Episode Synopsis "Epistemology 1 (Empiricism, Relativism, and Adam & Eve)"

In this episode we discuss what knowledge is and how it comes about. We discuss why is that knowledge can so easily become corrupted and mainly explore this topic through the Genesis story of Adam and Eve "falling" from heaven due to the attainment of the knowledge of good and evil. The Genesis story quite nicely segways into our discussion of evil and if humans have some inheritance of evil.  Other things we lightly touch on are: empiricism, relativism, and Nietzsche's concept of the ubermensch and how it may relate to the Cain symbol (post-paradise lost era).
