The Matrix and the Half-Life of Facts by Sam Arbusman

Lux: The goal with the show and sorry, this is a crazy roundabout answer is to do that for other people. There's actually a good book called the Half-Life of Facts by this guy Sam Arbusman. And it's true, just like radioactive isotope decay and the consensus has a decay function. I disagree with Stephen Pinker. I don't think we're at the apex of human enlightenment. But there will be wild overturning of our current body of knowledge.
