Charlie Jungheim (aka Hermes of Reason) makes really cool videos about Critical Rationalism following the works of Karl Popper and David Deutsch. He’s a musician and comedian.
In a fun and wide-ranging conversation, we talk about mixing comedy with intellectual stuff, our lives being transformed by the works of David Deutsch, how meditation links to epistemology, then Mars and more!
