Episode notes

i think the plausibility of the argume depends on everyone believing the same thing, and especially maybe agreeing in perception. But here it's like, like, who the hell knows what there exactly it is that they're saying? And not only that, it's not even clear that they're perceiving it at all, just that they believe t theyre looking at rivers and feeling like the rivers are talking to them,. or maybe they are, but nothing that is presented here indicates that, right? You know. Also, ah o, so there's few things, i think we're got it. We probably get to the debunking explanation for the point that im about to make.

Panpsychism didn't give us river spirits or mischievous sootballs, so this time we go straight to the source - a defense of animism, and in a top 10 analytic philosophy journal. Could a failed argument for the existence of God establish the existence of trees and mountains with “interiority” and “social characteristics”? Tamler wants to believe, but is the argument that'll push him over the edge?

Plus – speaking of top journals, a doozy of social psych article: Is forgiveness better than revenge at rehumanizing the self? Let's check the voodoo dolls to find out. Tamler is delighted by David’s reaction to this one.
