People and Operations Director
Aaron Rabinowitz is an ethicist with 10+ years experience teaching about human flourishing. He has a BA in philosophy from the University of Virginia, a Masters in philosophy from Colorado State University, and is currently working on a PhD in education at the Rutgers Graduate school of Education. In his dissertation he advocates for Luckpilling, a new approach to teaching about luck that helps people accept the taboo truth that everything is luck, all the way down. He argues that internalizing this taboo truth is essential to the progressive social justice agenda and has profound implications at the personal and societal level. When he’s not trying to luckpill the world, Aaron’s other interests include AI ethics, antisemitic conspiracism, values centered community organizing, and tai chi. Aaron also hosts two philosophy podcasts, Embrace the Void, and Philosophers in Space with co-host Callie Wright. His work aims to make philosophy accessible and useful to everyone.
