"Accessibility seemed like a shortcut to truth, right? So you'd say auto looks at his notebook and he knows where 53rd street is. Now you look at the internet and you have eight different eight different locations for the museum and you cannot make sense of it." "I think the inability to distinguish the truth and policy of information on the internet is an actual reason to consider that mere access to the information as an auto's notebook is just is not sufficient to make the argument," she says.

David and Tamler break down a recent classic in the philosophy of mind: "The Extended Mind" by Andy Clark and David Chalmers. What is boundary of your mind? Is it contained with your body, or does it extend to the external environment--to your laptop, notebook, smartphone and more? Is this a purely terminological question, or one with practical and moral significance? And what is the role of intuition in providing an answer? Plus, Dave shares an email alerting him to the psychological trauma of male circumcision along with an exciting all-natural method for restoring the foreskin (that was stolen from us as infants).
