Occam's Razor

from A Cup of Tea · host Jared

Finding the truth in a sea of uncertainty is not a simple task. However, there is a philosophical tool trusted by many (including scientists) which can help guide your thinking—Occam's Razor. What is it about this concept that makes it so appealing to truth seekers? Jared uncovers the value of this abstract razor by applying some research and thought experiments on the topic.
