Our most irresponsible episode ever!\\xa0 Dave and Tamler talk about two reviews of a book they haven\'t read--Joshua Greene\'s Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them--and feel only a little shame. \\xa0 (Since the recording, at least one of us has finished the book).\\xa0 Can Greene successfully debunk all non-utilitarian intuitions?\\xa0 Does Greene have a dark enough view of human nature?\\xa0 What would an ideal moral world look like?\\xa0\\xa0 Will Dave ever stop making fun of Tamler\'s haunted boy haircut?\\xa0 We answer all of these questions and more.\\xa0 Plus we respond to a listener\'s email and read a couple of our favorite iTunes reviews.
