I've always thoughtt, it must be a weird thing for your job to be to read scripts. It would be insane to judge a movie by the script, right? Like, that would not be a fair way to assess whether a movie was good or not. You have to see it in the form that it was presented. And and then, yes, you know this other part where you have to put yourself in the mind set, like, you know, what does that mean? How far can you take that? I think the answer might be yes.
Many of us think that art is subjective, but at the same time it seems like some artistic judgments are better than others. Do you think Crash deserved to receive an award for Best Picture? Did you like Season 2 of Ted Lasso? Well you’re wrong. So how do we reconcile these two conflicting attitudes about art? David and Tamler turn to David Hume’s classic essay Of the Standard of Taste (link in notes) for help. Will Pizarro finally see the error of his ways on Straw Dogs?
Plus a doozy of a medical ethics paper – should we allow people to change their legal age if it doesn’t match their "biological" and "emotional" age?
