When you would visit her, it was like you were visiting a zombie. But there was a point before that when she first started showing signs of the dementia,. Her whole life, she'd actually been a very mean person. She's not capable of really saying nice things to anyone. The symptoms that she had was she just would compliment people all the time. And she was super sweet, super nice, very loving for the first time in her life.
The guest we've been waiting for--Nina Strohminger--joins us to talk about the connection between disgust and humor, cheap laughs, moral character and personal identity, and the British opt-in plan for porn. Plus: how psychologists measure erections and Dave goes Platonist about the form of hilarity. Tamler's daughter should have issued an extra strong disclaimer for this one.
