Edgework Podcast Edgework Podcast

Wherein I describe my origin story, first memories, one of the times I almost died, adolescent mental illness, and so on.

Episode 3, wherein I discuss stuff in the midst of an internet outage.

Show notes:
- Get in touch on Twitter if you feel like it: @EdgeworkPodcast
- I got a new mic. It's okay.
- Tweet me or email me with questions, criticisms, or ideas for guests or topics, or if you know good ways to get guests on the show.
- Epistemology was the field of philosophy that I forgot in the last episode. This deals with question of truth: Is there truth? If there is, can we know it? Etc.
- The others again are ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and logic.
- Some more on Spinoza’s Ethics.
- A bit about pragmatism and thematic elements of scientific and philosophical thought.

Show Notes:

Please excuse the sound quality and that part where I cover the mic for a second at the beginning. I'm new at this. ;)
