Episode notes
When Feelings Replace Accountability
- Andrew Klavan argues that political rhetoric excuses harmful actions while scrutinizing ordinary people’s feelings and thoughts.
- He calls this “imposed narcissism,” where imagined intentions matter more than victims and consequences.
The Hodor Juror Who Held The Line
- A Massachusetts juror resisted acquitting Lindsay Clancy despite fellow jurors’ compassion and arguments about insanity.
- Klavan compares him to Hodor because one holdout prevented the jury from abandoning the evidence.
Free Will Makes Accountability Possible
- Andrew Klavan says society depends on treating people as morally responsible agents rather than unconscious products of circumstances.
- He separates accountability for individuals from evaluating whether ideologies encourage violence.
