Follow us at Very Bad Wizards on Twitter, Facebook and iTunes. If you have any particular tweet that you want to send to us content-wise about the show or something like that, probably better to do it to our personal accounts at Tamler and at P's. We check those regularly. This is very modern for me. It's a little scary. Because I feel like we're just out there and we get emails from people and sometimes I just don't know what to say back.

Our streak of very special guests continues! Philosopher Eddy Nahmias joins the podcast to us why people mistakenly think they're not morally responsible, and how his new study casts doubt on Sam Harris's "pamphlet" on free will. Eddy also describes his new project (with Toni Adleberg and Morgan Thompson) on why women leave philosophy. Plus Dave and I discuss some reasons for having children, and eat a little Partially Examined Life crow.
