TheESP – Ep. #422 – Surrounded by lies

Download


A bit of a correction first, regarding earthquakes. Then we get some Vatican news with speculation about a Swedish ‘papabile’, plus idiotic statements about genders. In TWISH we hear about Paolo Frisi, an Italian seminary dropout who in the 18th century went on to become a polymath. Then we have a look at the news:

  • EUROPE: Whooping cough on the rise – due to covid
  • BELGIUM: Alternative medicine and god hindering willingness to vaccinate?
  • FRANCE: Didier Raoult and his unethical research

Long time charlatan Thomas Erikson finally gets his dues when he receives a Really Wrong Award as his latest book on nonsense personality types is published.

Enjoy!

Educated guesswork’ is what science is. You form hypotheses, test them against the evidence, and if they fit the evidence, you can assume you’ve got close to the truth.
