Episode notes

I could see how it would bother Objectivists and rationalists like Dave. Here's an example of this that my students brought up that I thought was good when we were discussing your work Did you see the movie Nightcrawler? Yeah, it's with Jake Gilen all it came out last year. So one way in which I think the Value fulfillment stuff helps with these kinds of problem cases.

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...)
