Episode notes

We all reach for these rules that seem, you know, for instance, fairness. Andw i would argueat you, it's totally degrading humanity. It's just slight net loss syc few people are a little more upset than they would have been. A few people are not as happy as they would have were if you know that you are going to break the rule.

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?
