Episode notes

i think that where tamler got sort of the heat was was hanging his compatiblist intuitions, or the idea that even if we're not free in any ultimate sense, we can be blamed. And i what i was trying to defend was a sort of different view of thi this,. There are genuine reasons in regarding the agency of an individual that distinguish between people who are responsible and those who are not. I never had your crazy view of like, therefore i should get my asbeat when i drunk drive. It's actually a more reasonable position that yours.

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.
