Episode notes

Sara silverman tweeted: 'I'm sitting here in first class. The german guy next me forgot to put on deodorant or something like that' She has been widely criticised for the tweet, which she later deleted. But Sam argues that her actions were justified if you believe it was a racist tweet.

Sam Harris gets back in the VBW ring for another round on moral responsibility, ethical theories, and the grounds for our obligations to other people. Are we at a genuine stalemate when it comes to blame and desert? Is Tamler a closet consequentialist? Is Sam a closet pluralist? Why is Dave such a big Wagner fan? Plus, Twitter shaming: what is it good for? Settle in, get comfortable, pour yourself a drink, you’re in for the long haul on this one.
