Episode 55: Dr. Michael Shermer "Giving The Devil His Due"
Manage episode 260867141 series 2535300
Welcome to episode 55!
Today's guest is the founding publisher of Skeptic Magazine and NYT best-selling author, Dr. Michael Shermer.
Dr. Shermer and I discussed his new book, Giving The Devil HIs Due.
Some salient talking points:
- Free Speech-- why it is the most precious right and why it must be upheld always.
- Schenck v. United States supreme court case (famous for the "shouting fire in a crowded theater" analogy for limiting speech)
- Rappaport's rules for engagement and it behooves us to follow them (i.e. the entire essence of "The Social Exchange")
- The appropriate relationship between religion and science
- Michael's devils of the past (people he's debated) including:
*Jordan Peterson (and his rise to fame) - - - *David Irving (Holocaust Denier)- - - *Graham Hancock (writer, journalist, and self-proclaimed "alternative archaeologist)
- My debate with Peter Hitchens and how it -- despite being painful-- changed my way of thinking about conversations in general
And much more!
Please enjoy episode 55 with Dr. Michael Shermer.
