Episode 95: On Morality, Moralizing, and Elephant Jockeys (Round Table)

from The Theory of Anything · host Bruce Nielson and Peter Johansen

This time we invited some of the coolest and smartest people we know to have a freewheeling discussion on morality loosely centered on Jonathan Haidt's “rider and the elephant” metaphor. We take a deep dive into this idea that moral reasoning is a slave to our passions.
