Challenge for an academic

2 posts in this topic

Following the recent science episodes and after contemplating our short comment interaction on Youtube regarding the type of person who would be suitable for finishing the series in your 'challenge Leo' idea, there was an overwhelming sense of blood lust and people getting the popcorn out, ready for the intellectual slaughter of an academic. On a shallow day, I would find this amusing (like an Atheist trashing a Christian in a logical debate) but it would have no purpose. As you said: the type of person you'd be looking for is themselves a paradox and you'll never find someone like that. A conventional academics' ego would predictively get so defensive that the discussion would descend into an argument no matter what way you planned it. Instead of 'challenging Leo' would it be of good nature and benefit to find an academic who has come to a brick wall with their work and willing to hear another perspective with the potential of having their base worldview in academia and scientism shifted (it only needs to be a bit, not radically shifted). This is done to help them progress their work using a newfound systems view approach to their area of study. Instead of challenging them to challenge you, an academic asking questions about their work and ideas and you offering a different way of looking at it? It would be an opportunity to use what's been learned so far to help someone not so much see the light but even just see another way.
