Episode notes

i love how you're somehow blaming philosophers for this. You're the ones that tell us these effects are true. So we'll see when your o, when your book comes out on honor, we'll see if you make the mistake of actually citing one of the studies in these hundred that didn't get reughly. Fortunately, nobody's doing at well, not unfortunately. I guess nobody's doing any studies on honor or ese for it's very rare. It's shockingly hard to find studies on honor and honor based values and attitudes and all that. i'm going to have to do it, you know, old school, just by appealing to just go to honor cultures and insult

David and Tamler return after an end of summer hiatus to finally talk about the ethics of deception….eventually. But first they break down a recent article in the journal Science documenting an attempt to replicate 100 recent psychology experiments. What does it mean that just over 1/3 of the studies were successfully replicated? Is social psychology in crisis or is this just how science works? Will David somehow try to pin the blame on philosophers?

Plus--a brief and almost certainly regrettable foray into the Ashley Madison hack, the neuroscience of lying to your kids about Santa, and we announce a new way to contact us to help celebrate our 75th anniversary.
