Ota: I've always been puzzled byt people whold differing intuition with the way the transporter works is it makes a duplicate of you in some other place and invaizes you. And my thought is ask, why vaporize you? Why don't you just have scotty come ut with an axe and hit you in the face with it? Well, then it would make clear what you're trying to hide, which is your dead. The prescige is on top there because he doesn't require big action shots. If you havent seen the prestige, stop right here. Im, he dies every single time, right?

Can a fully determined creature deliberate? How big a role does conscious reasoning play in moral judgment and everyday life? Are we responsible for our thoughts and actions? Paul Bloom rejoins us against his better judgment to discuss his book "Just Babies" and his recent article in The Atlantic that set the internet on the fire and riled up the likes of Sam Harris and Jerry Coyne. Plus, what's the difference (if any) between getting into a Star Trek transporter and getting an axe to the head, and why does David know so much about boy bands?
