In their first quarantine version, P&C drink and review two beers -- For Pete's Sake and Torpedo -- and then discuss shame vs. guilt, and how a shame culture differs from a guilt culture.
Guilt stems from the feeling that you have violated a moral norm. You can have guilt over something you've done alone in the dark. Shame requires an audience. It's related to how others perceive you.
Shame culture might also be called honor culture, and it leads to a very different sort of society. Guilt may be no fun, but it makes for a better culture than shame.
