Episode 7: Psychopaths and Utilitarians Pt. 2 (Now with more poo poo)

from Very Bad Wizards · host Tamler Sommers & David Pizarro

After a clip from The Third Man, Dave and Tamler continue their discussion from Episode 6 on Ted Bundy, utilitarians, and trolley problems. They also talk about Tamler's TED talk envy, inappropriate acts with trees, and make a plea for more listener feedback. The second segment begins with the long-awaited return of the 'eat the poo-poo' clip, but this time in a somewhat relevant context. Dave and Tamler then discuss the role that emotions play in moral judgment and the role they should play. If we feel disgust at someone's behavior,  does that mean the behavior is morally wrong?
