Philosophy TV: Elga, Schechter, and White on the Problem of Troublingly Contingent Beliefs

Over at Philosophy TV, Adam Elga, Joshua Schecter, and Roger White discuss the following problem:

Elga maintains that this sort of contingency of our beliefs should not by itself undermine our confidence in them. Schechter and White challenge that position.
