AI Lovers, Don't Judge - July 23, 2025

from The Last Show with David Cooper · host David Cooper

London-based foreign correspondent Tony Five covers: Surgeon accused of lying about his own amputation in £466k insurance claim; and Indian police arrest man accused of running a fake embassy. Psychology professor Dr. Kenneth DeMarree extols the benefits of listening well. Philosophy professor Dr. Neil McArthur explains why we shouldn't judge someone for taking an AI lover. Agricultural economics professors Dr. Sofia Berto Villas-Boas and Dr. Rebecca (Becca) Taylor discuss how consumers prefer self-checkout when buying stigmatized products. After that, it's Therapy Thursdays on a Wednesday with Gary Direnfeld on the topic of resilience. On Vet Talk – or is it Pet Talk? – Dr. Cliff Redford tells David what TV shows your pet prefers and ponders whether electronic litter boxes and dog-washing machines are safe.
