The Project returns from a short break! Today Norm bites the bullet and takes us on an in depth look at the major criticisms for Social Contract to see if this moral theory can truly weather the storm . Will Brittny be convinced?  Would Nick destroy all life on the Earth? And what does Chalmer have against children? The future doesn't matter in this edition of Norm's Conceptual Corner.
