Oh, opiate addiction's bad.

Ibogaine, this thing that I've never heard of that science is saying.

And no one's like, no one knows science.

the world's not scientifically we are completely scientifically illiterate and and uh and have no like a real dearth of critical thinking skills and so which by the way i'm bringing back my science podcast here we are it's at the same time that the special drops so check that out i interview scientists of academic each week in different different fields um

And you can just listen to the way that scientists talk, and then it helps you think about how scientific thinking works.

Like scientists say, I don't know more than any human being you will ever meet in your entire life.

We pretend like we know.

You could be talking to the world's leading authority on a subject and ask them the simplest question about it, and they're like,

uh i don't know i'll literally i'll research someone's work and be like oh this was the stuff that like got them 10 year then like and got them published in nature which is like the biggest thing for a scientist i'll ask him about that work you know more stuff's come in since i'm not sure i really buy into that my own best idea

And yeah, the models are always getting a lot more complex and sophisticated.

And so the whole game is you're always trying to think of like, are there alternative explanations for things?

And then is there a way that you can... So the whole thing that is also opposite of how every human's mind works is that

Science goes about falsifying things.

So you, you come up with an idea and then you go like, okay, how would this work?

And then how could I form a test, uh, to test this?

And what I'm trying to do with the test is I'm trying to falsify my, how do I prove myself wrong in as many possible ways?

And then you really run your idea through a gauntlet.

And then after you're done with that, you find people in related fields that are expertises and things that you aren't in case you have blind spots.

And then you go, hey, can anyone find some shit that's wrong with my ideas?

And then after enough peer review, none of this is perfect.
