About this listen

This episode explores the philosophy of radical doubt — the unsettling question of whether all human beliefs could be wrong. From ancient skepticism to thinkers like René Descartes and David Hume, we examine how logic, sensory limits, and shifting scientific paradigms challenge certainty.

Through concepts such as the problem of the criterion and the “brain in a vat” thought experiment, we confront the possibility that objective proof of reality may be unreachable. Yet instead of collapsing into total skepticism, the discussion argues for a pragmatic stance grounded in intellectual humility and the acceptance of epistemic limits.
