176 - The Border Wants the Country

On this episode, we begin with a bullet-pointed takedown of Neil Degrasse Tyson. Then we talk scientism as an unstable foundation to build knowledge. Philosophy of science. All sciences are not created equal. The price tag of academic credentials.

Bergson’s Principle of Proving a Negative. Shutting down interesting ideas. Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. The God of Evidence.

A band made of biofeedback. Human beings as stewards of reality. The miniaturization of knowledge. Hologram vs. jpeg. The bombardment of facts from a complete idiot. Science that isn’t about proving anything.

Religion as the outsourcing of validation. Kris invents a completely knew paradigm of education. This might be one of his best ideas of all time. The education of the hands. Realistic responses to AI.

South Korea, El Paso, and Taos. Borders always exist, a quantum state that wants the friction of two countries. Constructing sentences out of emojis. Our dependency on language.

It's impossible to run over a pigeon. Becoming monster hunters of dream.
