Very bad wizards is a podcast with a philosopher, my dad, and psychologist Dave Pizarro. We're having an informal discussion about issues in science and ethics. Please note that the discussion contains bad words that I'm not allowed to say,. And knowing my dad, some very inappropriate jokes.
David and Tamler talk about William James’ chapter on mysticism from his book "Varieties of Religious Experience." What defines a mystical experience? Why do they defy expression and yet feel like a state of knowledge, a glimpse into the window of some undiscovered aspect of reality? Is Tamler right that David has a little mystic inside of him just waiting to burst forth from his breast?
Plus – another edition of VBW does conceptual analysis and we’re sticking with ‘c’ words – this time the definitive theory of ‘creepy.’
