Episode #92: Aharon - Individual PoV and how consensus is reached

talkPOPc's Podcast

Our talkPOPc Fall 2022 Intern Aharon speaks with Resident Philosopher and talkPOPc founder Dr. Dena Shottenkirk about individual point of view and how we reach consensus.
Timestamps:

• 00:10: Introductions, Consensus view of Art, and favorite forms
• 01:20: Art as a subjective form. Based on the person perceiving it and stories like Harry Potter
• 02:50: Not just narrative, but the experience as well. 5 readers and 5 vastly different experiences?
• 04:15: Game of Thrones, the general objective consensus view. How does it happen if the experience is a subjective one? Rejection of consensus
• 05:40: We get consensus on a superficial level. The layers of experience
• 06:35: Consensus on how "good" or "worth" something is.
• 09:00: Every new change is a new branching path to analyze. Nuances of our own thoughts aren't exactly neat and orderly.
• 12:00: Art as knowledge acquisition. When we experience anything, only we truly understand that experienced. We can't really share it.
• 14:40: How do we come to consensus and bring it out into the social world?
• 16:00: Different approaches. Government makes all rules, letting the philosopher kings rule, or we each pay attention to the subjectivities of others
• 17:40: Respecting the subjectivities too much. Maybe a bit dangerous to society. But perhaps we need to listen but not make it a rule.
• 19:45: Just because it happens to you, does not give you the final say on definition, but your PoV still matters
• 21:35: The objective does exist, and through that we build claims of universal rules.
