Aaron Rabinowitz, Ironic Cult Leader and Aspiring Philosopher King

Aaron Rabinowitz currently serves as the Philosopher in Residence for the Rutgers Honors College, and teaches ethics through the Rutgers philosophy department. In recent years, Aaron has taught on various ethical challenges emerging from cognitive science, including the potential for sentient AI and the risks/rewards of super intelligent weak AIs. His research interests include developing a robust secular moral realism that allows for a satisfying sense of meaning and a life of flourishing. His teaching focus is on making philosophy accessible through the applied ethics challenges that people confront every day.

Aaron holds a B.A. in Philosophy and Drama from the University of Virginia, an M.A. in Philosophy from Colorado State University, and is currently pursuing his PhD. He also has two podcasts, Embrace the Void and Philosophers in Space.
