ILN EP 164: Twin Earth I Learned Nothing
-
- Philosophy
Pat was feeling unique so Ben blasts his precious little perspective right out of the water by introducing him to the Twin Earth thought experiment. In one fell swoop, Ben destroys Pat's commitment to semantic internalism thanks to Hilary Putnam and his view that "meaning just ain't in the head." If you know anything about philosophy of language, you'll recognize this thought experiment for the earth shattering mental exercise that it is. If you know nothing about philosophy of language, F**K YOU! Check out our Patreon for bonus episodes: patreon.com/ILearnedNothing
