Jennifer, do you have graduate students? No, I have a postdoc. Do you get nervous when like, say your student is presenting in front of like, yeah, yeah, absolutely. And I'm so pride, like a lot of pride if they do well. But now, isn't your Kantian self saying that's just because you're feeling pride for your role in them being a good speaker and guilt or shame. So, this is the child of Latin Americans. I feel it no matter what. Even though even if I resent the feeling, like I will feel it. I feel shame at your actions, sometimes.
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?
