Dr. Anton Van Der Merwe on dangerous left wing anti-science dogmas

from The Rational View podcast with Dr. Al Scott · host Al Scott

In this episode I’m going to play devil’s advocate and look at the flaws on the left of the political spectrum. I am always trying to challenge my biases and poke holes in my positions by listening to opposing opinions. I have been butting heads with a UK professor over social media on several issues recently as he has been posting what I would consider biased right wing positions and I have been challenging him. We are both in agreement on many issues, however, that may come as a surprise to those people on the left. This is a job for The Rational View. Dr. Anton Van Der Merwe is a Professor of Molecular Immunology at the University of Oxford. He has been on the left his entire life from membership of the ANC, while in South Africa, to membership of the Labour Party since living in the U.K. He is also a passionate environmentalist. He has recently expressed  dismay at how the left and environmental groups have abandoned science and replaced it with dogma. Look for me on Youtube and Instagram or join the discussion on Facebook.
