Hi all! Dave here! Welcome to my channel, thank you for clicking through and checking it out. Here you can find a variety of videos, with a focus on skepticism, epistemology, philosophy, critical thinking, and atheism. Along with links to discussions I've had with others on other channels. You may also find the odd video about films (especially relating to horror, my favourite genre), tv shows, and any other content that might catch my fancy occasionally.
I also sometimes offer critiques of atheists, and the atheist community. So if you don't like the in-group being criticised, my channel might not be for you. If you think critical thinking and skepticism applies to atheists and skeptics too, then you may find some material here that interests you!

Personal Identity #4: What is Personal Identity?
#atheists #atheism #skeptics #skepticism #philosophy #personalidentity
Hey all! Welcome to part four of the series discussing personal identity as it relates to philosophy. In the previous parts we looked at some ways of getting us to think about personal identity, but never actually defined what it is. In this video we focus on what personal identity is, along with some reasons why it is an important concept in philosophy.

Testimony and Rationality
Переглядів 763 місяці тому
#atheists #atheism #skeptics #skepticism Over the years I have heard many sceptics and atheists argue that testimony is not evidence, and that it is irrational to believe something based on testimony. Yet, testimony plays a major part in how we come to learn things about lots of different topics. In this video I put forward a simple argument based on ideas from David Hume and Thomas Reid about ...
