Randall Bock discusses the prevalence of misinformation and hierarchical biases in the scientific community, using examples like COVID-19, Zika, and peer review's limitations. He argues that current systems encourage conformity and lack rigorous validation, proposing a new model where scientific claims are evaluated similar to sports, incorporating transparency, prediction markets, and replication bounties. Bock emphasizes the need for open inquiry and structural changes to prevent entrenched scientific gatekeeping and improve overall research quality.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction01:03 Critique of Dr. Fauci and Peter Hotez01:44 The Dual Nature of Science02:37 Science and Sports Analogies05:07 The Role of Peer Review in Science05:37 Zika and Misinformation08:20 Scientific Guilds and Their Impact12:26 Proposed Solutions for Scientific Integrity22:43 Historical Examples and Peer Review Critique27:43 Climate Science and Publication Challenges28:57 Payola and Scientific Authority30:21 Peter Hotez and Anti-Science Critique31:14 Fauci 1.0 vs. Fauci 2.032:10 The Soviet Influence on Science33:31 The Tenure Trap in Academia35:23 The Guild System in Science36:07 The Problem with Peer Review40:59 Proposing a New Scientific Framework42:26 The Role of Reputation in Science47:41 Challenges and Solutions in Open Science49:07 Final Thoughts and Future DirectionsPeer Review Is a Guild: https://substack.com/home/post/p-180649436How to Fix Science: https://dailysceptic.org/2025/12/12/how-to-fix-science/The Hidden Cost of Mental Health Parity: https://brownstone.org/articles/the-hidden-cost-of-mental-health-parity/

Ian Plimer discusses the impact of climate and energy policies in Australia, contrasts it with other countries, and expresses disappointment over current government measures. Plimer shares his experiences from international travels, such as attending Trump's inauguration and conducting geological fieldwork in Saudi Arabia, and introduces his new book ‘Sceptical Always', which compiles various essays on his life experiences and views on climate change science. He also delves into topics like historical sea level changes, life on Mars, and the potential dangers of supervolcanoes, advocating for a more data-driven approach to climate science.00:00 Introduction and Current Affairs01:37 Reflections on Recent Travels03:06 Discussing the New Book05:58 Climate Change and Geological Perspectives09:01 Sea Level Rise and Coral Reefs13:56 Historical Climate Trends18:57 Dinosaurs and Ancient Climates23:14 Volcanic Activity and Climate25:52 Undersea Volcanoes and Their Impact28:55 Super Volcanoes and Their Effects31:27 Impact of Super Volcanoes32:13 Historical Volcanic Eruptions33:47 Volcanic Hazards and Human Safety35:16 Global Food Security and Volcanic Eruptions36:15 Air Travel and Volcanic Ash38:14 Carrington Events and Their Impact40:07 Gravitational Effects of Mountains50:18 Life on Mars: Evidence and Theories55:39 Understanding the Atom57:26 The State of Modern Academia01:00:42 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSceptical Always: A View at Three Quarter Time: https://a.co/d/bYVwMNF========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

John Droz, an independent physicist with over 40 years of experience in state and national issues, discusses the severe deficiencies in the K-12 education system, particularly the infiltration of left-leaning propaganda and the suppression of critical thinking. He highlights the adoption of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) by 49 states, which he argues undermine the traditional scientific method and promote conformity. Droz proposes a solution involving the formal teaching of critical thinking in K-12 education and a reformation of the Federal Department of Education to serve an advisory role rather than a regulatory one.00:00 Introduction and Guest Background02:07 Critical Thinking and Its Importance07:18 Differences Between Left and Right30:47 Focus on Science Curriculum37:53 The Role of State Boards in Education42:48 The Origins of Common Core43:22 Introduction of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)45:28 Critique of NGSS and the Scientific Method50:56 The Push Against Critical Thinking53:17 Adoption of NGSS by States57:23 The Need for Critical Thinking in Education01:04:07 Efforts to Implement Critical Thinking Standards01:13:53 The Role of Federal and State Education Departments01:20:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughtshttp://wiseenergy.org/https://election-integrity.info/https://c19science.info/https://criticallythinking.substack.com/John’s email: [email protected]=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Ahmad Ammous, a physician with alternative views, discusses his realizations about the corruption within the medical system driven by the pharmaceutical industry and its impacts on patient care. He emphasizes the importance of diet, light exposure, and lifestyle changes over pharmaceuticals, and highlights issues with modern psychiatry, cholesterol myths, and the detrimental effects of artificial light and electromagnetic frequencies. Ahmad advocates for a return to natural healing practices and encourages individuals to take control of their health through informed choices.00:00 Introduction to Ahmad Ammous02:26 The Rise of the American Medical Association06:11 Discovering the Paleo Diet07:19 The Ideal Human Diet10:37 The Cholesterol and Heart Disease Myth20:05 The Healing Power of Light27:00 The Dangers of Blue Light31:40 Electromagnetic Frequencies and Health35:08 Mitigating EMF Exposure38:27 The Truth About Modern Psychiatry42:02 Winter Sunlight and Indoor Lighting45:19 The Benefits of Animal Fat46:01 Exercise and Fasting Tips48:12 Gut Health and Bacteria51:26 Alcohol and Soda: The Real Impact54:16 Grounding and 5G Concerns56:42 Final Thoughts and Advicehttps://x.com/AmmousMDhttps://ammousmd.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summarieshttps://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Bob Greenyer discusses his 13-year journey as a researcher in the field of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, emphasizing the importance of finding a sustainable energy source beyond traditional methods like solar and wind. He elaborates on the scientific complexities and innovations behind coherent energy transformations, referencing various experiments and historical figures in the field, and proposes that advancements in this technology could lead to unlimited energy and revolutionary propulsion systems. Greenyer also critiques the current understanding of atomic models and reveals classified information regarding the potential of these new energy sources.00:00 Introduction to Bob Greenyer45:25 Introduction to Proton Magnetic Moments45:55 Gravitational Collapse and Hydrogen Neutralization46:28 Electrodynamics and the Aronoff Bomb Effect47:34 Creating Coherent Matter Waves49:02 Fractal Magneto Hydrodynamic Structures50:48 Ball Lightning and Element Synthesis54:39 Cavitation and Vortex Structures56:41 Replication and Experimental Evidence01:01:49 The Role of Relic Neutrinos and Dark Matter01:14:54 Magneto Hydrodynamic Structures in Ancient Knowledge01:18:31 Introduction to Helical Braid and Coherent Matter Structures01:19:15 Exploring Coherent Matter Wave Beams01:19:26 John Hutchinson's Metal Manipulation01:19:47 Wheel Within Wheel Structures01:20:24 Plasma Experiments and Ball Lightning01:21:49 Tesla's Warden Cliff Tower and Great Pyramid of Egypt01:23:59 Propulsion Systems and Unlimited Energy01:26:33 Magnetic Fields and Space-Time Metrics01:28:50 Fusion Energy and Ball Lightning01:31:45 Matsumoto's Archive and Restricted Information01:51:00 Conclusion and Future ProspectsAbout Bob: https://cosmicsummit.com/cosmic-summit-2025-bob-greenyer/https://remoteview.substack.com/Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project: http://www.quantumheat.org/index.php/en/https://x.com/quantumheat========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
