Episode notes

Very Bad Wizards is back with a new episode. This week, the show thanks its listeners for all their wonderful forms of support. You can either give us a one-time or a recurring donation via PayPal. Or you can become one of our beloved patreons and go to our Patreon page that's patreon.com slash very bad wizards. We look forward to seeing some of you there. All right, we're gonna take a break and will be right back to talk about whether parents matter or not.

As parents we like to think we have an impact on our children - their future, their happiness, the kinds of people they turn out to be. But are we deluded? Dave and Tamler are joined by empathy's kryponite, the great Paul Bloom, to talk about Judith Rich Harris's view that parents matter a lot less than you might think (while genes and peer groups matter a lot more than you might think) .

Plus, what the connection between art and morality? Should we support "cancel culture"? Is it wrong to play Michael Jackson's P.Y.T. (spell it out) on the radio? What about the Jackson 5? And what about art that is itself immoral? You're not gonna believe this but Louis CK gets mentioned.

Thanks to our beloved Patreon supporters for suggesting and voting for this topic!

Special Guest: Paul Bloom.
