Ep. 527 How Can We Critically Reflect on the Quality of Our Reasoning?

On January 25th at 10am Central, 4pm, UTC, Join the Street Epistemology Town Hall here: https://streamyard.com/5k25zcuwin What happens when we stop trying to win conversations—and start examining how we know what we think we know? Learn more at https://navigatingbeliefs.com In this long-form conversation, I’m joined by Anthony Magnabosco, Executive Director of Street Epistemology International, to explore Street Epistemology (SE): a conversational approach designed to help people reflect on the quality of their reasoning—especially around deeply held, emotionally charged beliefs. We discuss: ✅ What Street Epistemology is (and what it is not) ✅ SE vs. debate, deliberation, and dialogue ✅ Persuasion, advocacy, and ethical boundaries ✅ Cognitive biases like confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance ✅ The “outsider test” and other reflection-triggering techniques ✅ Belief, identity, tribalism, and polarization ✅ Intellectual humility and critical self-reflection ✅ Whether SE can be a tool for healing—not just reasoning ✅ Why calm, curiosity-driven conversations struggle in the modern attention economy This episode is for anyone interested in better conversations, critical thinking, and navigating disagreement without coercion, ridicule, or performative outrage. 🎧 Ideal for educators, students, dialogue practitioners, skeptics, and anyone trying to make sense of belief, belonging, and truth in a polarized world.
