Clerestory (Bryan Kam)

AI and Pyrrhonism, with Isabela Granic

Listen Later

Part 3 in a series of interviews on the book I'm working on, Neither/Nor. In this episode, Isabela Granic and I discuss how AI technologies like ChatGPT relate to living textual traditions. We then move into Socrates vs Zhuangzi, and the Pyrrhonist "middle way" between dogmatism and nihilism.

Topics discussed:

  • Previous podcast episode: The AI and Dark Forest, with Maggie Appleton
  • The relationship of textual traditions to their oral traditions and central texts
  • The Socratic method versus Zhuangzi's "illumination"
  • Pyrrho of Elis and Sextus Empiricus
  • Part 2 of this series: A Philosophical Journey, with Isabela Granic
