Episode notes

i would like to do an episode on reduction. Is iwasright, that it is the default kind of view? Ye. And there i agree with the sort of culture critism because science is a culture too. It can't be denied that there is a culture o science that is super reductionistic. Adnd, yet, it's not good for the human spirit as well.

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.
