Who Owns the Truth? - Dr. Michael Shermer, Skeptic Magazine - DSci 177

Michael Brant Shermer is an American science writer, historian of
science, executive director of The Skeptics Society, and founding
publisher of Skeptic magazine, a publication focuses on
investigating pseudoscientific and supernatural claims. We
discuss the limitations of certainty in science, the pitfalls of
reliance upon consensus, and the benefits and dangers of
supernatural beliefs, and the association of science with
state-crafting. Support both us when you pick up on of Michael's
