Please be cautious in using the transcripts.

They were created mechanically and have mostly not been checked or revised.

Here is how they were created:

  1. live lecture recorded;
  2. machine transcription of live recording;
  3. ask LLM to clean up transcript, and link to individual slides.

This is an error-prone process.

Q: What do adult humans compute that enables their moral intuitions to track moral attributes (such as wrongness)?

Sinnott-Armstrong et al (2010): their emotional responses
(Hypothesis about the Affect Heuristic)

Mikhail (2007; 2014): morally relevant structure (used to track moral attributes)
(Hypothesis about a linguistic moral module)

Each view is a response to a different puzzle.

Neither seems fully able to explain the puzzles

Our task is to develop a theory that can solve the puzzles, is theoretically coherent and empirically motivated, and generates novel testable predictions.
