Episode notes

No movies, because they never w you know. I didn't put long books on. But i think i put a couple of short books, books that we could tear through. My next one, eleni, i'm going to do my best. Eleni panagio topolu, suggested stoicism. And then daisy followed up by saying, maybe one of seneca's letters. Surprisingly little, the one seneca thing that i know is stuff on anger. Keep it in mindd along that line, a stoicism is one of my pcats.

David and Tamler take their first real look at pragmatism via Richard Rorty’s “Solidarity or Objectivity.” Can we discover facts about the world as it “really is,” independent of our own culturally influenced methods of inquiry? If not, does that make us relativists? Is David right about pragamatism being an ass-backward approach to scientific truth, or is he just a pragmatist who’s not ready to admit that to himself? Plus, does "The Little Mermaid" have to be white? What about Clark Kent? And we select the topic finalists for our Patreon listener selected episode.
