Reason and evidence have been under attack. The academy and our social discourses have devolved into movements that value personal conviction and disregard evidence as irrelevant.
The host, a clinical and forensic psychologist as well as psychoanalyst, makes a compelling case as to how the technological shifts have amplified this problem. He then walks the listener through a basic philosophy introduction, and finally describes ideal methods of public discourse.
