The Sweet Science ft Olly Thorn

The team sits down with Olly Thorn, AKA Philosophy Tube, to talk about scientism... which is the ideology by which the world's most pareto optimised stupid/confident jackasses blithely claim to understand the entire world by just using a calculator and making some shit up. It's at the root of phrenology, both classic and modern, the tedious gender politics of the anti-trans lobby, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Enjoy!
