David and Tamler talk about Caitrin Keiper\u2019s wonderful sprawling essay on elephant life and society and the many philosophical questions surrounding these extraordinary creatures. What kind of mental states can we attribute to them? Do they have a kind of language? Are they moral? What are our moral duties to them? What accounts for the long-standing taboo against \u2018anthropomorphizing\u2019 elephants and other complex non-human animals? And lots more.

Plus, a new segment \u201cthere should be a German word for this\u201d - we come\xa0up with new German words for common phenomena or experiences. And a\xa0big announcement in the promo segment about the podcast going forward.

Please consider supporting a long-time listener\u2019s attempt to get their\xa0family out of Gaza.[gofundme.com]
