What happens when we stop trying to win conversations—and start examining how we know what we think we know?

In this long-form conversation, I’m joined by Anthony Magnabosco, Executive Director of Street Epistemology International, to explore Street Epistemology (SE): a conversational approach designed to help people reflect on the quality of their reasoning—especially around deeply held, emotionally charged beliefs.
We discuss:
✅ What Street Epistemology is (and what it is not)
✅ SE vs. debate, deliberation, and dialogue
✅ Persuasion, advocacy, and ethical boundaries
✅ Cognitive biases like confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance
✅ The “outsider test” and other reflection-triggering techniques
✅ Belief, identity, tribalism, and polarization
✅ Intellectual humility and critical self-reflection
✅ Whether SE can be a tool for healing—not just reasoning
✅ Why calm, curiosity-driven conversations struggle in the modern attention economy
This episode is for anyone interested in better conversations, critical thinking, and navigating disagreement without coercion, ridicule, or performative outrage.
🎧 Ideal for educators, students, dialogue practitioners, skeptics, and anyone trying to make sense of belief, belonging, and truth in a polarized world.
