Listen "Ep.19 B is for the Boys (And Girls) Who Cried Wolf and The Lab Leak Hypothesis (And Why My 2020 Mantra Still Works)"
Episode Synopsis
Topics include:
Clip 1. Aesop’s Fable of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf;” who the boy is in the lab leak hypothesis media story; a dictionary definition of hypothesis and theory; should we really trust fact-checkers and social media outlets to decide what the truth is?; why the Founders were so smart to make Freedom of the Press an essential right; why the argument that Facebook and other social media companies aren’t governments so they can’t censor doesn’t make sense for the times we live in: why such arguments are similar to right-wing arguments using the Founders perspective to argue for the right to own crazy-ass guns; why the politicization of the Coronavirus crisis has been so costly; how advocacy journalism in the Trump era created the conditions to get the lab leak hypothesis story wrong; why media outlets are losing credibility; my 2020 mantra and why it’s an effective antidote to these times; the certainty is arising from the fear; why have progressives rehabilitated the “boys who cried wolf” over WMDs 20 years ago?; why that experience 20 years ago raised my suspicions this time; maybe the solution isn’t more censorship, but less crying wolf by the media.
Clip 2.: Heather Heying’s useful frame for understanding how we limit discussions such as racism and Covid-19; Bret and Heather discuss the danger of the virus of fear; “fear enhances our ability to see things in a binary way”
Clip 3.: Using the cycles of the seasons as a frame o understand why we should do our best to be asking questions as though we are a child, rather than standing on the top of Mt. Self Righteous shouting “The Truth;” the evolutionary astrological lens of the cycle of the nodes of the moon and why it can help us survive the Information War; “intellectual authoritarianism" and more!
