Dr. Jon Matheson, philosopher and author of "Why It's OK Not to Think for Yourself," joins the podcast to discuss the concept of thinking for oneself. They explore the balance between epistemic autonomy and deference to others' beliefs, the acceptability of not thinking for oneself, and the importance of deferring to experts in certain areas. The podcast also dives into the role of self-knowledge, the significance of intellectual responsibility, and the idea that a paper can always be improved.
