Street epistemology is a name for a process of asking questions to a person to get them to question the beliefs that they have. This process is also know as the socratic method. Street epistemology or the socratic method is teaching through questioning that leads a person to a certain way of thinking. By questing the teacher allows the student to come to his own conclusion which with luck will be the view point of the teacher. The process works best when the teacher is correct in his reasoning and starting conclusions otherwise the student can come to believe something the teacher was not anticipating. Street epistemology is not so much a teacher and a student relationship but a conversation between equals with differing beliefs.

Can the concepts of the science of superimmortality be taught is terms of street epistemology where two equals but with different beliefs are discussing ideas? Superimmortality is such a large and complex science it can not be explained in one session of sequenced questioning. As a result the different major aspects of superimmortality be be tackled separately.
