We all like to think of ourselves as discerning people. But research shows that many of our firmly-held beliefs are in fact false. It's not enough to simply decry others' beliefs as nonsense, we must be just as sceptical about our own. Join renowned philosopher Massimo Pigliucci to explore how to truly live the life of a sceptic.

that's thought-provoking, professor. thanks.
Wait, I watched for 15 minutes now I have to continue on a different website? Might as well make it an ad.
I'm not convinced... 😉
Speaking as a Boltzmann Brain. I am not convinced by this approach.
He dismisses the part of metaphysics that did not become part of science to easily. Furthermore, ethics does not have a monopoly on what constitutes the practicalities of a philosophy of life. Knowledge of psychology, for example, gives useful information on how to live a good life, amongst many other things. Why should the fact that there are more women in the field constitute an improvement? The only improvement that matters is people coming up with good ideas, not the fact that the source of these ideas is more diverse.

Not a single word on India Philosophy (Darshan) or mention of any Indian philosophy, whose influence can be seen clearly on most of the mentioned philosophers. You should do your research on this. And about that Homeopathy remark...being just sugar in water, Prof. I suggest you should do your study on this. It is highly recognised and accepted in medicine. Don't be sceptical about everything.
Please tell me what hospitals accept homeopathy so I never go there.
Yes you should be skeptic about everything.

Or you can just do me
From espousing open mindedness to moments later mocking metaphysics that oppose his view lol.
2:46 Porque muchas ideas son ignorantes o estúpido. Buenas ideas tienen buena evidencia.
Ask an expert with an expensive degree and you will be enlightened.
then what you exist for?
Enthusing scepticism/irony.... 👏👏👏
deny anything new and you are skeptic. Nothing else needed. You are welcome.
Yes, thank you very much, I needed a stupid comment and now I have it.
