"Data Fascism, Plato, and Me!" with Dr. Nathan Eric Dickman
In this episode, Dr. Dickman and I tackle the complex and increasingly relevant territory of "data fascism," exploring the dominating role of data in our lives and the significant risks it poses to our conceptualization of legitimacy and truth. We
talk about what constitutes valid evidence, what we consider empirical, and whether we've all been misunderstanding Plato's allegory of the cave this whole time!
This episode is an invitation for listeners to reflect on the dominance of data-driven perspectives in our society, examine how they legitimate sources of knowledge, and to recognize the value of exploring perspectives that extend beyond the empirical.
Dr. Dickman is a philosopher, religious studies scholar, and professor at an Associate Professor of Philosophy at University of the Ozarks.
