Episode description

Lawrence M. Krauss is an American theoretical physicist who runs the Origins Project Foundation. He served on the science-policy committee for Barack Obama in 2008 and has taught at some of the most elite institutions in America.

In this conversation Tóti probes Lawrence about what are the greatest threats to science today. They speak about university culture, the impacts of woke thinking, the influence of politics, the dangers of speaking out, and much more. The second half of the conversation leads to the late, and dearly missed, Christopher Hitchens and what he might have thought about the current moment.
