#142 - Thus Spoke Zarathustra

(Apologies for the white noise, Dan recorded this episode on vinyl) Connor and Dan brave the California winter storms to bring you an episode on Friedrich Nietzsche's experimental novel Thus Spoke Zarathustra. They're talkin' Ubermensch. They're talkin' eternal recurrence. And, of course, even though nobody asked them to, they're talkin' Star Wars. Stay spoke y'all!

#144 - Moral Luck

How big of a role does luck play in our moral lives? Are we still to blame if certain factors are out of our control? How much are you allowed to drink at Dave & Busters? That last question might be unrelated. But that won't stop Connor and Dan from discussing it on this week's episode all about Moral Luck. Also discussed: the total dick move of drunk driving, and Connor's continued success with temporary sobriety.
