In this episode, Josh and Ian get into the philosophical weeds over traditional values, and whether or not they hold a place in today's Western culture. They then relate values to free will, whether or not they think humanity is endowed with it, and its implications on criminal justice and mental illness. They also cover "call-out culture" and whether or not it's useful or hurtful, especially in relation to Louis C.K. and the HBO special Talking Funny. And they have a good-faith, heated exchange on the morality of billionaires.
