Noisy Neighbours
Why does it always seem like it\u2019s the people who move to the village that complain about the church bells? Or it is those that move next to a pub that are irritated by noise? It seems to indicate that there is an optimal way to live harmoniously. But how does the idea of neighbourliness work and what does it tell us about the nature of society?\n\nIn this week\u2019s podcast, we discuss noisy neighbours. Is annoying your neighbour a tale as old as time or is it a relatively recent phenomenon? We discuss trap and drill music, Horst-Wessel-Lied, whistling, Isaiah Berlin, Coase theorem, intentional communities, Nozick\u2019s framework for utopia and cohousing. Finally, we share when we\u2019ve been annoying neighbours and when we\u2019ve been most annoyed.\n\nA few things we mentioned in this podcast:\n\n\n- Classical musician forced out of London flat after noise complaints https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/may/14/musician-forced-london-flat-fiona-fey-mediaeval-babes-noise-abatement \n- The Independent Society of Musicians https://www.ism.org/?/join&gclid=CjwKCAjw6vyiBhB_EiwAQJRophs1VCEGCbtO6LFdOy9-016Q1kcqeGdUrttw82iys2x3KyUfmu2qmBoCNVEQAvD_BwE \n- Forager, Farmer Morals https://www.overcomingbias.com/p/forager-vs-farmer-moralityhtml \n- Adult ADHD: How to Succeed as a Hunter in a Farmer's World https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adult-ADHD-Succeed-Hunter-Farmers/dp/1620555751 \n- Robert Nozick\u2019s Political Philosophy https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nozick-political/\n\nFor more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com
