Mike Huemer joins Spencer Case for a wide-ranging discussion about epistemology. Mike argues that you should trust the experts rather than relying on your own "critical thinking"; Spencer's not so sure.  They also discuss two strategies for rejecting the Brain-in-a-Vat argument for external world skepticism.
