edit edit sourceWhat has four thumbs and can effortlessly glide from the a priori to the a posteriori in a single episode? These guys. In the first segment we tackle a brand new paper called "Being Exalted: an A Priori Argument for the Trinity." That's right, the Holy Trinity arrived at through reason alone. Then in the main segment we talk about Richard Feynman's classic 1974 Caltech commencement address "Cargo Cult Science." Does Feynman's metaphor suggest that whole paradigms might be systematically misguided? Or is he just admonishing social scientists to maintain their integrity and use more rigorous methods? As you might imagine, a fight almost breaks out in this one. Moore, H. J. (2025). Being Exalted: An A Priori Argument for the Trinity. Sophia, 1-23.
