You're listening to a podcast from Meaning of Life TV.

Hi, Paul.

Hi, Bob.

How you doing?

I'm doing very well.

Thanks for having me over.

Oh, my pleasure.

You're one of my favorite guests.

You know, one thing I like about you?

One of many, it's a long list, is that, you know, with you, I don't feel I need like a unifying theme, like this one thing we're going to talk about, you know?

Because so vast and diverse is your knowledge.

That's a great example.

That's a great example.

We haven't prepared at all.

And turning it into a compliment and a benefit. You may have thought it was a bug. Oh, so wrong. So wrong. Such a feature. It's a feature. And you are a feature, moreover. Let me get back to my theme of how great you are. You are a feature, not a bug, Paul Bloom. Let me introduce us.

I'm Robert Wright. Does the Right Show available on both streaming video and via audio podcast?

You're Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology at Yale, author of many books, including how pleasure works, against empathy, colon, and the subtitle is important here, folks, lest you judge Paul,

colon, the case for rational compassion.

So he's against empathy in a good cause and in a good way.

And then it's never too soon to pre-order this fall, the sweet spot, colon, the pleasures of suffering, and the search for meaning.

Thank you.

Yeah.
