Christofer and science writer Lucas Smalldon speak about epistemology in this episode of Do Explain. They discuss how Lucas found Critical Rationalism, his evolved version as different from David Deutsch's, knowledge as adapted information, universal epistemology vs. 'knowing different things are different', Seinfeld and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the importance of feeling ones feelings, and other related topics.

Lucas Smalldon is a student of critical rationalism. His blog, barelymorethanatweet.com, contains short posts on various issues from a critical rationalist perspective.
