Recontextualizing our thoughts and experiences w/ Justin McSweeny (#004)

For the Curious and Confused by Don McTaggart

Episode notes

Justin is a thoughtful and capable "average guy" who runs a YouTube based interview series called “Idea Cast” where he has detailed and technical conversations with experts in the social sciences, philosophy, and arts. In these interviews, Justin aims to better illustrate the frameworks we have to understand meaning making and purpose. He pulls from many tools in cognitive science, psychology and philosophy to explore the world and self. Justin combines these fields to better understand not only the process of how we interact with our environment but also as a means to know ourselves and how we learn and grow.

Though Justin has a remarkable depth of understanding on many topics, he’s the first to point out what he doesn’t know, and I believe you’ll notice how his genuine humility only strengthens his credibility.
