Episode notes

I'll draw the line to make you both happy okay. I will sacrifice that evil genius intuition to retain the drunk driving case and then I'll be consistent which I know contents like Dave value above all else. You are someone who more fishy than an evil's neuroscientist well yeah becauseBecause you find yourself responsible especially responsible because you're someone who in general could have resisted drunk driving so you're you're open to reasons you're normally someone who wouldn't have put yourself in this situation.

Bestselling author and friend of the podcast Sam Harris joins Tamler and Dave for a marathon podcast. (Seriously, pack two pairs of astronaut diapers for this one). We talk about the costs and benefits of religion, dropping acid in India, and the illusory nature of (a certain kind of) free will. Then we go at it on blame, moral responsibility, hatred, guilt, retribution, and vengeance. Sam thinks these are antiquated responses based on a belief in spooky metaphysics, Tamler thinks they are important components of human morality, and Dave just wants everyone to get along and be reasonable (like that nice Kant fellow).
