We tackle the question of whether the capability for harm is a prerequisite for true goodness, and we dissect the hero archetype with Superman as our moral compass. Our exchange ranges from the moral instincts that surface in extreme situations to the burden of assessing one's own moral character. With Martin's insights, we've crafted a conversation that's as thought-provoking as it is engaging.Strap in for a candid chat on personal accountability, sparked by the recent ripples in Jordan Peterson's universe.
