James Ellias asked me excellent questions in a recent series of interviews about my book, A Validation of Knowledge. James has published the first two episodes:

Discussing “A Validation of Knowledge” With Ron Pisaturo: Part 1: on Hierarchy (1:04:16)

Discussing “A Validation of Knowledge” With Ron Pisaturo: Part 2: on Hierarchy (1:50:39)

The remaining episodes are even more technical than these two, and James has not yet decided whether to publish them. (See also James’s channel on induction in physics.)

Arshak Benlian (@agbenlian on Twitter) also asked me excellent questions in his recent series of eleven interviews of me about the book. (See that link also for interviews by Arshak of me on other topics, and for other discussions by Arshak.)

This week, Peter McAllister interviewed me on a more polemical topic in epistemology: “Must scientists accept axioms on faith, just as theists do?” We play a snippet of a discussion between Jordan Peterson and James Lindsay, who generally defend reason and other Enlightenment ideas against the woke, but who evidently think the answer is yes. Peter and I argue against Peterson and Lindsay, but we try to turn polemics into a positive presentation of fundamental epistemological ideas. See our one-hour video on Rumble or below.
