I posit that much as the Enlightenment killed God, we are watching it happen again. Rationalism is dying - the framework of truth we had is now breaking under the weigh...

#6 Alice O'Keefe: Nanoparticles to Treat Brain Tumours, Interpreting Quantum Mechanics and the Utility of Buddhism for Science
"The fact that Science can call itself out when there are gaps in its knowledge - and it can update and make revisions overtime - people see that as being inconsistent, but it's actually more about being being more and more confident over time as we update our understanding. People think that Science contradicts itself, but that's the best part."My guest today is Alice O'Keefe.
