We don't even know that they're clones. Like this is a big spoiler, right? We know something's up. But we don't know what for the first part of the book. In the same way they've decided not to deal with factory farms. They just don't want to know about it. And that's one of the things that the people who are trying to end it are trying to break through. It seems like the only real support for those kinds of principles is grounded in some sort of sentiment. There's so much wrong.
Paul Bloom takes some time away from his "Waking Up" appearances to join us for a very special movie episode: our top three films about empathy. Can movies help us understand the experiences of people who live completely different lives? Do serial killers need empathy to effectively torture their victims? Does empathy make you want to blow up the world, or lead naked men into black liquid-y voids? Plus Paul and David try to bully Tamler into watching "Westworld." Also, buy Paul's new book (link below) "Against Empathy"! [Note: this episode is heavy on the spoilers. If you're worried, check the links below--they contain the titles for each movie in the order discussed on the podcast].
