Peter Singer: There's not going to be a radical disjunction between what is good for any individual in general and what's good for everyone. He says the group will weed out free riding, corruption or doing stuff without getting caught. "If you tell me that he's wired in such a way ... i just have to accept it," singer asks.
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.
