Ep. 113 - Guilty Pleasure
In this episode we discuss the idea of a guilty pleasure. What are we communicating when say something like: It's not good, but it's entertaining? By disavowing the good in what we find pleasurable (i.e., entertaining), are we implicitly recognizing some misalignment between goodness and pleasure? If so, does this misalignment tell us that something's gone wrong in our world of experience? And can we overcome it?
