Arv og Miljø
Eric Turkheimer formulerte atferdsgenetikkens tre lover:Alle menneskelig atferdstrekk er arvbare.Effekten av å vokse opp i samme familie er mindre enn effekten av gener.En stor andel av variasjonen i et komplekst trekk forklares hverken av gener eller familie. 30 år senere er han kritisk til hvor fruktbart studiene av arvbarhet faktisk er. Sammen med Hannah Bull Thorvik fra Klassekampen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THE SAGE
To paraphrase the great Norwegian essayist Georg Johannesen in his preface to the translation of Tu Fu: «The evening tabloids come out every day, but an interview about Confucius with philosophy professor Bryan Van Norden (Vassar College, NY) on a Norwegian podcast comes out only every 2000th year — it should have been the other way around.» An absolute must-listen!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Common Sense
Sturla rightfully got some friendly critique from Ole Martin Moen (Oxford/Oslo Met) for only having skeptics on discussing free will and moral responsibility and took it as a challenge. In this episode he is talking to philsophy professor Eddy Nahmias (Georgia State) about the compatibalist view, and about the view that one can be punished solely to inflict harm on wrongdoers. Eddy is explaining this view in a most sympathetic and commonsensical manner and as it turns out the two fonds more common ground than points of contention. As promised by his «friends» from the skeptic side the conversation with Eddy ended up very fruitful and Sturla so far can only agree with Derk Pereboom that the free will scene is a super cool scene with super cool people - on all sides - this far.
