The Salon: Paul Bloom talks 'Against Empathy'

Joshua Teperowski Monrad '20 interviews Professor Paul Bloom on the topic of empathy. Professor Bloom argues that the psychological mechanism has its limitations and explains how it sometimes can be downright harmful.

This is the first segment in a new YTV/Opinion series: "The Salon," where prominent campus thinkers are interviewed and guests are invited to reflect on the subject matter.

Move the microphone higher up and clip it either on the necktie or on the lapel closest to the guest. Otherwise you will always be speaking away from the microphone. The writer submits a manuscript, the publisher publishes the book. When framing your shot try to give speaking room. In these sorts of interviews you shouldn't shoot either individual with a profile that doesn't allow us to see both of their eyes. Your black levels look too high. The video levels look too high on the two shot. It appears that too much light is reflecting off of the white table. Place your key lights on the outside. The shadows are really odd.
