Shownotes Transcript

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to “Into the Impossible” author Dr. Brian Keating about the dangers of treating science as a religion, how we became slaves to phrases like “follow the science,” and why imposter syndrome has plagued many Nobel Prize winners. Brian discusses why rigorous data gathering and the questioning of “experts” is vital to scientific progress. Brian also shares the discoveries of Nobel Prize winner Sheldon Lee Glashow and why you should be skeptical of anything about which 99% of scientists are in agreement. He explains how John C.
