CHAPTER

The Role of Philosophy in Addressing Debates over Evidence

The speakers highlight the absence of philosophers in resolving discussions on topics like climate change and COVID, emphasizing the need for applied philosophers to reconcile conflicting bodies of evidence. They argue that philosophers should apply their knowledge to help society by analyzing claims and counterclaims, and discuss the importance of understanding basic concepts such as burdens and thresholds of proof. The chapter also explores the relationship between rationalists and Bayesian analysis, and questions the potential dangers of mRNA platform vaccines and the immune system's reaction to them.
