Steven Pinker Discusses Rationality and Humanist Values

Published: July 7, 2022, 10:29 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 4 minutes 35 seconds

This special episode of Point of Inquiry is brought to you by our friends at CFI Canada from their new podcast, Podcast for Inquiry. They recently spoke with author Steven Pinker and we wanted to make this special conversation available to everyone.

Even as a young teenager, Dr. Steven Pinker (@sapinker) prized rationality as a virtue, and considered himself an anarchist. He changed that belief, however, when evidence indicated that anarchy was not a path to human flourishing. In this special episode, a co-production with the\\xa0New Enlightenment Project, previous Podcast for Inquiry guest Lloyd Hawkeye Robertson returns as a co-host. Together, Lloyd and Leslie explore with Dr. Pinker whether universities are betraying their mission, how the human brain spectacularly fails while also working wonders, the loose connections between science and technology with social and moral progress, and what humanity needs to do to continue to thrive for the next 50 to 100 years.

Duration: 49 minutes 34 seconds

In this week\'s episode, we are diving into the flat-earth conspiracy theory and why people could believe such a thing with guest Kelly Weill and her new book,\\xa0Off the Edge.

In 2019 Jim Underdown and the\\xa0CFI Investigations Group produced a video\\xa0where they designed a series of experiments to show that the earth is indeed not flat. CFIIG\'s conducted their experiment in front of over a dozen flat-earthers. Even in the face of conflicting evidence to their own beliefs, the flat-earthers held firm in their claims.

Underdown and Weill speak about her new book, the history of the flat-earth conspiracy dating back to the 1830s, and the desire to belong to a community, which Weill saw as a reason some flat-earthers join the movement. Also, the role media and emerging technologies play in helping conspiracists spread their messages.

Living on Life's Edge | Carl Zimmer on The Search for What It Means to Be Alive

Published: Dec. 22, 2021, 11 a.m.
Duration: 59 minutes 27 seconds

What does it mean to be alive? Does life have a clear definition? On this week\'s episode, Carl Zimmer joins host Jim Underdown to discuss his new book,\\xa0Life\'s Edge: The Search for What It Means to Be Alive\\xa0to help answer those questions.

Can we clearly define what it means to be alive? Scientists have been struggling with this question for centuries. For every rule or idea that\'s brought to the table, it seems a new species of plant or animal comes along that turns the whole thing on its head. For example, tardigrades, everyone\'s favorite microorganisms, are able to put themselves into a kind of suspended animation that stops their metabolization. Are they alive or dead at that point?

Zimmer speaks about tardigrades and their special cryptobiosis, the intelligence of slime molds, and where viruses fit in the question of life.

Carl Zimmer\\xa0is an award-winning\\xa0New York Times\\xa0columnist and the author of fourteen books about science. His newest book is\\xa0Life\\u2019s Edge: The Search for What It Means to Be Alive\\xa0 (hardcover,\\xa0Kindle, or\\xa0audio.)\\xa0You can find Zimmer on twitter\\xa0@carlzimmer.

False Memories Creating False Criminals, with Dr. Julia Shaw

Duration: 36 minutes 36 seconds

\\n

This week on\\xa0Point of Inquiry, Lindsay Beyerstein talks to Dr. Julia Shaw, a forensic psychology lecturer and false memory researcher. Dr. Shaw recently conducted a study in which she found that 70 percent of college-age students were convinced that they had committed a crime that never actually took place. By mixing actual facts with misinformation, in as little as 3 hours of friendly conversation, students not only admitted to committing these fictional crimes, they went as far as to recall details of their manufactured experience. Shaw suggests that these results have alarming implications for the way we conduct criminal investigations. It seems as though our own imaginations may be working against us more than we ever thought possible.
