“No scientist ten years ago would have ever gone along with this” “People don’t trust these science magazines anymore, they don’t trust medical institutions” “Everything we’ve seen on college campuses has infiltrated all the sciences now” In this episode, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Michael Shermer delve into the importance of scepticism and transparency. They discuss Michael’s own work in this field, both as prolific science writer and publisher of Skeptic Magazine. From woke-ism in science, to freedom of the press, to ‘blank slate’ theory, they cover all the bases to give a sharp analysis of contemporary Western culture. Hosted on Acast.
