The spirited Q & A session ended at 11:55 am as another class was coming in to use the room. I shook Prof. Frankfurt's hand telling him how much I enjoyed his lectures and discussions. I asked him about his statement that "many philosophers have tried to prove that bad people don't live good lives, but none had succeeded." Then I mentioned Buddha's law of karma which extends beyond a single lifetime. So evil doings will be punished eventually in subsequent lifetimes. Prof. Frankfurt responded: "That's just a statement but there's no proof."
