The Detroit Dadcast#15.

The Virtues Control Panel with James HughesCan we program ourselves to be better people?
Phil and Stephen welcome James Hughes to discuss his concept of a Virtues Control Panel:
"What I imagine is a virtues control panel with sliders that determine the balance of moral impulses, cognition and behavior in different situations, governed by a morality operating system.
