SFR 295: The Philosophy of Pseudoscience

July 27, 2014

–Police indicate that self-proclaimed UFO contactee Stan Romanek faked assault against himself in wake of child pornography charges.

–New Age nutter JZ Knight, famous for “channeling” 35,000 year old warrior spirit Ramtha, is suing her ex-students for leaking video of her drunken racist, anti-gay rant.

–Ken Ham says the work of NASA is basically pointless because any aliens we may find are going to Hell anyway.

–A new Rasmussen survey indicates that, yes, Americans really do believe a lot of crazy conspiracy theories.

–Would you have sex with a robot?  Poll indicates 1 in 5 would.


In Hour 2, scientist and professor of philosophy Massimo Pigliucci joins us to discuss the recently published “Philosophy of Pseudoscience” essay collection that he co-edited.  Along the way, our conversation covers the “demarcation problem,” how to better tell the difference between sound science and nonsense, and why this issue is as important as ever.
