EA Forum Podcast (Curated & popular)“My top 10 picks from 200 episodes of the 80k podcast” by JWS 🔸 Intro I think the 80,000 Hours Podcast is a great show. Despite the world of podcasts overflowing with content to choose from, it's reliably been a high-quality production that's been a regular part of my listening habits ever since I discovered it. It was also probably one of the first routes I become more aware of the EA community, which I suspect I might not be alone by.[1] So, as the podcast numbers ticked up, the vague idea to write up a post shouting out some of my favourite episodes took root. I didn't get far...2024-09-1713 min

Hi-Phi Nation PlusThe Man of Many Worlds IIIIn 1968, David Lewis decides that one truth can unify every theory he's had about the nature of the universe. It is that every possible world is equally real. He devises a distinctive way of arguing for the view, leading to a method of doing philosophy that is as influential as anything Lewis advances. Meanwhile, a soon-to-be colleague and rival, Saul Kripke, reads Lewis' paper and fires off eight objections. On the other side of the world, an entire continent becomes enamored with the life and works of David Kellogg Lewis, an admiration that survives to this day. Guest voices...2021-10-3044 min

Religious Epistemology, Contextualism, and Pragmatic EncroachmentDeliberation welcomes predictionAlan Hájek (Australian National University) gives a talk for the New Insights seminar series on 21st May 2015. Abstract: A number of prominent authors—Levi, Spohn, Gilboa, Seidenfeld, and Price among them—hold that rational agents cannot assign subjective probabilities to their options while deliberating about which one they will choose.

The stakes are high. The thesis is not true—or so I maintain. After some scene-setting, I will precisify and rebut several...2015-07-241h 37
