Episode 7: Psychopaths and Utilitarians Pt. 2 (Now with more poo poo) - a podcast by Tamler Sommers & David Pizarro

After a clip fromThe
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 somewhatrelevant 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’sbehavior, does that mean the behavior is morally wrong? Tune in to find out…
