In this episode, I speak with Anthony Magnabosco a founder and the current Executive Director of the nonprofit Street Epistemology International, an educational organization that is committed to addressing dysfunction in public and private discourse by encouraging rationality through civil conversation. Anthony has been involved with Street Epistemology since 2013, and has given dozens of talks and workshops at conferences and events domestically and internationally. Many of his conversations have been uploaded to YouTube and demonstrate how Street Epistemology can be applied to a variety of claims including ones that are spiritual, political, or societal.
That’s a big part of it, but instead of attacking someones beliefs which usually triggers the backfire effect and puts someone in defense mode, instead you question someones reasons behind their belief and ask questions that make them explain why they believe and could someone use that same reasoning to come to a completely different belief. I highly recommend checking out street epistemology on YouTube.
I’m familiar with Magnabosco and AMFCA. I was putting my tongue in my cheek.
How was anyone supposed to get that?
I was imagining a lot of people would already know, and the rest would read the article? That’s on me, my bad.
Is this tongue in cheek too and really just a dig at me, or do you actually realize that there was no way to tell?
