Hang the DJ continues. Again and again and again, probably about 1000 times, depending on which number you're fixated on. There is a way you can tell it's a new version, though, cause we got all new intro quotes! Thanks so much for sending those in, such a great selection to choose from, and if you didn't hear yours, don't worry it is in the hopper for future rounds.

We've returned to Black Mirror to talk about one of the episodes that started this all, Hand the DJ. Or maybe we're just yet another simulation of that in a test by a marketing brand to see if this show would work. Hard to say, really. Speaking of endless cycles, we're due for a new set of intro quotes so if you're a $5+ patron make sure you head over to the patreon site to submit suggestions and vote for your favorites! And we've got the signed book raffle on July 4 for Hamilton and Philosophy as just another way to say thank!

In this episode we discuss Newcomb's Paradox which leads to Free Will vs. Determinism. We then talk about the American penal system and death sentences. Lastly, we end by talking about Republics vs. Dictatorships. And don't forget, we talk about Turkey and Djibouti (ja-booty!). But who really cares about Turkey, any ways? Subscribe to Us on iTunes!

This episode of Rationally Speaking features philosopher Kenny Easwaran, who delves into the notorious "Newcomb's Paradox" -- the puzzle about which it was once said, "To almost everyone it is perfectly clear and obvious what should be done. The difficulty is that these people seem to divide almost evenly on the problem, with large numbers thinking that the opposing half is just being silly." Kenny and Julia explore how Newcomb's Paradox is related to other puzzles in decision theory, like the Prisoners' Dilemma; what its implications are for free will; and what Kenny calls the "deep tragedy" at the heart of rationality. Kenny Easwaran is an Associate Professor in the Philosophy Department at Texas A&M University. He works on several topics relating to epistemology and decision theory, and the role of probability in helping to understand these and related concepts.

Episode Audio Dave and Tamler talk about the value and purposes of thought experiments in philosophy and science. Does the trolley problem tell us more about moral psychology than how people make judgments introlley problems? Can an imagined scenario about two balls refute an almost two thousand year old theory of falling objects?  When young virgin Dave learned all the physical facts about sex, did he learnanything new when it finally happened?  All this and more in Part One of our two part episode on this topic.LinksThe experience machine [wikipedia.org]Mary the color scientist [wikipedia.org]Zombies [wikipedia.org]Qualia [wikipedia.org]The Violinist from "A defense of Abortion" [wikipedia.org]The Ship of Theseus [wikipedia.org]Newcomb's Paradox [wikipedia.org]Ring of Gyges [wikipedia.org]Peter Singer's thought experiment [wikipedia.org]Veil of Ignorance [wikipedia.org]Galileo's Balls [philosophical-investigations.org]Tamler's Zombie Paper
