Simplicity in science (with Pat Flynn)

October 11, 2022 16:30 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MB

The idea of simplicity is at the cornerstone of science. From a certain perspective, science is all about "making things simple": we want to explain the behavior of large bodies in terms of its basic elements, like atoms in physics or cells in biology. Scientific theories compress information into simpler, more basic, parts. We talk about a few examples of this in modern science, and discuss how this guiding principle has led to impressive results in the realm of particle physics, and how i...

The Covid Cult on the two sides of the pond

April 12, 2021 19:32 - 1 hour - 184 MB

The debate around Covid- containment policies has been shaped from the very beginning by the experts' opinions and (allegedly) science.  However, as data and evidence from all around the world started to gather, it became increasingly clear that the official narrative (namely, that infections grow exponentially until reaching herd immunity, and only strong public interventions such as lockdowns and widespread closure can prevent this) was at odds with the data.  In particular, data from Swe...
