The Renegade Report - Philosophically Speaking

--:--
This week's guest is author and lover of wisdom, aka Philosopher, Jason Werbeloff. There’s a focus on ways to construct good arguments, the importance of defining terms, and arriving at conclusions based on truthful premises. Jason explains the content of his PhD thesis which deconstructs ideas around the existence of groups within society. Roman and Jonathan explore the concepts of straw manning, steel manning, circular arguments and rational thinking. There’s fascinating discussion around everything from ‘institutionalised racism’ to ethics and even colonising the Universe by purposefully destroying the Earth.
