I love this podcast. One of the hosts (Michael Hobbes) used to be on "you're wrong about" which also dispelled common myths and misinformation. They look at bad science and epistemology in airport-type books, like Malcolm Gladwell or right wing nut jobs, etc.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
