<p>The guest we've been waiting for--Nina Strohminger--joins us to talk about the connection between disgust and humor, cheap laughs, moral character and personal identity, and the British opt-in plan for porn. Plus: how psychologists measure erections and Dave goes Platonist about the form of hilarity. Tamler's daughter should have issued an extra strong disclaimer for this one.</p> <h2>Links</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://ninastrohminger.com">Nina Strohminger</a> [ninastrohminger.com]</li> <li><a href= "http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2013/07/22/david-cameron-proposes-porn-filter.html"> David Cameron Proposes Porn Filter</a> [thedailybeast.com]</li> <li>Strohminger, N. and Nichols, S.

Tamler Sommers & David Pizarro

Very Bad Wizards is a podcast featuring a philosopher (Tamler Sommers) and a psychologist (David Pizarro), who share a love for ethics, pop culture, and cognitive science, and who have a marked inability to distinguish sacred from profane. Each podcast includes discussions of moral philosophy, recent work on moral psychology and neuroscience, and the overlap between the two.
