The team sits down with Olly Thorn, AKA Philosophy Tube, to talk about scientism... which is the ideology by which the world's most pareto optimised stupid/confident jackasses blithely claim to understand the entire world by just using a calculator and making some shit up. It's at the root of phrenology, both classic and modern, the tedious gender politics of the anti-trans lobby, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Enjoy!
Also... there's an election on!
