Ep. 154 - Philosophical Reasons for the Soul and Reincarnation w/Dr. Mike Huemer
In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined once again by Dr. Michael Huemer. This time we discuss two of his recent papers in which he argues that the probability we are reincarnated given the infinity of the past and the future is 1, and that we are immaterial souls! Huemer is a non-religious philosopher who argues for substance dualism and reincarnation! It's wild, but he's super sharp and provides really strong arguments for his conclusions.
