Greetings everyone!

Just thought I'd share something here I'm convinced is important for everyone, both to know ourselves better and to live better lives in accordance with the real world we all share :)
For whomever this word is new, epistemology is the study of how we form beliefs and how we attain knowledge.

So what is the Street part of it? Basically, it's a dialectic technique, which aims at respectfully helping people think of their own beliefs, hopefully in ways they haven't before. Usually done by inviting people for short discussions on a topic of their choice.

This is a 9 minute animation fleshing out what it's about, but I strongly recommend checking out some of the videos on Anthony Magnabosco's channel, he's one of my favourite conversationalists.
