About this listen

In this episode, I will be introducing the topic of scepticism- what it is, the differences between local and global scepticism, Descartes' three waves of doubt, Hilary Putnam's version of the brain-in-a-vat sceptical problem, and a whole bundle of examples from the media, with a focus on the truman show and a horror platformer video game rendition of Alice in Wonderland.

Credit: At the very end of this episode I use audio from the following youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBO5aO6iJlk&t=1120s .

This podcast is non-monetized so I make no financial benefit from the use of this snippet but felt it responsible to point out that this audio does not belong to me and is the property of American McGee, thus if there is any issue with my use of the audio I am happy to rectify the episode and reupload as necessary. I use the audio in the same way that the YouTuber MNHStudios - to highlight the wonderful voice acting of Roger Jackson as the cheshire cat. Also, to emphasise a point about the importance of scepticism.
