Episode notes

I don't think anybody can find something that makes as little sense as this I have always living on my co-op the actual thing that we're talking about. Ron Mallon said like stop with the fucking acronyms essentially and I later found out it was Ron Mallon it was right like I was doing it too. "If you're you want to find out of context some excerpt of our work then I feel free we will read it we'll read it on the podcast"

David and Tamler welcome author and environmental science professor Jennifer Jacquet to the podcast to discuss the pros and cons of shame. What's the difference between shame and guilt? Is shaming effective for generating social progress or getting tax cheats to pay up? Is twitter shaming on the rise or on its way out? And what does David do when he's alone in the dark?

But before all of that, David and Tamler introduce a new way to support the podcast--through our Patreon account (patreon.com/verybadwizards). Plus, we discuss the retraction of a press release announcing that a professor agreed to referee a journal article (!) And can one passage get Tamler, the eternal optimist, to hate philosophy?
