61: Science, Evolution, and Circular Reasoning - a podcast by Eric Roark

On this episode of the egg timer the topic is the bootstrapping problem within the empirical sciences.  In particular, the question of what reasons do we have to think that vision is a reliable and true representation of reality will be discussed.  Often answers to this question double down on using vision as an answer to this question, but as we'll discover that answer just gets caught in the wheels of circular reasoning.
