This is some audio I recorded this morning trying to follow up on the subject I brought up near the end of my last “audio blog”. It relates to overconfidence about scientific pronouncements and so on both by the experts and by those who think they know the “real” motivations of the experts, particularly relating to the issues in the pandemic and so on. It was triggered by a snippet of a conversation between Bill Maher and Seth MacFarlane, but I’m not sure where to find the original snippet.
As you will note, I did NOT make it shorter than my last audio.
[There is an interruption in the middle–presaged and followed by three chirps–in which I say what I had meant to say upon bringing up a particular subject, but then distracted myself completely by discussing some excellent YouTube channels about science and math.]
Here are some links to the YouTube channels I mentioned (along with one or two I did not) and which distracted me. I heartily endorse them:
