There was a paper on moral self licensing that sauerkraps contributes to Nazi-esque right-wing ideology more than drinking either nothing or a less healthy beverage. Next topic, autonomous cars and how to program them. People want other people's cars to be totalitarian because if you give a dilemma, like there's three people on a narrow bridge and your car, it's rainy, they popped out of nowhere. By the way, I saw a girl get hit in a cornel,. And I had a grabber and take her to the hospital and file a police report.
Special guest Eric Schwitzgebel joins David and Tamler to discuss the moral behavior (or lack thereof) of ethicists. Does moral reflection make us better people, or does it just give us better excuses to be immoral? Who's more right about human nature--Mencius or Xun Zi? What did Kant have against bastards and masturbating? Plus, we talk about jerks, robot cars, and killing baby Hitler. (Godwin's Law within 1:42--might be a new record for us).
