Episode notes

Ashley madison, no way. I think there ar jus ton of people who would just in a moment of drunken weakness, do it. Drunken weakness is when the person is right in front of you,. not when you're just sitting home alone with your computer and you're notd it's not even like a particular personal it's called nerd weakness. You know, i bet you guys get drunk one night and they sign up, you know, they think they're like being clever by giving, like, yo, a slightly different name, but it's still their damnd cry to card. So all that information is up there. Although that's not the way you started

David and Tamler return after an end of summer hiatus to finally talk about the ethics of deception….eventually. But first they break down a recent article in the journal Science documenting an attempt to replicate 100 recent psychology experiments. What does it mean that just over 1/3 of the studies were successfully replicated? Is social psychology in crisis or is this just how science works? Will David somehow try to pin the blame on philosophers?

Plus--a brief and almost certainly regrettable foray into the Ashley Madison hack, the neuroscience of lying to your kids about Santa, and we announce a new way to contact us to help celebrate our 75th anniversary.
