Episode 74: Pleasurable Suffering (with Paul Bloom)

Paul Bloom joins us to talk about why we want to suffer. Sometimes it's a means to an end, but sometimes we desire it for its own sake. Among other things, we talk about mountain-climbing, whether you'd want to run just the end of the marathon, experience machines, BDSM, and parenting. Plus, a very special extra guest host, kidney donation, pronouns, and trigger warnings.Special Guest: Paul Bloom.Links:Who Is the Bad Art Friend? - The New York TimesThe Sweet Spot: The Pleasures of Suffering and the Search for Meaning - Kindle edition by Bloom, Paul.
