When Philosophy Goes Sideways

When Philosophy Goes Sideways is the 199th episode of the Very Bad Wizards podcast, released on October 20, 2020.

Show Notes

David and Tamler check out some recent work in metaphysics and applied ethics. Does playing a Nina Simone song sideways show that Einstein was wrong about spacetime? Does a Dali painting nailed to the wall backwards have intrinsic value (see figure 1)? Is childhood bad for children? Do you have to be a child before you're an adult? Are we kidding? Is this a joke? We don't know but don't play this podcast sideways or it may lose its aesthetic value. Sponsored By: The Great Courses Plus: Never stop learning. Pursue your passion. Quench your curiosity.
