David lewis always argued holistically. He would argue for every metaphysical viewalistically, not on the is of one thing. That's another distinctively luisian way of doing philosophy which some people hate and some people absolutely love. So he actually believed, he wasn't just saying, like, conceptually, imagine there's on another world with this mutation from our world. You saying, no, itit exists. Famously, that's what distinguished leuis from just about everybody else.
First, it’s the return of the annual drunken Thanksgiving segment! Tamler and based wicked stepmom Christina Hoff Sommers fight about JFK, systematic racism, corporations, and how to pronounce valium. (We find more common ground than usual though on Covid and Havana Syndrome.) Then podcast auteur Barry Lam joins David and Tamler to talk about David Lewis on time travel, the new season of Barry’s excellent podcast Hi-Phi Nation, and then a deep dive on maybe the best time travel movie of all time - Shane Carruth's mind-melting cult classic "Primer."
Special Guests: Barry Lam and Christina Hoff Sommers.
