Ep 51: Linguistics & Philosophy
Synopsis
Professional Comedian, Linguist and Philosopher Myq Kaplan came onto the podcast to talk about the importance of linguistics (the study of language and its structure), the school of ethics in philosophy and some of the fun thought experiments like The Trolley Problem. To finish off the podcast, it wouldn’t be fair to NOT discuss Free Will vs Determinism.
