i'm not above lying. I think, you know, andi was tying to alex about this. She was saying, wouldn't you lie? Wouldn't you lie?" And i thought that it might provide me motivation to actually get to that number. Get, yes, get close. Like, maybe i should just go tome, just do this whole thing. There is a way in which i think most people agree that lies in these cases and deception are bad things.
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.
