Short and sweet and maybe of interest to some. I can't remember what I said, but this is the blurb:

"In this episode, Professor Paul Dolan talks to anthropologist Dr. Chris Kavanagh about secular gurus, how online platforms have amplified their influence, and how easily confidence can be mistaken for knowledge."

I will listen. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds good. “How easily his confidence was mistaken for knowledge”, sounds like a great future tombstone quote for JBP. In this way, Jordan, and others continue on their path to inspire women who have chosen to approach life with the confidence of a mediocre white man

Looking forward to listening to this. I spoke to Paul last year about betting (my area of expertise).

Damien

Great stuff. @ Gearóid, I'll give that a listen.

Thomas Mack

Great podcast! I learned quite a bit about the motivations behind DTG from this. I feel I got blindsided twice, by the questions about covid and Coldplay 😂

Confused re how epidemiologists are not qualified to comment on public health policy like school closures.

Drew

This was brilliant. I’ve been waiting for something like this to send to people to help me explain what DTG is about whenever I recommend the podcast.

Jazzy

Did I hear correctly that Chris referred to Coldplay as ‘emo’?

Don Schaffner

Chris is short and sweet? Both seem untrue.

Dipsies Ed

Not your fault Chris but the premise of this podcast is the host seeking out people he disagrees with, and it finished with me having absolutely no idea what it was he disagreed with you about
