The Weinstein brothers have been busy bees over the past few weeks/months(!) and it left Matt and Chris with a conundrum. How do they cover them as part of an intro segment without it turning into a five hour podcast? The solution was to make a two hour stand alone special episode purely dedicated to exploring the wonders (and shivering at the occasional horrors) as we try to map the terrain of Weinstein World. To help us navigate the alien geography and provide a 'relatively normal person' sanity check we have enlisted the help of the famed psychologist, David Pizarro, also known for co-hosting Very Bad Wizards (a small, upcoming ghost-hunting/philosophy podcast).Together with David we decode ancient mysteries, like why does Eric always wear a jacket?, we solve deep existential puzzles, like whether vodka can cure all conflicts, and we ponder heretofore unimagined possibilities, like how successful an audiobook of Fifty Shades of Grey read by Sam Harris and Heather Heying would be.So we hope you will join us on this exploration and remember our core message: *You do not have to promote anti-vaccine rhetoric & unproven miracle cures during a global pandemic*LinksVery Bad Wizards(!): David's excellent podcast hosted with philosopher Tammler SommersVery Bad Wizards Episode 191: All the RageRebel Wisdom interview with Eric Weinstein: Vaccines, Ivermectin & Dark HorseRebel Wisdom: Better Skeptics for the Dark HorseRebel Wisdom: Yuri Deigin Responds to Bret Weinstein on Vaccines, Ivermectin & QuilletteBret and Heather 92nd DarkHorse Podcast Livestream: The Blankest SlateClaire Berlinski & Yuri Deigin's Article on Quillette: Looking for COVID-19 ‘Miracle Drugs’?

Tamler Sommers, a philosopher and co-host of the Very Bad Wizards podcast, and David Pizarro, a psychologist and consultant at BEworks, engage in a lively discussion. They examine the tension between psychology and philosophy during the COVID-19 pandemic, questioning the respect psychology commands. The duo tackles the complexities of measuring emotions like authoritarianism and love while critiquing both their fields. They also share humorous insights on personal hobbies, bridging light-hearted banter with deep philosophical questions.

David Pizarro, Cornell psychologist who studies disgust and moral judgment, and Huggy Rao, Stanford organizational scholar on vision versus execution, join the conversation. They explore how disgust shapes politics, persuasion, and social exclusion. They also discuss why big ideas fail without practical execution and how to build lasting systems.

Join David Pizarro, a psychology professor at Cornell, along with Paul Rosin, the renowned 'godfather of disgust studies,' and Senthoran Raj, an Associate Professor of Human Rights Law. They delve into the complex emotion of disgust, tracing its evolutionary roots and its influence on culture, politics, and morality. The discussion reveals how disgust shapes our identities and societal norms, the irony of our dietary choices, and its darker use in dehumanization and law. Get ready for an intriguing exploration of why disgust is both essential and perilous!

David Pizarro, Professor of Psychology at Cornell University, discusses moral psychology, praise, blame, social cognition, and the relationship between disgust and political affiliation. They explore the concept of morality, intuition in psychology, asymmetries in praise and blame judgments, blaming non-human objects, AI rights, the evolution and usage of disgust, linguistic relativism, and the impact of disgust on moral judgment and political orientation.
