S02E08 Meet Skeptic Philosophy

Send us Fan MailThis week on Saturdays with Philbert, I’m sitting down with the host of Skeptic Philosophy, a channel dedicated to one uncomfortable but necessary question:How do we actually know what we think we know?In an online world driven by algorithms, outrage, memes, and bite-sized certainty, bad information doesn’t just spread—it wins. Studies show false claims travel faster and farther than accurate ones, and that trend is quietly reshaping how people reason, argue, and even form beliefs.That’s where Skeptic Philosophy pushes back.In this conversation, we dig into:Why unfalsifiable claims are so appealing—and so dangerousHow logical fallacies sneak into religious and pseudoscientific argumentsThe difference between feeling right and reasoning correctlyWhy epistemology matters far beyond philosophy classroomsAnd how sensationalism is eroding our shared understanding of realityThis isn’t about “winning debates” or dunking on believers—it’s about protecting the process of arriving at sound conclusions in a culture increasingly allergic to nuance.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by confident nonsense, frustrated by bad arguments that go viral, or just want better tools for thinking clearly in chaotic times, this conversation is for you.Because resisting misinformation doesn’t start with better soundbites—it starts with better thinking.Check out Skeptic Philosophy's channel here:https://www.youtube.com/@SkepticPhilosophyDon't forget to like and subscribe!
