Chapters
YouTube Description
as posted by the channel@michaelshermer built a career defending science and reason against charlatans, conspiracy theorists, and zealots of all stripes. So why are the institutions he defended now among the least trustworthy forces in public life?
Peter Boghossian and Michael Shermer dissect the collapse of expert credibility, the UK grooming gang cover-up, Popper's paradox of tolerating intolerance, and whether the West has the courage and honesty to save itself. If you think the post-truth crisis is a right-wing problem, this conversation will cost you that comfortable delusion.
