Two Psychologists Four Beers

Episode 114: Psychology Worth Doing (with Paul Bloom)


Listen Later

Paul Bloom joins the show to talk about a recent paper in which he argues that much of developmental psychology is not worth doing. We also talk about where he thinks psychology has succeeded, and whether we should be more skeptical of progressive-friendly social science findings. Plus: is it ever a good idea to tell your friend that the person they're dating is bad for them?

Special Guest: Paul Bloom.
