Paul Bloom takes some time away from his "Waking Up" appearances
to join us for a very special movie episode: our top three films
about empathy. Can movies help us understand the experiences of
people who live completely different lives? Do serial killers need
empathy to
effectively torture their victims? Does empathy make you want to
blow up the world, or lead naked men into black liquid-y voids?
Plus Paul and David try to bully Tamler into watching "Westworld."
Also, buy Paul's new book (link below) "Against Empathy"! [Note:
this episode is heavy on the spoilers. If you're worried, check the
links below--they contain the titles for each movie in the order
discussed on the podcast].
