Episode notes

Ourigh: What if it was actually of better consequence to society that the father immediately killed you, or that there is some sort of a actual impartial third party that delivers the justice? Ourigh: I think tamler is saying that he is. He's claimed that he is insensitive to consequences. The example at you gave about forgiveness, just happened to resinate with tamler's other views on interpersonal, the interpersonal nature of moral responsibility.

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.
