This episode of very bad wizards is sponsored, once again, by the i m bio podcast. Where do bio technology, patience and our planet all intersect find out by listening to the im bio podcast. The podcast is hosted by doctor michel mc murray heath, president and c eo of the biotechnology innovation organization. This fall, i m bio dives into to day's important issues.
David and Tamler take their first real look at pragmatism via Richard Rorty’s “Solidarity or Objectivity.” Can we discover facts about the world as it “really is,” independent of our own culturally influenced methods of inquiry? If not, does that make us relativists? Is David right about pragamatism being an ass-backward approach to scientific truth, or is he just a pragmatist who’s not ready to admit that to himself? Plus, does "The Little Mermaid" have to be white? What about Clark Kent? And we select the topic finalists for our Patreon listener selected episode.
