It took two tries (the first one led to a big non-productive
fight), but David and Tamler end up with a good discussion of honor
and its connection to identity, pride, and personal relationships.
Why have we rejected honor in favor of dignity? What are the costs
and benefits of doing that? How do people "find themselves" in an
industrialized anonymous society? What should you do when someone
insults your sister and you're playing in the final of the World
Cup? The seminal paper by Peter Berger "On the Obsolescence of the
Culture of Honor" (along with Tamler's new book) was the launching
point for the discussion (links to both in show notes).
