Reason Is Fun is the idea that what is rational is the same as what is fun – that the fields of epistemology, morality and enjoyment are all deeply interconnected and take the same actions. ’Trade-offs’ simply mean you haven’t understood something. Hear conversations between host Lulie Tanett and quantum physicist David Deutsch, exploring how epistemology can be applied to everything.
