Brett Hall offers a compelling exploration of knowledge, progress, and human potential through the lens of David Deutsch and Karl Popper's philosophy. He articulates how the tradition of criticism—the willingness to question everything—propelled the Enlightenment and remains essential for human advancement. Hall presents a refreshingly optimistic worldview where progress comes through solving problems, knowledge is infinite, and humans are unique in their capacity to create explanations of reality. Throughout the conversation, he challenges mainstream pessimism, anti-human sentiment, and educational practices that undermine critical thinking, while making a passionate case for individual liberty, free speech, and the centrality of human creativity in understanding our place in the universe.   https://www.bretthall.org/ Subscribe to Here for the Truth Fridays.
