Very bad wizards is a podcast with a philosopher, my dad, and psychologist Dave Pizarro. The discussion contains bad words that I'm not allowed to say, and knowing my dad some very inappropriate jokes. Tamler Summers: My previous self promised to do an episode on parfit if we did a deep dive on stalker,. But you know, it was my previous self that made that commitment.
Tamler’s earlier self committed to doing an episode on Parfit, and David holds his current self to that promise, which shows how unconvinced David was by Parfit’s skepticism about personal identity. Or something like that. We argue about the value of Parfit’s sci-fi thought experiments and the implications of believing there’s no clear sense of “me.” Plus, we talk about a recent article on aphantasia – the inability to conjure images in your mind – and the question that pops into everyone’s head when they hear about this condition.
