Episode notes

There's no question that you could have a, what we would consider a kind of a pathological, a happy, happy tribe. They're exporting its misery toto the rest of the world by some kind of a perverse entropy shed ing effect. I'm not suggesting they must be terribly unhappy and just not know it, but there're certainly states of consciousness that are not available to them, that they're not experiencing. But also, te they're vulnerable. That's not a an orientation that works in our world,. Some one's going to come over and crush them, you know.

Sam Harris gets back in the VBW ring for another round on moral responsibility, ethical theories, and the grounds for our obligations to other people. 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? Plus, Twitter shaming: what is it good for? Settle in, get comfortable, pour yourself a drink, you’re in for the long haul on this one.
