The Infectious Myth - Science is not what you think, with Henry Bauer - 09.12.17

Henry Bauer is back with a new book, “Science Is Not What You Think”. In episode 154 we have a credentialed scientist, a PhD chemist, who is highly critical of what science has become, essentially a new religion. Scientific consensus is anathema to him. Bauer recognizes that progress comes when an individual scientist breaks with the consensus. Even if 97% of climate scientists belief in catastrophic human-caused global warming (which is debatable) it wouldn’t make it true. The modern day institution of science, will stop at nothing to enforce orthodoxy, including cutting off funding, removing people from jobs, and blocking publication opportunities.
