On The Perils of Concrete Thinking
In this episode we discuss the concrete thinking used by anti-vaccine activists, and how the damage done might apply to other spheres as well. Since Tom Hinueber is involved, we also discuss free will and choice (particularly in the realms of depression and mental illness), cognitive behavioral therapy and distortions of thinking, common-enemy vs. common-humanity identity politics, what antivaxxers get RIGHT about our healthcare system, the discrete nature of consciousness, how to end suffering, and much more. It's 2019 people, enjoy yourselves!
