Dissecting the GOLDILOCKS Theory of the Universe | Hn 80

Adam and Tyrone dive deep into metaphysics using a classic children's story as a springboard. Come get philosophical and have some fun! 00:00 — Intro. Tyrone introduces the episode with a pun and an Olivia Newton-John classic. 00:46 — Tyrone introduces the article this episode is based on (linked below): "Goldilocks is a criminal, and there are no dials". Bizarrely, this leads to a discussion of the Goldilocks Principle, cosmological constants, and even the "multiverse". 05:57 — Tyrone gives his own annoying example of some sloppy thinking. 08:35 — Adam and Tyrone dive into the metaphysical (and psychological and religious) implications of this line of thinking. 13:35 — Adam takes a shot at the concept of "infinity". 17:12 — Tyrone takes a shot at some of the popular "intelligent design" arguments. Adam tries to give this "devil" its due. 22:52 — Tyrone brings up Ayn Rand, just for fun. 26:39 — Adam tries to grapple with the inadequacy of our own language to adequately describe the universe we live in. 29:34 — Outro. Justice for the bears!
