I read from and comment upon the books ”The Beginning of Infinity” & ”The Fabric of Reality” (both by Deutsch), ”The Science of Can & Can’t” (by Deutsch’s collegue Marletto) and ”Rationality” by Pinker (so far). In addition I make stand alone episodes about topics like resources, environmentalism, economics, science, philosophy, epistemology (especially explanations) and reason broadly.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-05T14:17:01.933436+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992"},"episode":{"title":"Ep 260: I don't believe it!","slug":"ep-260-i-don-t-believe-it","published_at":"2026-04-05T10:56:10+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-260-i-don-t-believe-it","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992","url":"https://brettroberthall.podbean.com/e/ep-260-i-dont-believe-it/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/4dea6m8785m5xgrz/I_don_t_believe_it61vrl.mp3","summary":"Response to a question about my discussion with @drpeterboghossian here: https://youtu.be/72vhtT0pFmA?si=hAx1kPho4DkLkBFN This is yet another way of coming at a critique around the concept of \"belief\" or those who profess to \"believe\" and so on using Deutsch's approach that knowledge is \"information with causal power\". I explore that for around the first 40 mins. If you're in a hurry, skip to the final 15 or 20 minutes where I get to responding to the meat of the matter in the question itself.","meta_description":"Response to a question about my discussion with @drpeterboghossian here: https://youtu.be/72vhtT0pFmA?si=hAx1kPho4DkLkBFN This is yet another way of comin…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3991,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/tokcast-76992/episodes/ep-260-i-don-t-believe-it/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/tokcast-76992/ep-260-i-don-t-believe-it.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
