In this episode, we are joined by Mark Solomon, host of the Being Reasonable podcast. We talk to Mark about “street epistemology”: having conversations with people to find out why they believe what they believe. We learn how Mark gets people to question the foundations of their knowledge, and we discuss how this can challenge deeply held (but untrue) beliefs.
In the bonus section, available exclusively to supporters on Patreon, we ask Mark whether people need strange beliefs to survive the bleakness of reality. We also talk about aliens, tarot cards, and other topics he has explored on his channel.
