Episode notes

I'm not sure if it shows everything that the hoaxers think it shows Right, and you know, it's just to add a little bit to the detail there were they wrote 21 fake papers They took what like eight or ten months? sort of writing writing up these papers and Seven were published I believe it's seven in peer review journals. But one of the things that I find not that Distressing is if you fake data and use the language of a field you can get a paper published now Let's not forget did you're unstoppable? who faked data and used the language of our field?"

What better way to celebrate our 150th episode than to bring back our favorite guest – Paul Bloom! We riff on a series of topics: the new “grievance studies” hoax, sex robot brothels, perverse desires, and perverse beliefs. Then we get a little navel gazey (OK maybe more than a little) and talk about podcasting as a form of media and discussion, good teaching, and what we’ve learned about our listeners and ourselves. (Note: the audio may sound a little echoey towards the end because of how far we’ve crawled up our own asses.) This was a fun one, enjoy!

Special Guest: Paul Bloom.
