When you're when you're a lot older, you're a lot older than my granddaughter, but the she's about the only young person I talked to. But anyway, old people like to talk about our grandchildren.
Imagine a world where 'Trust the Science' is a dangerous mantra. In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein and Judah Friedman are joined by Myles Wakeham from Beunconstrained.com and Adam King, the former prince of Pico. Together, they dive into the perils of accepting scientific claims without scrutiny. They draw some chilling comparisons to Nazi Germany, where blind faith in science led to horrifying outcomes. The conversation doesn't stop there.
They also tackle the Epstein/Maxwell case, pondering why some of the world's most powerful individuals seem to evade justice so effortlessly. Corruption in America gets its fair share of attention too, with the hosts and guests expressing frustration over the polarized political landscape that stifles nuanced debate. And in a refreshing twist, they discuss how art can be a powerful tool for addressing contemporary issues and sparking meaningful change.
As always, Ben Stein reminds us that despite its flaws, America remains a great country. This episode is packed with thought-provoking discussions that will leave you questioning the role of science, ethics, and politics in today's world.
