How to Talk to a Theist | A Beginner's Guide to Street Epistemology with Anthony Magnabosco

Learning about Street Epistemology from Peter Boghossian and then watching Anthony Magnabosco putting that theory into practice on the streets with real people was a revelation for me! In fact, it informed the spirit of Rationable to begin with - having civil, respectful discussions about beliefs.
So I had to have Anthony on for an interview. In this episode of Rationable Conversations, he gives us a toolkit - a beginners guide, if you will - that will help us all start having conversations, with friends, loved ones or even people on the streets, about their beliefs and how they arrived at those beliefs. This could be about religion, ghosts, political leanings, conspiracy theorists or pretty much anything else.
If you find yourself losing your cool in such situations or struggling to find a way to make these conversations productive, this is the video for you.
