Street Epistemology principles underscore the conversation as an antidote to hindering discourse. Other topics in this discussion include problem-solving, philosophy, the Fermi Paradox, cosmic exploration, and more! David Deutsch was born in Haifa, Israel, and pursued his physics studies at Cambridge and Oxford Universities.
