... okok it's out NOW don't be mad I got self-conscious it's not so bad listening to yourself talk for 30 mins straight once or twice but come round 20 you start asking yourself questions like 'do I sound too happy?'

EPISODE 20: Descartes' response to the problem of scepticism + his external world arguments, out this friday! โ๐
currently recording the final two eps of epistemology, scripting a bonus episode for those left wanting by the course's sceptical solutions, and prepping an important special intro to social epistemology for an assessment that will be released after grading! - hot BIV summer is here, stay tuned โ
planning on potentially releasing a silly little filler episode tomorrow for fun if I have time as I'll be able to put more time into the main series after this week - it's an 'I have identified 25 descartes coded songs I have to share with you guys and justify' kind of silly little filler episode
*well the tidbit of the branch I've studied, which is still three hours of lectures and six papers- but if I can do the cosmological argument in 25 minutes you'd better believe I can do this in 30.
a creative summative I have at the moment fits in perfectly with a bonus ep I had in mind so if all goes well I'll release an extended version as an episode and break down a whole branch* of epistemology not covered in the pod's main series in 30 mins or less

*I mean hey you probably knew it anyway but I mean this subjectively- if your house was on fire you justifiably wouldn't be that bothered about whether you know for sure it exists or not ๐
**in this context. sending someone you just met into a skeptical crisis for no reason would not be a win.
first poll vote for the latest episode is already in and either they already had the best* take or I succeeded in sending someone into a skeptical crisis, either way a win for me**

Episode 19 out this Friday โ๐ so many examples of sceptical scenarios. so. many.
logic is literally magic:
-you have a cool rune language (โฅโโxโy(x=y) etc.)
-and spells in Latin:
modus ponens!
Ex contradictione quodlibet!
-and ancient scriptures which almost everyone has forgotten (Principia Mathematica).
as an empiricist I am clearly not doing a good job at converting people to team 'boo descartes' but I have to give respect where it's due for the first response to last episode's poll being a commitment to rationalism in the face of its critics!
