There could be a peak of even human culture, where i ifyou tuned our brains a little differently. Or if you just had a generation grow up in isolation with very different cultural expectations and they could have some bizarre arrangement that would be conducive to well being as anything we can get going. And it could entail something very weird with respect to criminal justice, right? You know, like turn principle thatthis would be episthemologically sort of, it's, it's not opaque. I mean, it really does mean something that tht we would know that these people, even if you, by accident, tuned their brain, that they would actually be having more well being.
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.
