Reply to comment by Grim-Reality in Professor Martha C. Nussbaum on Vulnerability, Politics, and Moral Worth with Sam Harris by palsh7

45 minutes of free discussion of philosophy isn’t worth listening to?

Most free discussion of philosophy isn't worth listening to, and might in fact have negative value. I'm not convinced these 45 minutes are different, based on your summary.

It wasn’t if your already familiar with the subject and have read nussbaum’s works. I learned very little, from the first 45 mins. I will listen to the rest, im sure it has more to teach.

You’re trying strangely hard to be negative for someone who just listened to a free 45 minutes of someone they’re interested in hearing from, commented elsewhere that it was a “great” episode, and then signed up for a free three months of the podcast so that they can listen to the second half.

Not really, I meant it’s a great episode in general. People will learn from it. It’s not meant to be negative, you asked me personally what I got out of the first 45 mins. And i didn’t sign up just for this episode, I’m going to go back and check out the 300 other episodes.

I’m glad you like it. I’m not sure why you said it wasn’t worth listening to.
