Episode Description

We are still fascinated by the on-going planetary alignment and this week is an even better opportunity to watch it. And if it’s cloudy and a Thursday, go back inside and join the SITP Online virtual pub, it’s highly recommended!

In TWISH we hear about Émile Coué who popularized autosuggestion which in a way paved the way for all self-help books that we are still riddled with today. Then of course, we have the news:

NORWAY: Heat record blown away in northern Norway
GERMANY: Election results
AUSTRIA / SWITZERLAND: Shaman on the run
INTERNATIONAL / WALES: Trust in politics on the decline
EU: The European economy needs immigration – that’s science!
INTERNATIONAL: Nominations for the John Maddox Prize now open

The Really Wrong award goes to education in general in the EU – lots of people are still creationists and believe that early humans lived along dinosaurs…

Enjoy!
