Episode Blurb

Back with part two of our reaction to What's the most rational way to know?, a discussion between Brett Hall and Peter Boghossian on the relationship between confidence and evidence. Listen to part 1 first, availble here: https://www.incrementspodcast.com/85

It seems weird to try to be funny in this blurb, given the introduction, so going to keep the description lean. Back with our usual lighthearted nonsense next episode!

Check out more from Brett Hall here and Peter Boghossian here.

We discuss

• A falliblist's view of confidence


• Confidence as a form of implicit knowledge


• Problems with attempting to define "knowledge"


• Can we "derive" moral facts?


• Being triggered by the word 'derive'

References

• Paper discussing how it took the wider scientific community over 40 years (after Eddington's experiment!) to become convinced in the truth of general relativity: The 1919 measurement of the deflection of light


• Eddington's original paper:


• Vaden and Brett's blog exchange
