Ron Livingston played by Ron Livingston is hypnotized to not care. He's leading this life of just, you know, cubicle work at an office. And ironically, he gets promoted and achieves all the success because he actually doesn't give a fuck. I think that the central idea here is some sort of, maybe slightly more positive argument for just not caring that much about anything.
Philosophers can be funny and funny movies can be philosophical. David and Tamler welcome frequent VBW guest and arch-enemy of empathy Paul Bloom to discuss their five favorite comic films with philosophical/psychological themes. Groundhog Day was off-limits for our top five (we would've all chosen it) so we start by explaining why it's the quintessential movie for this topic.
