As they say in New Jersey: Fo'Gettier 'bout it! Or something like. This week we're talking about Gettier Problems which are specific examples in epistemology (which Dan mispronounces) in which our definition of knowledge doesn't hold up. So we gotta get a new one! If that doesn't make sense, listen to the episode and learn something. Also, Connor and Dan swap snow stories and talk about terrible canned cocktails. If you like the show, tell your friends!

#125 - The Sublime

What is that feeling when you're confronted with something so awesome, so immeasurably huge and intimidating that you have to listen to "Santeria" on repeat? That's the Sublime. And that's what we're talking about on today's ep. It's a concept in aesthetic philosophy and it's a bit difficult to describe, but you know when you see it. Other topics discussed include VR Everest, the amount of space in Michigan, and the amount of space in space! Enjoy!
