I am joined by Dr. Thaddeus Russell to talk about postmodernism. With the popularity of people like Jordan Peterson, who vocally criticize postmodernism, Thaddeus thinks most of the criticism is misplaced.
We also have a great conversation about love, religion, and people's motivation for their actions.

Contrary to what you might have heard, calculus does not solve Zeno's paradoxes. The concepts of "convergence" and "limits" do not explain how infinite series can be completed.
Calculus explains how Achilles gets *arbitrarily close to* the tortoise, but it doesn't explain how he can overtake it.
The resolution to Zeno is simple: space isn't infinitely divisible. There is a base unit.
With discrete space, Zeno's paradoxes pose no logical problems.

This is Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Graham Priest. We talk about the history of logic and the great revisions that took place around the turn of the 20th century.
When logic met math, both disciplines changed, for better or worse.

For years, I've been making anti-Platonist arguments. Now, I think I was wrong. The universe seems to be composed of both concrete and abstract stuff.

Great show this week covering the social justice warrior phenomenon - the origins, causes, and damage that could be created if these people gain political power. We also talk about the liberalisation of New Zealand during the 80's, "trickle-down ideologies", and the impact of relativism in higher ed.
My guest is Dr. Jamie Whyte, who has a background in philosophy, studied at Cambridge, and saw first-hand the popularity of irrationalism within the academic system.

A couple of months ago, my friend Isaac Morehouse asked me to talk about the philosophy of mathematics and why I consider it so important.
Appeals to mathematics are everywhere, from COVID lockdowns to NFL play calling, and if our concepts about math are flawed, we make the world a significantly worse place.
