202: Bad Philosophy and the Problem of Evil
Listen now
Description
What makes someone a pseudo-intellectual? If we treat philosophy like a trade, what does it look like when done poorly? In this episode, we review two arguments by public intellectuals who present two different arguments regarding God. Žižek compares God to a video game developer, and Neil deGrasse Tyson brings up the Problem of Evil. Some arguments are useful for identifying pseudo-intellectuals.  The problem of evil is one of these arguments that, besides the argument itself, is useful for determining the intellectual integrity and capability of the interlocutor.
