Episode description
In a recent article published in Harper's magazine, Pepperdine professor Jason Blakely writes about the impact of scientism—the overextension of scientific authority. In this episode, we discuss his findings as well as the separation between hard science, social science, and political decision-making—and how conflating the three can (and did) damage public trust.
