David Benatar, author of 'Very Practical Ethics,' joins philosopher Rebecca Tuvel to dissect the nature of bullshit. They explore whether bullshitters are aware of their deceit and categorize forms of bullshit found in academia and daily life. The duo discusses the ethics of calling out dishonesty, the tragedy of collective nonsense, and the tension between personal and social responsibility. They also delve into the role of satire and language in highlighting bullshit and strategies for navigating today's misinformation landscape.

Rebecca Tuvel, a philosopher specializing in ethics and philosophy of mind, discusses the philosophical questions raised by Black Mirror's episode 'White Bear'. Topics include punishment, personal identity, memory manipulation, the uncomfortable question of human capacity for horrific acts, the looping effect in the episode, the compatibility of positions, the role of principles, the incentive structure for attention on social media, and the role of private companies in restricting free speech.
