Cool thanks! Another podcast to listen to.
Shit, I found a new podcast for me. Thank You!
I love this podcast. One of the hosts (Michael Hobbes) used to be on "you're wrong about" which also dispelled common myths and misinformation. They look at bad science and epistemology in airport-type books, like Malcolm Gladwell or right wing nut jobs, etc.
Hobbes👏doesn’t👏miss👏
I also love this podcast! Having not yet listened to this episode as well, I'd also like to share this classic History for Atheists pod (w/ references) on some of the things Pinker got wrong: https://historyforatheists.com/2021/09/interview-ted-mccormick-on-steven-pinkers-enlightenment/
