Intrinsic Good
Lots of people have been talking about the many amazing aspects of the newest episode. From the brilliance of Janus’s name, to the beautiful sound design. But serious kudos should go to Thomas and friends for taking on the single most quintessential philosophical question there is. Intrinsic Good. Most career philosophers don’t even attempt to touch the subject. So to see it so well explained for those that might not be well versed in philosophy, it is honestly breath taking. I’m sure Thomas and friends don’t need episode ideas but after tackling Intrinsic Good I am confident in their ability to talk on subject matters such as “Why bad things happen to good people”. Or the flip side, “why good people do bad things.” The examples brought up would include the Milligram “Shock” and Stanford Prison Experiments. Both of which are exemplary of how normal, everyday people are prone to commit human rights violations, including murder, simply because an arbitrary source of authority tells them to. This would be a great way to connect previous episode themes with religion and its connection to morality. Here’s to looking forward to more genuinely brilliant and funny material from everyone involved in Thomas Sanders’ productions! @thatsthat24
