The Perils of Isms, Part 2: Scientism

Episode Summary

In the second installment of this mini-series, the empire [of Scientism' strikes back, and we are called to fortify ourselves for another assault.

Episode Notes

Richard Feynman famously stated that "science is the belief in the ignorance of experts." From the horse's mouth, that's a pretty compelling statement... it appears that, despite being very much within the heart of the scientific world, Feynman in his timeless wisdom understood the limits of their achievements. 

Such humility seems to be missing from the scientific community today, and as I lay out in this presentation, it is not so surprising given its modern history...

In this episode, I discuss:

• The historic involvement of Rockefeller in the worlds of science and medicine
• Other major players molding the past, present, and future of material discovery
• The combined interests of corporatism and scientism
• Choosing irrational over rational understanding
• The hubris of technocracy
• Plans NOT to save the planet
• Mr. Gates, Mr. Schwaub, and the rest of the gang
• Ending on a positive note...

Thank you as always for listening to "Who's to Say? with Tom Foolery". We are just getting started...
