About this episode
What makes someone a pseudo-intellectual? If we treat philosophy like a trade, what does it look like when done poorly? In this episode, we review two arguments by public intellectuals who present two different arguments regarding God. Žižek compares God to a video game developer, and Neil deGrasse Tyson brings up the Problem of Evil.
Some arguments are useful for identifying pseudo-intellectuals. The problem of evil is one of these arguments that, besides the argument itself, is useful for determining the intellectual integrity and capability of the interlocutor.
