Today I’m joined by Thomas Nadelhoffer an associate professor in the philosophy department at the College of Charleston, an affiliate faculty member in psychology and neuroscience, and a BJJ brown belt.
We focus our conversation on the tribalism and rampant conspiracy theory acceptance in the BJJ community during the time of Covid-19.
I found the discussion of ‘My Risk, My Right’ (the idea that everyone has the right to choose the level of risk they expose themselves to) particularly interesting…
Thomas has previously written extensively about BJJ at his Grumpy Grappler blog. After I read his article about BJJ and the Empathy Gap I knew I had to have him on the show.
