Is it worth trying to develop 'Character' or is this just a good way to get taken advantage of?

In Episode #356 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: how my book review influenced this episode, almost going on a date while sick, why great character might just be NOT doing bad things, why behaving virtuously might not pay off in the long run, ways to tell if someone has moral qualities and why we think the V4V model is the most ethical system out there!

Big thanks to Petar and Liam F's Mum for showing great virtue in supporting the show!

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
