Episode notes

I'm grateful for Ed Bruebaker the comic book artist. Well my master's student if you're a professor at a top PhD program. This guy is for real. I just when you send me your audio track I just listen to yours without mine and I just hate listen to you hate listen to. A friend here that does that. If you like noir and you haven't read comics read some of Ed Brue bakers it is like watching film noir but reading it in comic book form. It would make us even more grateful.

Special guest Valerie Tiberius joins us to talk about values, well-being, and friendship. What role should reflection play in the good life? What about emotion? How can we make our values more consistent and sustainable? Do we know our friends better than we know ourselves? Plus, are philosophers experts? Experts of what? What are the boundaries of our discipline? And what motivates a gay Mormon to stay in the Church? In the first segment, David and Tamler list a few things they're grateful for on Thanksgiving, including you, the listeners (awwwwww...)
