In this episode, we discuss how philosophy of mind and the science of consciousness has non-trivial and significant implications in the realm of ethics. We cover topics such as mixed valence states, logarithmic scales of pleasure and pain, personal identity, and the symmetry theory of valence. Finally, we brainstorm a bit about what a great reality show it would be for philosophers to take drugs and go on meditation retreats while talking about ethics and philosophy of mind.
