Shame, like the object of shame is your entire self It says something about who you are as a person. You don't have to endorse a norm to feel shame, right? Yeah So it could be just what everybody else believes I don't personally think it's wrong But I know that everybody else... You think it's very right Well, let me say that in doing the research for the book Of course I have a Google alert for shame so Michael Fesbender's movie, Shame, which is all about sex addiction plays right into what you're talking about.
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?
