Having read Stan's book THE MORAL PREMISE a few years ago, I felt I had a good general understanding of the concept. However, the video proved a great refresher and helped me rethink the various elements of a proposal I was working on. I have a feeling I'll be viewing these training videos regularly to keep the concepts fresh in my mind.
