Twitter intervention with a right-wing extremist

 

 

This sixth tutorial shows that Street Epistemology doesn’t have to be conducted in person. Social media platforms like email, Facebook, and Twitter can be great places to have reflective conversations as well as practice for face-to-face encounters.

This tutorial also illustrates the versatility of Street Epistemology—discussions do not have to be about a God belief.

Due to the potential dry nature of the material, several notable atheists volunteered to narrate tweets. Their names are revealed near the end of the video. The views and opinions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the views of the participants or their respective organizations.

It is my hope that seeing these techniques, as detailed in Dr. Peter Boghossian’s book, “A Manual for Creating Atheists,” will encourage others to start putting these ideas into practice and help people live self-examined lives.

This tutorial was based largely on screenshots from an actual Twitter discussion. A small portion of the tweets were re-constructed from memory. The representation shown here is as true to the actual talk wherever possible. Links to screenshots of the discussion and to a longer video without commentary can be found below.

Want more “breakdown” videos? Let me know which encounter I’ve conducted that you want to see deconstructed in the ‘Comments’ section, and I’ll consider it.
