00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:20,570
welcome to skeptic oh where we explore

2
00:00:24,859 --> 00:00:22,290
controversial science with leading

3
00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:24,869
researchers thinkers and their critics

4
00:00:31,310 --> 00:00:27,660
I'm your host alexsa Karis and on this

5
00:00:33,860 --> 00:00:31,320
short little abbreviated episode I have

6
00:00:38,299 --> 00:00:33,870
a couple of things to announce and talk

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:38,309
about the first being a book is done why

8
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:41,010
science is wrong about almost everything

9
00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:44,399
is done it's out it's printed here on my

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:47,820
desk it's available on Amazon the

11
00:00:51,739 --> 00:00:50,010
printed version is available it's out of

12
00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:51,749
stock right now for a couple days I

13
00:00:56,419 --> 00:00:53,670
guess I just talked to my publisher by

14
00:01:00,049 --> 00:00:56,429
email and has to do with the way amazon

15
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,059
orders these initial books and all that

16
00:01:04,250 --> 00:01:02,640
stuff but it'll be back very soon you

17
00:01:06,740 --> 00:01:04,260
can order it there we hope to have the

18
00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:06,750
kindle version up soon that's coming as

19
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:09,630
well so please do check it out there or

20
00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:11,369
if you have another source where you

21
00:01:16,429 --> 00:01:13,860
like to get your books please go there

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:16,439
and check out by science is wrong about

23
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:18,930
almost everything and with the

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:20,430
announcement of the book I of course

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:24,930
want to thank all of you for the help

26
00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:27,570
and support that you've given me with

27
00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:29,759
the skeptical project that's led to this

28
00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:32,869
book and also for many of the ideas that

29
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:35,840
have really been formulated through my

30
00:01:41,569 --> 00:01:39,360
interaction with you I have to tell you

31
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:41,579
one of the things I'm most excited about

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:45,240
with the book is using it as a vehicle

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:48,810
to connect with more people it's always

34
00:01:54,649 --> 00:01:52,170
exciting to be able to share what I've

35
00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:54,659
learned to share some of this new

36
00:01:59,959 --> 00:01:58,079
science and I've already begun to do

37
00:02:01,580 --> 00:01:59,969
that I've completed a couple of

38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:01,590
interviews on the book and they've been

39
00:02:05,779 --> 00:02:03,810
great and it's so fun to talk to people

40
00:02:07,849 --> 00:02:05,789
who never heard about some of this stuff

41
00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:07,859
before and expose it to them for the

42
00:02:11,870 --> 00:02:09,390
first time just like I said in a min ago

43
00:02:14,810 --> 00:02:11,880
that's really working out I have several

44
00:02:17,380 --> 00:02:14,820
more scheduled and I wanted to reach out

45
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:17,390
to all of you if you know of other

46
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:19,210
outlets where

47
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:22,510
I can go on and talk about this book and

48
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:25,090
get these ideas out there please let me

49
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:28,930
know I'm particularly keen to talk to

50
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:32,050
groups that might not be initially super

51
00:02:38,010 --> 00:02:35,680
receptive but might be able to find some

52
00:02:40,380 --> 00:02:38,020
points of synergy where we could kind of

53
00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:40,390
shoe horn our way in there I really

54
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:42,070
would like to talk to skeptics about the

55
00:02:48,690 --> 00:02:45,280
book I'd love to talk to mainstream

56
00:02:52,230 --> 00:02:48,700
science types love to talk to mainstream

57
00:02:54,420 --> 00:02:52,240
media types and I'd love to talk to a

58
00:02:56,970 --> 00:02:54,430
theists of course and Christians and all

59
00:02:59,460 --> 00:02:56,980
sorts of folks if you have any ideas

60
00:03:01,230 --> 00:02:59,470
along those lines or if you're a blogger

61
00:03:02,910 --> 00:03:01,240
a podcast or have those kind of

62
00:03:05,010 --> 00:03:02,920
connections let me know that's just

63
00:03:06,990 --> 00:03:05,020
going to be exciting to me and it's

64
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:07,000
going to be fun to get that out there

65
00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:11,740
and as I do get that out there and go

66
00:03:16,170 --> 00:03:13,780
through that process I want to let you

67
00:03:19,350 --> 00:03:16,180
know that I've set up a website to more

68
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:19,360
or less Chronicle that journey of the

69
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:21,850
rollout of the book and talking to these

70
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:24,850
different groups the website is why

71
00:03:30,570 --> 00:03:27,910
science is wrong calm and I'll get a

72
00:03:33,210 --> 00:03:30,580
link up sooner rather than later to that

73
00:03:35,490 --> 00:03:33,220
and you can follow along and see who i'm

74
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:35,500
talking to and how it goes and add your

75
00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:37,360
comments over there so i think we can

76
00:03:42,870 --> 00:03:40,360
have a fun time together exploring where

77
00:03:45,090 --> 00:03:42,880
that may lead now the second

78
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:45,100
announcement i want to make has to do

79
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:48,010
with the skeptic Osho and it more or

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:50,050
less relates to what I was just talking

81
00:03:55,290 --> 00:03:52,930
about there I feel that the skeptic Osho

82
00:03:59,070 --> 00:03:55,300
has gone through a couple major

83
00:04:01,470 --> 00:03:59,080
revisions I always think of skeptic oh 1

84
00:04:05,610 --> 00:04:01,480
point 0 as being follow the data

85
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:05,620
wherever elites and that was me thinking

86
00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:09,010
that science and skepticism was but

87
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:10,990
pretty much of a straight-up game and we

88
00:04:14,850 --> 00:04:13,120
just had to dig into the science and

89
00:04:17,580 --> 00:04:14,860
we'd get the answers that we need and

90
00:04:21,210 --> 00:04:17,590
there's some truth to that but I think

91
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:21,220
what it led to was a greater truth that

92
00:04:26,030 --> 00:04:23,410
I call skeptic 02 point 0 at least to

93
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:26,040
myself I call it that and that was about

94
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:29,260
it's more than the data

95
00:04:35,190 --> 00:04:31,810
about the larger culture of science it's

96
00:04:37,770 --> 00:04:35,200
about deception conspiracy it's about

97
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:37,780
the way the world works and the

98
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:39,610
motivations of the individuals involved

99
00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:42,610
and we've explored that a great deal on

100
00:04:48,270 --> 00:04:44,470
skeptic oh and it's led to some

101
00:04:51,390 --> 00:04:48,280
interesting places so with that I kind

102
00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:51,400
of see the show moving towards skeptic

103
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Oh three-point oh and that's formulating

104
00:05:01,530 --> 00:04:57,010
in my mind right now but I kind of see

105
00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:01,540
it as the data collective and it's about

106
00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:05,260
how you and I can learn from each other

107
00:05:12,180 --> 00:05:09,220
in crowd source this journey that I've

108
00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:12,190
been talking about that I have been on

109
00:05:16,830 --> 00:05:14,560
but really I've been on it with you

110
00:05:19,260 --> 00:05:16,840
because as you know if you followed the

111
00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:19,270
show you know especially recently I've

112
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:21,520
relied more and more on skeptical

113
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:24,850
listeners to suggest guests and recently

114
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:27,850
I've even asked skeptical listeners to

115
00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:29,050
go ahead and book the guest you know

116
00:05:32,940 --> 00:05:30,940
contact them send them an email see if

117
00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:32,950
they want to be on the show and you guys

118
00:05:36,540 --> 00:05:34,960
have done a fabulous job of that there's

119
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:36,550
been some great emails that really are

120
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:39,790
much better than I could write to entice

121
00:05:44,370 --> 00:05:42,370
people to join me on the show and

122
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:44,380
they've led to some really great

123
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:47,710
interviews that I've grown a lot from so

124
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:49,570
I want to do that but I want to take it

125
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:52,030
one step further now if you check out

126
00:05:57,810 --> 00:05:54,310
the skeptical form you may have noticed

127
00:06:00,090 --> 00:05:57,820
that I just put up a thread announcing

128
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:00,100
my upcoming interview with a gentleman

129
00:06:04,740 --> 00:06:03,250
named dr. Larry malerba and he wrote a

130
00:06:07,140 --> 00:06:04,750
book a few years ago called green

131
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:07,150
medicine and he recently published a

132
00:06:11,910 --> 00:06:10,180
blog post on Bernardo Cass trips blog

133
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:11,920
and that's how I heard about him

134
00:06:17,070 --> 00:06:14,290
Bernardo connected me with him and I've

135
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:17,080
opened up a thread on The Skeptical form

136
00:06:23,070 --> 00:06:19,210
so i can take advantage of this

137
00:06:26,550 --> 00:06:23,080
incredible collective knowledge of the

138
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:26,560
skeptical listeners and hopefully you

139
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:28,210
can help guide me and we can work

140
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:31,570
together to figure out what direction I

141
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:33,730
should take this interview and I think

142
00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:36,160
that has two benefits one obviously I

143
00:06:40,110 --> 00:06:37,870
can be better informed and ask better

144
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:40,120
questions but the other thing that I

145
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:42,210
really want to get to is I've known

146
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:43,919
so many times in the skeptic Oh

147
00:06:49,159 --> 00:06:47,370
interviews that it's really the second

148
00:06:52,820 --> 00:06:49,169
interview or the follow-up to the first

149
00:06:56,029 --> 00:06:52,830
interview where some of the main media

150
00:06:58,339 --> 00:06:56,039
STA issues really get resolved it's the

151
00:07:00,559 --> 00:06:58,349
interview two point oh if I can stretch

152
00:07:02,420 --> 00:07:00,569
the revision metaphor a little bit

153
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:02,430
further but I think that's where all the

154
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:05,250
action happens and what I'm hoping is

155
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:08,449
that by you participating in helping me

156
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:10,889
formulate the ideas for these upcoming

157
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:13,110
interviews we can work together we can

158
00:07:17,719 --> 00:07:15,210
maybe even collect some information have

159
00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:17,729
an exchange with the guests which I've

160
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:19,949
offered to do with Larry and larry has

161
00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:22,050
agreed to in a limited sense so we can

162
00:07:27,020 --> 00:07:24,479
actually have a pre email interview

163
00:07:30,589 --> 00:07:27,030
through the form and then really get to

164
00:07:32,420 --> 00:07:30,599
some of the meaty stuff in the show so I

165
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:32,430
don't know exactly how that's going to

166
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:34,409
turn out but I think it'll be

167
00:07:40,010 --> 00:07:37,110
interesting and fun and it's certainly a

168
00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:40,020
direction that I'd like to go with it

169
00:07:43,189 --> 00:07:41,340
because I think it's a direction that

170
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:43,199
we're already going with and it's just

171
00:07:49,850 --> 00:07:46,530
more explicitly acknowledging your role

172
00:07:51,260 --> 00:07:49,860
in this whole process so let me hear

173
00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:51,270
your thoughts on that you know we don't

174
00:07:54,409 --> 00:07:52,800
have to do it exactly the way that I'm

175
00:07:56,870 --> 00:07:54,419
talking about we might find a better way

176
00:07:59,870 --> 00:07:56,880
I will issue a word of warning on

177
00:08:03,499 --> 00:07:59,880
suggestions be careful what you suggest

178
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:03,509
you may find yourself being construed as

179
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:06,090
volunteering for something but that's

180
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:09,750
okay too so I usually wrap up these

181
00:08:15,709 --> 00:08:13,169
episodes with a question and I think the

182
00:08:18,770 --> 00:08:15,719
question here has already been put forth

183
00:08:22,370 --> 00:08:18,780
and that is what direction should we

184
