Episode notes

There was an enormous shame campaign against these tuna suppliers for them killing dolphins in their practices. But ultimately, they said, well, you know, now consumers who feel guilty can just buy tuna that where we don't kill dolphins And I was nine years old and I... Dolphin saved Yeah, dolphins saved tuna, exactly "I have gotten a little bit softer on that front because of the sheer difficulty The sheer difficulty of trying to pass regulations in 150 countries It is an incredibly difficult task"

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?
