the future of writing will be. Part of that question involves AI.

Well, the sun is starting to set in the west so it's time to put away #PhilosophyPhriday for another week. Thanks for playing and until next week stay philosophical!

Let's talk about that or anything else on your mind on today's 175th edition of #PhilosophyPhriday. Ready? Steady? Go!!

So here is today's question: How are you handling the struggles in front of you? Are you letting them stop you? Are you letting them grow you as a person? Can you step back and see your life as a journey? Or do you get frozen in fear and bitterness?

God/fate doesn't give you anything you can't handle & if you mess it up you'll get a new test soon. I miss Mike. I'd love to see him again but no matter what he's given me alot. He's given me friendship, a Gibson sunburst electric guitar, & a reminder on how to live.

Mike told me once his gift was to be able to take funny Jewish words & translate them to non-Jews. His life struggle is very Jewish too. Jews see the issues presented to you are tests. They are things you must learn to overcome or persevere.

I think, even with Parkinsons, he still considers himself lucky. He has been working through his disease & still living his life. Not everything is pretty or easy but he's here. He's doing it.

The last time I saw him was years ago but he's always stayed w/ me as someone who touched my life. When I saw the movie last night about Michael's struggles what struck me most was he was still the guy I loved. He is not a victim. Not a Saint. Still funny & trying to be himself.

He knew he had talent but he also knew he could have just been a guy in Vancouver selling ketchup flavored potato chips. I never treated Mike like a movie star. He was! But he was also my age & we had more in common from being successful early & trying to make each other laugh.

, my long lost friend, made a movie called "Still" detailing his life and struggle with Parkinsons Disease. I worked with Michael J. Fox almost 30 years ago on a movie. Back then he was funny and charming and completely aware he had hit the lottery.

Hey Kids! It's time for Jay Kogen's #PhilosophyPhriday! In a desert of twitter hate #PhilosophyPhriday is an oasis of thoughtful kind people talking about life's hard questions. Today: how do we handle the curve balls of life. (This is a long one.)

You gotta come if you want to see the FUNNIEST MOVIE you never knew existed.

People throw out the word "genius" all the time. I don't know what people mean. Like I don't understand the definition or concept. But I do like the way the letter "g" looks.
