AI and Pyrrhonism, with Isabela Granic Clerestory (Bryan Kam)

Part 3 in a series of interviews on the book I'm working on, Neither/Nor. In this episode, Isabela Granic and I discuss how AI technologies like ChatGPT relate to living textual traditions. We then move into Socrates vs Zhuangzi, and the Pyrrhonist "middle way" between dogmatism and nihilism.

Topics discussed:


Previous podcast episode: The AI and Dark Forest, with Maggie Appleton
The relationship of textual traditions to their oral traditions and central texts
The Socratic method versus Zhuangzi's "illumination"
Pyrrho of Elis and Sextus Empiricus
Part 2 of this series: A Philosophical Journey, with Isabela Granic
