Street Epistemology with Anthony Magnabosco
Embrace The Void
Exploring Defeaters and Evidence Thresholds
This chapter delves into the concept of having sufficient defeaters for deeply held beliefs, using examples like the moral claim of the Nazis doing wrong and the importance of robust evidence for extraordinary claims. It discusses evidence thresholds in belief formation, personal biases, and the potential impact of Street Epistemology on promoting less certainty among individuals with conspiratorial beliefs. The conversation also touches on the limitations of SE as a sole solution to misinformation, emphasizing the need for systemic solutions and explores the challenges with language in immunology and mental health.
