Ep 403: Dialogue | Quinn Questions | Will | Unknowable Things

Summary: Quinn Questions interviews Will about unknowable things. Watch video of talk here: https://youtu.be/T27i4jzvzP0 Quinn's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRDZaUGlD_auyPHJyVoslMw Recorded: 26 August 2020 Released: 9 September 2020 - I remembered to turn the mics on about a minute in :) - There's a point in the middle where the video cuts out for a couple minutes, then again at the end for a few minutes - Sorry guys I'm a noob. I'm clearing my SD card before I start filming next time. Though this video is cursed with AV errors, it was probably my favorite conversation so far. It was a lesson and challenge for me to not only understand his view, but to challenge a set of very well-articulated beliefs of which I mostly agree with. SE questions proved to be very useful in grounding an incredibly theoretical and semantical conversation rooted in epistemology. I'm loosely practicing a technique called Street Epistemology.

Ep 402: Dialogue | Anthony Magnabosco | Justin | Guidance (Atheists Need God to be Good)

Summary: Justin wonders if it's possible for people to act in a moral fashion without thinking that a God is real and what's really driving that "compelling force." Watch video of talk here: https://youtu.be/fxC0S4go3j8 guid·ance /ˈɡīdəns/ noun 1. advice or information aimed at resolving a problem or difficulty, especially as given by someone in authority. Three questions for Justin (and for you): "Why exactly do you think that you would be any different?" "How would I act any different if I didn't think God was real?" "Why would I want to be less moral than I am today?" Note: I didn't notice until editing (or I probably would've said something on camera after the interview) how some of the background action happened to enhance certain aspects of this talk. For example, the golf cart (car) as we discuss the challenges of communicating, the various religious symbols on Justin's jacket, the seemingly lost older couple who stroll into the shot, the green wagon with quiet wheels, the landscaper picking up the leaf and tossing it in the trash. As far as I can tell, it really did just happen to work out that way. Oh! There was one small thing I intentionally snuck into the background--let's see if anyone notices it. Note: If memory serves, the person with the bear was selling flowers or something (as it was Valentine's Day) and we had a brief chat about how she might sell more flowers if she walked around with the bear rather than stood next to it. If you look closely, it seems to help get people's attention.

It probably would have been more accurate to say "lose my place"—I'm not sure why I conflate those two words. Targeting "moral epistemology" is but one premise in Boghossian and Lindsay's book 'How to Have Impossible Conversations'—there are several. I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with that book.

Ep 401: Show | Truth Wanted | Jake | Can Street Epistemology Hurt People?

Jake heard that SE is a script to get people to lose faith in their belief or get people to doubt themselves. SE is a modified version of the Socratic method, to examine why someone holds that belief, and has been used for beliefs other than God beliefs.

LIVE Discussion about Street Epistemology with Nathan Ferguson Watch video of talk here: https://youtu.be/OYKC2Xjl1Gw Recorded: 10 August 2020 Uploaded: 23 August 2020 Today I interview Nathan Ferguson, aka AbstractActivistSE. Nathan does very long form SE, with a twist of often not even getting a claim, but instead directly examining their epistemology using a 24 question survey about attitudes about truth. This is the survey that Ben Diesel wrote two or three years ago.
