i don't have an argument against most of what peter singer recommends when he says that, you know, all of us are malignantly selfish in how we spend our time and resources. But still, ii just want et hot sut sua t universe where you thrive and 60 % of the world doesn't thrive,. versus you thrive a little less and 56% of the universe thrive.

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.
