Episode notes
Epistemic Humility Weakens Physical Realism
- TK exposes that epistemic humility about being a 'brain in a vat' undermines confidence in physical realism.
- He argues brain-in-a-vat scenarios still count as realism because they posit an external reality even if perception is distorted.
Evolutionary Undercutting Creates Epistemic Symmetry
- TK constructs a syllogism showing evolutionary accounts can explain moral intuitions yet track survival not truth.
- He then forces the symmetry: if evolution undercuts moral knowledge, it equally undercuts cognitive trust, challenging moral anti-realism.
Anti-Realism Can Collapse Into Radical Skepticism
- Under pressure, Destiny/TK concedes that consistent epistemic humility could force rejection of both moral and physical realism.
- The concession shows anti-realism risks collapsing into radical skepticism about all knowledge.
