  • Episode 005 / P.R.O.P. Up Your Argument

    Most of what we know (or think we know) comes to us from others: friends, family, coworkers, news media, and dozens of other authority figures. In this day and age of mass media and competing narratives, it can feel like an impossible task to know what is real and what we should trust.

    So without further ado … Gimme a P, gimme an R, gimme an O, gimme (another) P! Remember this cheer, and you’ll be well equipped to sift through what’s likely fact - and what’s likely crap.

  • Episode 004 / The Cow In The Field

    A cow, a farmer, and a milkman all walk onto a field. Sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it’s actually the setting for a short story that pokes at one of philosophy’s greatest puzzles: How do we know what we know, and can we ever be certain we know anything?

  • Episode 003 / The Ship of Theseus

    What can a fictional story about a mythical king and a wooden ship teach us about who we are and our ever-changing nature? In this episode, we set sail on the Ship of Theseus and explore one of philosophy’s central questions: What makes us, us?

  • Episode 002 / Naive Realism

    In this episode, we discuss what is perhaps the most common bias all people carry within themselves, but very few know they do. Shining a light on this tendency will make us more critical thinkers, stronger conversationalists, and more empathetic friends, coworkers and family members. Let’s explore the world of Naive Realism!


    Naive Realism definition paraphrased from:

    “Naive Realism.” The Decision Lab, thedecisionlab.com/biases/naive-realism
