Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.
My guest this week is Anthony Magnabosco, co-founder of Street Epistemology International. Street Epistemology is an approach to difficult dialogue aimed at helping individuals better understand why they believe what they believe. Anthony and co recently released a website called Navigating Beliefs, an easy way to learn how to do Street Epistemology. We discuss the evidence for the effectiveness of Street Epistemology, ongoing research on its effects, and concerns with the approach.

My guest this week is Joseph Blankholm, a religious studies scholar and associate professor at UC Santa Barbara. We discuss his recent book The Secular Paradox, where he unpacks several internal conflicts facing secular community organizers. We get into the nature of religion, the secular mindset, and how movement secularism might be able to grow past this seeming paradox.

My guest this week is Danny Fortuna, a Warhammer 40k lore master and founder of the Facebook group Warhammer Heresyposting. Danny founded the group as a space for anti-woke 40k fans after he was banned from several other groups over debates around female space marines and other identity politics issues. We discuss whether 40k is satire, whether female space marines are compatible with 40k lore, whether the lore should change if they're not, and the argument around "go woke, go broke". Enjoy!

My returning guest is M.R.X Dentith, a philosophy professor at BNUZH’s Center for international philosophy, with a focus on conspiracy theories, secrecy, and fake news. They’re also cohost of the podcaster’s guide to the conspiracy and recently published a spicy article called “I know it when I see it”- Motivating examples in the social psychology of conspiracy theory theory. They frequently provide nuanced criticism of the research on these issues in ways I find very compelling, so I’m excited to have them back.
