Why You Shouldn't Fear Bad Ideas - SOLO! Drs. A.V. Bendebury & M.S. DeLay, DemystifySci #367

Shilo and Nastia sit down for a wide-ranging conversation about engaging with controversial thinkers, the role of skepticism in uncovering truth, and the cultural resistance to uncomfortable ideas. We cover the limits of philosophy and science, the prevalence of propaganda on all corners of the internet, and the sacred cow ideas that shape our understanding of reality.
