Description

You don't need to be a psychologist or a philosopher to enjoy a good, old-fashioned bitch-fest. In the first of a two-part episode (no single compact disc, 8-track, or LP could hold all our complaints), Tamler and David list two of the things that bug them about their respective fields. We take issue with bad writing, brain worship, meaningless questions, and psychologists' obsession with the number two. Enjoy and try not to hold it against us. LinksSimpsons clip on philosophy majors [youtube.com]Peter Hacker on philosophy [leiterreports.typepad.com]Business-speak buzzwords [wikipedia.org]Dual process theory [wikipedia.org]Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman [amazon.com]Dual-Process Theories in Social Psychology [amazon.com]Gettier Problem [wikipedia.org]Seduced by the flickering lights of the brain by Paul Bloom [seedmagazine.com]

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.
