Midnight Mind Benders: Famous Paradoxes and Thought Experiments

from Midnight Facts for Insomniacs · host Shane Rogers

This week, plunge with Shane and Duncan into the most maddening mental puzzles ever devised, from ancient identity crises and time travel nightmares to philosophical traps that refuse to be solved. If you replace every part of a ship, is it still technically the same boat? Should you always switch doors and trust the guy in the blazer with the game show smile, or trust your own instincts? And what happens when a donkey can’t make up its damn mind? Welcome to a crash course in logic traps, ethical nightmares, and timeless brain knots. BYO aspirin. ~ Become an Insomniac!
