Failed Experimental Street Epistemology Videos

I was the only member of my team who thought we should release this video of my experimental Street Epistemology (SE) conversations I conducted in Budapest, Hungary. The content is poor; I didn’t accomplish what I set out to accomplish; they’re not shot well; I’m not even sure they’re interesting. So, what are these videos and why did I decide to release them against the counsel of my team?

I’m experimenting with new flavors of Street Epistemology, and one of those is called “Hidden Claim Street Epistemology” (HCSE). One key goal of Street Epistemology is to help individuals assess whether the methods they use to come to conclusions can be relied upon and to help them calibrate their confidence accordingly. With HCSE, a person thinks of a conclusion they hold with a high degree of confidence, but they do not tell anyone that conclusion.

In other words, an individual articulates a belief to themselves and the person who’s conducting SE asks them questions about their belief not knowing what that belief is. Bizarre, I know. The goal is identical to traditional SE, to help people reflect more deeply about their beliefs, it is not to guess the belief.
