So this big debate on science and ethics happened at Arizona State. Some heavy-hitters on the philosophy side took part (only one participant was from ASU, and I don't know who that guy is, but the visiting philosophers Peter Singer, Simon Blackburn, and Patricia Churchland are all bigshots). I haven't watched all of it yet, but it looks pretty great.

Nice interview with Richard Feynman about how a reasonable person views the world.
