Dissecting the GOLDILOCKS Theory of the Universe | Hn 80

Adam and Tyrone dive deep into metaphysics using a classic children's story as a springboard. Come get philosophical and have some fun!

00:00 – Intro. Tyrone introduces the episode with a pun and an Olivia Newton-John classic.
00:46 – Tyrone introduces the article this episode is based on (linked below): "Goldilocks is a criminal, and there are no dials". Bizarrely, this leads to a discussion of the Goldilocks Principle, cosmological constants, and even the "multiverse".
05:57 – Tyrone gives his own annoying example of some sloppy thinking.
08:35 -- Adam and Tyrone dive into the metaphysical (and psychological and religious) implications of this line of thinking.
13:35 -- Adam takes a shot at the concept of "infinity".
17:12 -- Tyrone takes a shot at some of the popular "intelligent design" arguments. Adam tries to give this "devil" its due.
22:52 -- Tyrone brings up Ayn Rand, just for fun.
26:39 -- Adam tries to grapple with the inadequacy of our own language to adequately describe the universe we live in.
29:34 -- Outro. Justice for the bears!
