Christofer and physicist Sam Kuypers speak about the importance of understanding the problem situation when explaining any knowledge creating system in this episode of Do Explain. They discuss determinism and evolution, reductionism, eastern philosophy and enlightenment, phenomenological self-representation, if dinosaurs were people, Pickle Rick, knowledge in the multiverse, Thomas Szasz and mental illness, the paradox of discussion, and other related topics.
