The Harm of Value Capture: Free Philosophy Lecture at the University of Tampa
Ever chased 10,000 steps instead of actually feeling healthier? A free UT talk digs into why that swap hurts, Mon, Nov 9, 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Gordon Theater.
- When: 2026-11-09 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM
- Where: Charlene A. Gordon Theater, Ferman Center for the Arts, University of Tampa, 214 N Boulevard, Tampa, FL 33606
- Neighborhood: Hyde Park / UT

Food for thought for anyone with a step counter. This free lecture at UT takes on value capture: the moment a rich personal value (like living healthier) quietly gets swapped for a flat institutional metric (like hitting 10,000 steps a day).
Monday, Nov 9, 4 to 5:30 p.m. The talk argues that the harm in that swap is best explained by what people actually desire, and that this result gives another reason to accept a desire-based theory of well-being. Free and open to the public. Contact: Marcus Arvan, marvan@ut.edu.
