Ep 41: Michael Huemer on Social Contracts, War, and Pushing Fat People in front of Trains

Philosopher Michael Huemer and I discuss the idea that we are bound by a social contract, as well as other issues. We compare the state to the mafia, talk about ethical intuitionism, discuss who should get to vote, and debate whether it's actually possible to be a vegan.
