Episode description

Pat was feeling confident in what he thinks he knows so Ben dashes that assumption by introducing Pat to the table-flipping thought experiments known as Gettier Problems. The infamous Gettier Problems were contrived by the notorious sad boi of modern analytical philosophy, Edmund Gettier. Gettier debuted his shitty though experiments in a 3-page paper he only submitted to avoid being fired. Little did he know that these three pages COMPLETELY UPENDED our understanding of knowledge and has tormented epistemologists ever since. Also, he's from Baltimore, which Pat LOVES.
