#TTEHOW (The To-Each-Her-Own World) --- SynTalk
Sunday, 15 February, 2026
How standard are you? What does it mean to be an Individual? Are you a Hutterite? Must charities be voluntary? What about orphans? Should the State tell us what to do? What might absence of State lead to (in various domains)? Is self sacrifice a virtue? Are welfare states justified in the real world? What does one need to be autonomous? Does anyone have a right to demand that other people support them? Why do most (all?) constitutions partially claw back the freedom of expression provision? How are responsibilities and rights related? What would Ayn Rand make of conscience? Is the imagined unit of Constitutions a rational Individual? Do you have personal Laws? Has the Self become modern? What does it mean to be autonomous? Is personal autonomy always embedded? Do you need the right to rebel? Does free market (read: freedom) help cultivate individual virtues? Is free trade good? Why do libertarians think that all taxation is theft? Does barter scale? How does one accord sovereignty / autonomy to local life arrangements? Do you assert your individuality only via the legal route? &, what if you want to die? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using ideas from philosophy (Prof. Neera Badhwar, ex-The University of Oklahoma, Norman), sociology (Prof. Chandan Gowda, Vidyashilp University, Bangalore), & legal studies (Prof. Sitharamam Kakarala, NALSAR, Hyderabad).
