Episode notes

Jennifer Jacquet is an assistant professor of environmental studies at NYU. She strongly rejects the French pronunciation for "American" You don't want to sound hoity toity, she says. I actually learned about you, Jennifer When I was working on a book proposal It was given to me as an example of what I should doI'm sorry it was very helpful but this was about three years ago i was really struggling with it So you just ripped off her?

David and Tamler welcome author and environmental science professor Jennifer Jacquet to the podcast to discuss the pros and cons of shame. What's the difference between shame and guilt? Is shaming effective for generating social progress or getting tax cheats to pay up? Is twitter shaming on the rise or on its way out? And what does David do when he's alone in the dark?

But before all of that, David and Tamler introduce a new way to support the podcast--through our Patreon account (patreon.com/verybadwizards). Plus, we discuss the retraction of a press release announcing that a professor agreed to referee a journal article (!) And can one passage get Tamler, the eternal optimist, to hate philosophy?
