David and Tamler descend into the dark pits of Hell to look Satan in the eyes and discover the nature of evil. OK\\u2026that\\u2019s not fully accurate, we just read and talk about a couple of philosophy articles that analyze the concept. What are the features of evil people and acts? Does evil just mean \\u2018really really really really bad\\u2019 or is it categorically different in some way? Can you be evil without ever actually causing harm? Is Tony Soprano evil?

Plus we take a "moral alignment" quiz (inspired by role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons). We both want to end up as \\u2018chaotic good\\u2019 but does it turn out that way? And what kind of character is a unicorn?
