Steven believes everyone is living in a shared dream in which death means we just wake up into a new life; he also believes this justifies that we're all gods. We explore the belief and come to the conclusion that there's no significant way for him to know that he's wrong, so he should reconsider his high level of confidence that he's right.

Ep 337: Dialogue | Anthony Magnabosco | Jacob | Evolution v/s Design (Christian Apologetics Student)
Location: San Antonio, Texas
Recorded: 10 April 2019
Released: 16 May 2019
Summary: Jacob is a college student and member of Ratio Christi, an on-campus Christian apologetics group that works hard to find ways to defend the faith. After attending part of my talk on Street Epistemology to the Secular Student Alliance (SSA)(where roughly 1/3 of the attendees were Christians), Jacob stopped and asked me to interrogate his claim that Jesus is historically real and is his Lord and Savior. We spent most of our time figuring out how much of an impact the truth of evolution (if it could be explained and demonstrated to his satisfaction) would have on his high degree of confidence and exploring whether or not he is using a consistent standard for accepting intelligent design and dismissing evolution.

Ep 336: Dialogue | Street Knowledge | Victor | Belief in a Higher Power
Recorded: 22 July 2018
Published: 22 July 2018
Released: 29 November 2018
Watch video of talk here: https://youtu.be/IDlKTuiPCC4
One of the things I love about Street Epistemology is that questions are asked with the goal of getting people to self-reflect. It is not about proving that they’re wrong. It is about planting the seed of self-reflection. And a certain openness on the part of the person you’re speaking with is required for that. This can be hard to come by when dealing with deeply held beliefs. But in this interview I chat with Victor, who I think displays incredible openness. The journey toward truth is not always comfortable. Perceived boogeymen lie behind every corner. Confronting those fears, even just acknowledging them, takes a bit of courage. Watch this video, as Victor confronts some of those fears when it comes to his belief in a Higher Power.
A lot of the instructional material in this interview on how to conduct Street Epistemology came from The Complete Street Epistemology Guide, which you can find at the Street Epistemology website:
