Episode notes
Gain of function research, particularly in the context of the Wuhan virus, is a clearly bad idea. Despite its obvious drawbacks, this idea succeeds in the marketplace of ideas, even among highly trained virologists. Understanding why bad ideas thrive is crucial in comprehending the prevalence of ridiculous concepts in society, such as discriminating college admissions based on skin color. This is related to the pathologies of monarchies and the oligarchy that governs democratic societies today. While bad monarchies repress good ideas, our system promotes and spreads bad ideas without a conscious plan.
