Michael Shermer is the founding publisher of Skeptic magazine, host of The Michael Shermer Show and author of Truth and Conspiracy. He joins Peter to ask whether we are really living in a post-truth world and how we can distinguish genuine conspiracies from stories that stretch a small element of truth far beyond the evidence.Michael explains why real conspiracies such as MKUltra and COINTELPRO make institutional distrust harder to dismiss, how political beliefs become tribal packages and why technology may be making the search for truth both easier and more exhausting. They discuss media bias, AI fact-checking, Covid, immigration, climate change, free markets, religion and the point at which people begin acting on unsupported beliefs.They also explore the stranger questions: simulation theory, DMT, UFOs, unexplained coincidences and the broken radio that suddenly began playing during Michael’s wedding. Michael argues that scepticism should not mean dismissing everything, it should mean demanding evidence while remaining humble enough to admit that some mysteries are still unresolved.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:58 - Are We in a War on Truth?00:05:37 - Truth Versus Political Preference00:08:52 - Which Conspiracies Are Real?00:13:06 - Did Technology Break the News?00:16:24 - Can AI Help Us Find the Truth?00:19:15 - Fact-Checking Politicians With AI00:22:06 - Why Political Beliefs Come as a Package00:28:23 - Why People Believe Weird Things00:35:18 - Science, Religion and the Need for Meaning00:42:03 - Are We Living in a Simulation?00:49:18 - DMT, Lasers and Hidden Code00:51:26 - The Radio Michael Cannot Explain00:54:42 - Why UFO Belief Resembles Religion00:59:02 - Should We Fear Artificial Intelligence?01:02:01 - Britain, Immigration and Shared Truth01:12:22 - Climate Change, Consensus and the Media01:22:18 - The UAP Cases Shermer Cannot Explain01:25:04 - What Will Future Generations Think of Us?- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – https://www.petermccormack.com/› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH MICHAEL SHERMER› Website – https://michaelshermer.com/› Michael’s Books – https://michaelshermer.com/books/› The Michael Shermer Show – https://www.skeptic.com/michael-shermer-show/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/michaelshermerSPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Arch Public – https://archpublic.com/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts – https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify – https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain – https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube – https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble – https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.
