Episode notes

I agree with everything you just said, but i also don't think it answers the question at all. It's an extreme case on the real end of the spectrumbut. You are acting in every way that i think tamler and i want people to act when they see a case of moral wrong doing by somebody who seems a gentic. I will hold this certain attitude toward you, as if you ought to have done otherwise. And that's all i mean by blame and responsibility. The same thing applies to us in ways that we don't necessarily currently understand or even glimpse.

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.
