  • Could A Machine Think?

    Could A Machine Think?
    Aug 12 2023

    Welcome to the fourth episode of Fickle Philosophies! Today we’re looking at a dilemma that's coming more-and-more to the forefront of discussions around technology: will the machines we make one day be able to think?

    In today’s episode, we’ll be looking at simulations of understanding, John Searle's Chinese-Room Thought-Experiment, and awareness of an internal self.


    This season, I’m going to be relying heavily on Stephen Law’s The Philosophy Gym for great, easy-to-digest examples and arguments--I strongly recommend you check out his book for more information and philosophical viewpoints

    Are We In A Simulation?
    Jul 15 2023

    Welcome to the second episode of Fickle Philosophies! Today we’re looking at perhaps our first (of many!) existential question--how can we be sure we "exist"?

    In today’s episode, we’ll be looking at justification as a basis for beliefs, the Ordinary-Language Response, the "Invisible Pebble" Response, and Skepticism.
