Carly met your "Namenszwilling" which translates to "name twin" and conveys the idea of sharing a name without implying any physical resemblance. 😬👍

Great interview, honest and open responses, all around very interesting. I was raised LDS and was a missionary in the Caribbean. I saw a lot of people claim that they had spiritual experiences, and came to different conclusions than I did. I believed they had partial truth, but not the whole truth. That was enough for me to keep believing for a while. But I had to face that they believed I had partial truth, not the whole truth. Using the same method. So how reliable could that method be?

12:20 is she creating her own outsider test? 😅

Nice chat.

In her words I could almost hear Mark from Being Reasonable at one point :D Too bad it didn't go much into epistemology, but she's easily distracted, it's not an easy task.

Carly is amazing! I think I need to interview more children! That was awesome! I love how you carefully wrote down that she is in the fourth grade. 😬👍🏆💯♥️

Fun interview! Hearing about doppelganger makes me think about the movie The Double Life of Veronique. I was going through Krzysztof Kieślowski films years ago and I remember that one was about having a double but the plot didn't stick in my mind as much as the Three Color Trilogy. There is a fourth grader I get my weather reports from on TH-cam everyday. He makes a fairly mundane topic like weather much more interesting! Haha!

I've done SE with my daughter before and put it in an SE group, and it went really well. We tend to just focus on adults but I believe SE can be a huge tool for helping children and it usually does not take much time at all.

Obviously

this is fun! P.S. My opinion is that the only way aliens are "here" it's if they know how to conceal themselves. eg. there are computers the size of particles in the upper atmosphere that got here millions of years ago, perhaps just to observe us. Other than that it's just hoaxes XD

Asking the IL to come up with the questions ? Are you getting lazy, David 😛?

Thank you for sharing this interview, very interesting! Note: Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Delightful conversation! On a technical side, I would love if you could pan both of your voices towards the center instead of one of you being full left and one of you being full right. Especially since they are opposite of how the viewer sees them on screen.

"Fiction is the lie that tells the greater truth." 51:00

Is he making a Hasty Generalization fallacy by using his two friends as the example? Just because one person who is an atheist is pessimistic doesn't mean that most atheists are pessimistic.

I'm an Atheist, but I still engage with imagination through writing fiction. No need to actually believe in fictional characters.

It makes me so happy to believe that, this atomic bomb detonator I have in my hand, is actually a magic device that will solve child hunger, I've always wanted to help children. Which is why I have a big smile as I'm pressing it.

“It makes sense” therefore it’s the best explanation. I know it seems like an odd question, but I would like to ask “why does something making sense, therefore make it true?” Or “is it possible for things to not make sense, and yet be true?” Christians often say that it makes sense, until you point out logical inconsistencies with their god, and they claim it doesn’t have to make sense to be true. (E.g. gods ways are not our ways)

God either creates or allows killer tornadoes and child cancer. How is that loving?

This is the best SE video I've ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing these, and please keep them coming! 🙏

58:20 special circumstances = special pleading

5:00 A little confused to what he means about the spreading of religions equally. Especially in an area that is so dominated by one religion? 58:00 It seems to strange to me to to hear someone say that a God showing better evidence for something is “humoring them” as if that in any way is trivial and not about critical decisions in your life. It is rarely true belief until you have some way of testing it. Otherwise saying that you know something means very little. 1:24:00 That was interesting the part about “surely there are things that can’t be tested and you still believe” and showing how that ties to the level of confidence. Also I liked that he said “that’s fair" when you showed it shouldn't get you up to a 99% confidence.

Naturalism is neither optimistic nor pessimistic, but rather realistic. 🤔

To the young gentleman. You can ask any biblical scholar and it is generally agreed upon that we actually do not know who wrote the Epistles.

Definitely one of the best and honest conversations yet in recent times. The young man was familiar with formal philosophical terms as well which is impressive.

I'm not sure why you focus multiple times on "does the author say they've witnessed it personnally". Chad didn't mention it, and I can't possibly believe you yourself would find that convincing. If it's just a story made up by people, they can just as easily pretend they witnessed it personnally and write down those few words. Why does it matter ?

Excellent questions and tone by Brian.

It's like she didn't hear anything she was saying.

Interesting to hear the thoughts of Amanda Abbington

"We have ways of making you talk..." ... "The few times this line is used in Hogan's Heroes, Hogan immediately lampshades it by saying somebody's been watching too much American movies." This is from from the tvtropes website, but apparently I can't post links to youtube anymore because spammers have ruined the internet for the rest of us. Google the quote with the word "trope" and it will pop right up, though... Same for "lampshade hanging trope" which is one of my personal favorites! Be careful, though... If you've never been on this site, it is like Wikipedia so you may fall into the equivalent of a wiki hole! You have been warned! ;-)

She said they might be a psychopath, but over time it becomes harder for them to hide their true colors. That might be true for normal people, but it is definitely not true for psychopaths. Too many people have been neighbors with and even married to serial killers and been completely unaware. 🤔 Also, the can of words worked really well here for them to be able to find something that they disagreed on! 😬👍

Feelings are reliable, they say... I've said something about this before, about how the public sees scientists changing their minds all the time because they have to redraw the map of our common reality when new evidence comes in... And so because their feelings are always consistently pointing in the same direction, they are viewed as more reliable... It makes a lot of sense when you think about it that way, but it's just because they don't understand that what scientists find aren't facts, but rather a better way to redraw the map of our common reality that is more consistent with the information that we now have available. It might change again because what they found wasn't actually a fact as in a truth with a capital "T", but instead it's simply the direction that the evidence that we currently have is pointing. That direction will change if new evidence comes in to warrant such a direction change. What a great talk! Keep them coming! 😬👍♥️🏆💯

For anyone in Provo, or nearby, Paul's flag raising ceremony will be held at 1pm, across the street (to the West) from the hospital.

Emotion is not a good way to know if something is true or not. One can believe absurdities via emotion while evidence does not allow that.

Everyone should see this, to understand how beautiful, respectful, and most importantly FOCUSED ON EPISTEMOLOGY Spectrum SE can be if you truly care about reflexion and remove your bias out of the claim. I hope you'll make more and never fall to the dark side. Note I can truly enjoy this video and write this comment even before I know what the topic is. Proof I'm not biased by the topic. I can still see risks that wouldn't exist in regular SE (such as, you take the risk they start arguing between themselves, ignoring you), but overall I think you did a great job.

The Outsider Test is great for gaining perspective.

Nice guy.

For a richer experience, using the closed captioning feature is recommended.

I appreciate that you could have and upload that conversation without forcing the SE aspect nor labelling it as such
