<description>Antisocial psychologists, Bo, Cory, and Lee discuss the peer review process in science--the reasons for it, the problems with it, and whether there is any compelling evidence for bias in peer review beyond their own anecdotal annoyances.

How woke is academia REALLY?

In this special episode of Psyphilopod, Bo and original co-host Cory Clark are joined by the wonderful Diana Fleischman to discuss the ethics of our treatment of animals. First, they discuss utilitarianism, which is the basic moral framework through which Diana thinks about these issues. Then they get into the weeds of the morality of diets, asking and attempting to answer such questions as: Is it always wrong to eat animals? What’s a suffering footprint? Is hunting more ethical than fast food? How do we know that animals actually experience pain?

Building Biden's America: The infrastructure plan, Noem's kerfuffle, and the post-liberal order by Cobo Clargard

Building Biden's America: The infrastructure plan, Noem's kerfuffle, and the post-liberal order

Bo and Ben discuss Josh Hawley and post-liberal conservatism. What is post-liberal conservatism? Is it actually post-liberal? Bo and Ben agree that it is largely a high-level philosophical criticism of some liberal principles that is remains within the liberal paradigm. But there is something real at stake in the debate. Bo has more sympathy for Ahmari and others than does Ben, but he agrees that their positive program is at best inchoate.

They then discuss Joe Biden’s economic vision, or “Bidenomics.” Does Biden have a coherent economic vision? And if he does, is it one we should want to promote? Bo and Ben agree that there is a kind of vision, that it’s mostly positive, but worry about the size of the stimulus package and think Biden should focus more on infrastructure.
