The DemystifySci Podcast

David de Hilster is the creator of the Dissident Science YT channel and president of the John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society, and he's got a bone to pick with fundamental physics. Fields as the foundational organizing principle don't make any sense. In his view "push" is the only force that makes sense and is produced by four fundamental motions. We talk expanding earth, why Einstein was wrong, what makes great science, and what a new era of mechanistic physics might look like.    Support the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB   Or by purchasing David's book, Principia Mathematica 2: https://youtu.be/7QJUJxJKvNo Dissident Science on YT:  https://www.youtube.com/@UCT87-DzFFbPkAIk2PRZuz2A    David's Community: https://www.dissidentscience.com/ #physics #science #demystifysci                         Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience   AND our material science investigations of atomics,  @MaterialAtomics  https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomics Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S      PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Bernardo Kastrup has a PhD in philosophy and another in computer science, and is interested in a theory of consciousness that by necessity emerges from quantum physics. Which, in short, suggests that reality isn't real. What we interact with is just a dashboard,  a simulacrum of what's actually going on. We try to understand limits of what matters, try on alternative interpretations for quantum spookiness, and try to make sense of why the world looks and acts the way that it does.    Steer the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB   Or by getting one of Bernardo Kastrup's books: Decoding Jung's Metaphysics: https://amzn.to/3HmaWUBWhy Materialism is Baloney: https://amzn.to/3kA1bJC Decoding Schopenhauer's Metaphysics: https://amzn.to/3WmHe6c The Idea of the World: https://amzn.to/3XMsLBD More than Allegory: https://amzn.to/3WqUE16 Dreamed Up Reality: https://amzn.to/3WsjxcAScience Ideated: https://amzn.to/3kwGXAu Meaning in Absurdity: https://amzn.to/3ZMex5D Rationalist Spirituality: https://amzn.to/3GQHlB2 Brief Peeks Beyond: https://amzn.to/3HnCOYDPandeism: https://amzn.to/3knBXOk Strange Dimensions: https://amzn.to/3QT9z2U  #physics #consciousness #psychology                         Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience   AND our material science investigations of atomics,  @MaterialAtomics  https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomics Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S      PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Dr. Thomas Metzinger is a renowned philosopher and professor of theoretical philosophy at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. He also serves as a member of the European Commission’s High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence. Our eye-opening conversation with Dr. Metzinger explored a range of favorite topics all centered on the question: what does it mean to be a human in the post-modern landscape of for-profit healthscare, algorithmic decision-making, and endless war. We also discuss how the brightest future might result from the tiniest changes at the level of the individual, despite the self's inevitable recession into the increasingly totalitarian, yet inevitably unstable, global industrial-state machinery.   Support the scientific revolution with a monthly donation: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB    Or pick up Dr. Metzinger's book:  https://amzn.to/3H5HBO5 As always, let us know what you think in the comments!    #self #consciousness #selfcare                          Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience   AND our material science investigations of atomics,  @MaterialAtomics  https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomics Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S      PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

What happens when the FDA approves a drug that doesn't work? Say it gets accelerated approval from the regulatory body, but further clinical trials demonstrate a lack of efficacy. Normally, the agency requests that the company take their drug off the market, the company does so, and so the wheel turns. But when post-approval clinical trials showed that Genentech's blockbuster breast cancer drug Avastin was killing women, the company broke with more than a century of tradition, and declined to take their drug off the market. We talk with Miami University's Mikkael Sekeres about his experience sitting on the jury for the trial that denied Genentech's right to keep selling Avastin to breast cancer patients, regulatory capture, care for the dying, gamesmanship at the FDA and much, much more.

What happens when corrupt incentive structures and incorrect ecological assumptions crash into each other? A billion crabs vanish, and everyone blames it on the nebulous effects of a changing climate. Everyone, that is, except for Spencer Roberts - freelance journalist with bylines at the Intercept, Jacobin, Nautlius, and The New Republic. Roberts started looking into the hyperbolic headlines and discovered a predictable mess of corrupt incentive structures, questionable ecological practices, and a bottomless appetite for exploiting ever-deeper, colder waters. We talk greenwashing, corrupt incentives, government as corporation, nuclear power, and what to do about everything that's wrong. #climatechange  #corruption  #demystifysci Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience   AND our material science investigations of atomics,  @MaterialAtomics  THE MATERIAL WORLD https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomics Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Could the universe be shaped by consciousness, rather than the other way around? Most researchers working under the classical paradigm would say no - awareness is something that emerges from space time. But a new generation of cognitive neuroscientists, philosophers, and physicists has rebelled against the stalemate at the heart of consciousness research by asserting that clearly, obviously, inexorably... awareness must come first. This conversation with Dr. Jude Currivan, cosmological archaeologist with  Masters in Physics from Oxford university, is our second attempt to understand how the physical world can spring from an abstraction. We talk about the mythmaking powers of science, the nature of reality, the holographic principle, and how it is not enough to consider things themselves - any robust theory of reality that attempts to understand awareness itself must explore the network itself.

Dr. David Carballo is back for another round with DemystifySci, this time all about the timeline of the peopling of the Americas. We talk about the timeline for human habitation of the Americas, where those people might have come from, and how it was that they came to organize themselves into villages, cities, and eventually empires. The first half of the conversation deals extensively with the early human history of the Americas, and the second half is all about the specifics of Teotihuacan - who built it, how did they do it, and how do we know?   Support the scientific revolution with a monthly donation: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB   Or by getting one of Dr. Carballo's books: Collision of Worlds: https://amzn.to/3GeBpTw Urbanization and Religion in Ancient Central Mexico: https://amzn.to/3hQF1BH Cooperation and Collective Action: https://amzn.to/3Vhjzn6Obsidian Reflections: https://amzn.to/3WINWEc    #ancienthistory #archeology #demystifysci                      Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience   AND our material science investigations of atomics,  @MaterialAtomics   THE MATERIAL WORLD https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomics Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S      PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

Is it possible to view the future before it happens? A buttoned-up academy scientist would probably say no, but Julia Mossbridge, founding executive director of the Institute for Love and Time, would say yes. She comes from a line of scientists who have been willing to dive into the very edges of what can be studied with empirical science, and has come back from the front with stories to tell. We talk about the nature of science, the aggressive reactions in the establishment, how to train precognitive abilities, and much much more.    Support the scientific revolution with a monthly donation: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB   Or by buying Dr. Mossbridge's books: The Premonition Code: https://amzn.to/3vduaowTranscendent Mind: https://amzn.to/3hJvkFm As always, let us know what you think in the comments!   #consciousness     #cosmology     #physics                     Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience   AND our material science investigations of atomics,  @MaterialAtomics   THE MATERIAL WORLD https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomics Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S      PODCAST INFO:  Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.
