Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with Harper’s Magazine Editor Christopher Beha to explore why neither scientific materialism nor romantic idealism fully satisfies — and what a third path might look like. We ask questions like:
-
Does materialism account for consciousness?
-
Is hard determinism therapeutically dangerous?
-
Can we rationally care about others?
-
What breaks down in "radical authenticity"?
In the Patron-only second half, we land on skeptical belief itself — and why love might be the best epistemology we have.
