Joel and Travis finish Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus in this episode. Why do smart people, like babies, stare at the finger rather than where it is pointing? And what does this have to do with talk of God and debating empirical data? Also, when should we be silent? All that is answered...sort of...in this podcast.

Joel and Travis talk the second essay of Nietzsche's "Genealogy of Morality." What does Nietzsche think guilt/bad conscience is? What about punishment, justice, and mercy? You might not be surprised that Nietzsche does not think our most prized moral affections are particularly...well, moral. Maybe they are just the ways the weak attempt to exert power, in that same love of power that they complain about in others? And maybe Christianity is particularly adept at wielding these elements of weakness? Sound terrible? Perhaps, but come listen and see if Nietzsche might have a point...at least a point about you.
