Dr. Randy Bach

That was me. I apologize. There we are. Now you're in. Thank you so much, Dr. Drew. I had myself muted so I wouldn't step on anybody's toes during the excellent Tom Renz interview. Thank you so much for that.

Tell me about it. I think it's a topic that, yeah, I'd love that. I mean, you're far more expert on these topics than I am, but I think I try to bring kind of an outsider perspective to whatever I do. It doesn't always work at home. I mean, my wife expects me to have insider respect with our marriage, but for many other things I try to do.

Yeah, you mentioned the null hypothesis, and I actually used that term just earlier today. I was communicating with Dr. Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, maybe MA, I don't know. He's a multi-credentialed guy, a professor. He kind of got attacked by the woke mob in 2015 at Yale University, near and dear to my heart. I remember this. Yeah.

And so we had a little bit of communique because I had written an article recently in Brownstone for whom I write regularly. And thank you, Jeffrey Tucker. And it was about, you know, kind of China 2020, all that kind of stuff. And I, you know, I'd made a judgment about what he had written. Anyway, long story short. he wrote back recently that he's going to look into the Zika thing himself.

But I was using the null hypothesis concept with him that you really just can't look at the Zika phenomenon. You have to kind of look at it with an open mind. And that's what I think people don't do enough of with a lot of these things.

That's a great point. You know, science gets applied to a lot of things. I mean, I know lots of my, you know, contemporaries, kids, you know, are studying political science. And maybe there's some science to that, and there's social science. But science, you know, kind of has two terms. I mean, there's the body of knowledge. Science, you know, refers to knowledge like conscience and whatnot.

But there's also the collection process, which has to, you know, fall under kind of reproducibility. You know, there's this gravity thing. And every time I drop this, it'll happen over and over again, unless there's a strong wind. You know, this is pretty much reproducible, improvable. But not many things wind up having that kind of rigor of reproducibility.

I was just speaking with Jacob Rich, who writes for Reason. There's a tongue twister there. And he was talking about, you know, he's been going over a lot of these kind of meta-analytic studies. And, you know, it's GIGO, garbage in, garbage out. People have, you know, the answers they want, and then they put stuff in, and they wind up getting, you know, whatever they can kind of come out with,

And I think you pointed that to the first part of this interview, when you're talking about kind of parsing out, you know, death data, because people put in what they want to at the time. And you really, you know, it's kind of like trying to untangle, you know, the spaghetti. It's harder, you know, it's easy at the beginning, it's hard at the end. It's all mixed up together.

And these things, you know, kind of get... But, you know, I don't want to divert from our time here.
