Episode notes

I think they're bad for the lawn. Do you have a lawn? Not now, but I mean, I like seeing when you live, but you live in Minnesota. Your lawn will die. The leaves create a blanket of death. Justify, you know, it's like you're in the pocket of big oil. We need to reward more entrepreneurial efforts like podcasters. And therefore, I am going to play you a podcast rather than give you a lecture.

Special guest Valerie Tiberius joins us to talk about values, well-being, and friendship. What role should reflection play in the good life? What about emotion? How can we make our values more consistent and sustainable? Do we know our friends better than we know ourselves? Plus, are philosophers experts? Experts of what? What are the boundaries of our discipline? And what motivates a gay Mormon to stay in the Church? In the first segment, David and Tamler list a few things they're grateful for on Thanksgiving, including you, the listeners (awwwwww...)
