Ep. 130 - We Were WRONG

Aug 2, 2021

The cornerstone of scientific thinking is updating your beliefs based on the available evidence. Unfortunately this conflicts with the cornerstone of being a cult of personality guru leader, which requires doubling down and never admitting fault or when you’re wrong. In this episode we break the fourth wall, coming down off the top of the pyramid to have a non-canon discussion about all the times we’ve changed our minds and updated our beliefs. Not only is each instance an opportunity to discuss how specific evidence has changed over time and the nuances of a given topic, but the entire episode serves as a meta-discussion on continually learning. Make sure to tune into this one to hear all the times we’ve been wrong, but then quickly forget about it because Omar and I are never wrong.
