I have my doubts, but let's say I grant that. The second issue I have with this paper is this idea that we need trust. We need trolley, to run variations of trolley problems in order to figure out what our intuitions are. That's the objection I started with which I don't know what it adds to run to run. You can ask people what kind of car, what kind of decisions they want to make in these situations. But I don't think that trolley problems getting getting you anywhere.
Special guest Eric Schwitzgebel joins David and Tamler to discuss the moral behavior (or lack thereof) of ethicists. Does moral reflection make us better people, or does it just give us better excuses to be immoral? Who's more right about human nature--Mencius or Xun Zi? What did Kant have against bastards and masturbating? Plus, we talk about jerks, robot cars, and killing baby Hitler. (Godwin's Law within 1:42--might be a new record for us).
