In this episode, we take a look at problem solving and why it might not be as great as it sounds. We start with some linguistics and then head over to Socrates and Francis Bacon, two of the pioneers of problem solving techniques. Finally, we take a look at some interesting counterpoints from Isaiah Berlin and look to the real world to reveal why problem solving is just glorified pattern matching that might dig us deeper into our own oblivion. Thanks for Messing with the Madness!
