Hosts Dale Adams and Ron Cisneros explore moral relativism vs. moral absolutism — debating whether fairness is innate or taught (using a chocolate-chip-cookie thought experiment and a fair-trading otter), where morals, values, and ethics differ, whether religion is required for morality, and how the growth of laws has made society lose sight of natural law. They close with a provocative thought experiment about left-handedness being deemed "immoral," a critique of how environmental and drug-legalization debates get mislabeled as moral issues, and a book recommendation on discretion and fewer rules.
