    Steve Patterson Philosophizes About The Nature Of The Universe | Hn 279

    Adam sits down with Steve Patterson of the podcast Patterson In Pursuit for a wid- ranging, very deep, ultra-nerdy conversation about the nature of reality and our ability to perceive and understand it. Steve has some heretical ideas about math and science and believes there are some serious errors "we" have made in these areas that have been holding us back. Enjoy!00:00 — Intro. Welcoming Steve Patterson! What the heck is Steve pursuing?02:39 — What is the relationship between logic and reality and how can we know things?09:46 — What is Zeno's paradox and how does it illuminate logical confusions? When do useful mental frameworks breakdown? Also, is reality discretized or smooth?17:17 — Is calculus useful? What is it? What is "the high math" as opposed to "the low math"? Are Steve and I heretics? Is Terence Tao one?23:56 — An examination of epistemology and logic and how it relates to reality. Was Descartes doing something useful with "I think, therefore I am?" Are there foundational truth claims?43:57 — Where have our logical/mathematical errors screwed up our understanding of physics, economics, and many other fields? 1:01:15 — Adam lays his crazy epistemology on Steve to see what he thinks. Can the two conceptions be united?1:18:49 — Steve's great project: The Natural Philosophy Institute. Also, are we in a 100+ year long intellectual dark age?1:45:40 — Adam admits his own faith-based belief: Life defeats entropy.1:51:27 — Outro.

    Dave Smith VS Alan Dershowitz Debate Breakdown | Hn 273

    On this crossover episode with the great Bob Murphy (of the great Bob Murphy Show!), Adam and Bob break down a truly amazing debate between Dave Smith and Alan Dershowitz. The subject of the debate was the merits (or not) of the war in Iran after the first six months, but the conversation very quickly went off the rails and into clown world -- but in the most fascinating ways! You don't want to miss this one, I promise!00:00 — Intro. A tale of YouTube mis-clicks. When is a debate not a debate? Adam and Bob give their initial impressions.03:11 — Clip 1: Alan's argument for regime change in Iran. It's always 1935.18:31 — Clip 2: Is there "too much" influence on US foreign policy from Zionists?25:03 — Clip 3: 2026 in the US is as dangerous to Jews as Germany was in 1932?34:55 — Clip 4: What costs are "too high" for the US to pay to enact Iranian regime change? 40:41 — Clip 5: Wanna hear the most childish argument in favor of this war get blown apart by a brilliant debater? Enjoy.44:52 — Clips 6 and 7: Does Alan have "disproportion loyalty" to Israel? Fair criticism or not?55:21 — Is it antisemitic to point out that "Jewish money" caused Thomas Massie to lose his seat in congress? Does it matter WHO says it?1:12:25 — Adam points out some lawyerly debating tricks Alan employed in the debate.1:20:26 — Outro and final thoughts.
