transformative experiences. They discuss how certain experiences
change the self, the nature of regret, changing belief systems,
conspiracy thinking, empathy, doing good in the world, our
relationship to our future selves, changing our values, the
nature of possibility, the ethics of punishment, moral luck, the
moral landscape, consequentialism, and other topics.
