On this episode of Skeptico, a show about belief systems.

Some people don't know what to do when their belief system collapses.

I did a long time ago that I was going to be open to everything, but not buying to any one and only belief system.

What?

You're attacking his whole belief system, weren't you?

And how we might use AI technology to change them?

Subjected to the most rigorous testing you can.

Have the most skeptical people attack it from every direction,

and if it can still withstand that storm, then people will have faith in it.

We would substitute people with skeptical agents, right?

Because if we can come to a point where we go, AI, smartest thing in the room, has read

every philosophical classic and thousands and thousands of current philosophical papers, then we'd have

something where we'd go, wow, that has to be in this different category of where I have to

incorporate it into my belief system.

That second clip you just heard was from our guest, Timothy Owen Desmond, who goes by Todd

and has written some very cool books and has a very cool course on psyche and singularity,

on Jungian philosophy and quantum physics and all sorts of really smart stuff.

But what we really engaged with in this dialogue is a continuation of these dialogues I've been having about

AI in terms of how the truth game is being played. I think you'll see what I mean as we jump

into this conversation. Welcome to Skeptico, where we explore science and spirituality. And I was

just saying to Todd that I'm really excited about today's show.

So we have Timothy Owen Desmond here, known as Todd. And super excited because you reached out to me
