Paradigm shifts, unpacking, and flavours
22 perc 2. évad 5. rész Paras Nainani

This week, you have the privilege of meeting Mr. Shift -- Mr. Paradigm Shift, that is -- as Paras and Nina discuss paradigm shifts. Then, Paras and Nina unpack IA prompts. Enjoy!

Note: In the interests of being more celebratory of neurodivergence,  we've started publishing auto-generated transcripts of our podcast episodes! Here is today's.

Critical thinking, science, and genetic determination
19 perc 2. évad 4. rész Paras Nainani

This week, we think critically about vaccines, the difference between the Human and Natural Sciences and... identical twins?

Objects, RWCs, and analysis
26 perc 2. évad 3. rész Paras Nainani
In this episode, we are grateful to have HOD Anna Hammonds on the show with us to give us some tips and tricks for the IA!
Religion, natural sciences, and evidence (feat. Andrew Baker)
35 perc 2. évad 2. rész Paras Nainani
This week we call upon expert theologian (and all-round awesome guy) Andrew Baker to help us understand how religion and natural sciences can intersect and potentially work in harmony. NB: this is our second special so it's a whopping 35 minutes long!
Religion, natural sciences, and certainty
18 perc 2. évad 1. rész Paras Nainani
Welcome back, listeners! This week we're asking whether we can really, truly *know* anything.
Ruth, Enos, and the indigenous perspective
48 perc 1. évad 6. rész Paras Nainani
In our first ever special feature, we speak to two brilliant scholars who were kind enough to enlighten us with wisdom (both personal and shared!) that helps us understand the indigenous perspective in a way that books never could. Warning: this episode is nearly an hour long!
Appropriation, indigenous cultures, and...Frozen 2?
19 perc 1. évad 5. rész Paras Nainani
In this episode, we explore different definitions of "indigenous", and the perspectives and ethics around the "protection" of indigenous peoples
Technology, documentaries, and cognition
12 perc 1. évad 4. rész Paras Nainani
This week we introduce a new segment to the podcast before we dive into the world of social media to try to get to the bottom of just how bad it really is.
Rightness, truth, and laws (ft. Vivi)
23 perc 1. évad 3. rész Paras Nainani

This week we're joined by a special guest who blew us away with an email filled with some very pertinent questions! Shout out to Vivi for making the time to nerd out with us. Our sincere apologies for getting this episode up so late - we were having some technical difficulties! Finally, we're beginning to toy with the idea of TOK Talking in Twenty as opposed to Ten, so please excuse the second lengthy episode in a row.
