Delighted to hear you're discovering David Brooks - The Second Mountain is also excellent on this stuff. I often talk to students about eulogy virtues, though I'm not sure that stuff lands until your a bit older.

What? That's awesome. Of course I should have talked to you about this instead of stumbling down this path partially sighted. The Second Mountain is next on my list after its review being my introduction to his writing last year.

I love that I came around to this when looking into an AI and ethics course, not really thinking of applying this to myself. How do your students respond to the idea of eulogy virtues?

I think mixed, it lands with some of them quite well. Character is a major focus in school, so the ground is well prepared for this.
