🌌 Science in Perspective

Science in Perspective examines what research actually shows, not what headlines say it shows. Each episode starts from real work and asks what patterns remain when the hype is stripped away. The focus is on the organizing principles that recur across various domains of science, and on why those principles so rarely survive the journey from journal to public conversation.

  • AI Could Destroy the Gatekeepers
    2026/06/17

    Why do institutions rely on resumes, tests, degrees, and credentials?

    Because they need scalable ways to evaluate people. But these are often just proxies for the qualities they actually care about.

    In this episode, we explore gatekeeping, Goodhart's Law, credentialism, peer review, and the possibility that AI could help institutions assess people more directly, moving beyond cheap signals toward genuine capability.

    Topics include:

    Gatekeeping and proxies
    Goodhart's Law
    Education and hiring
    Peer review
    AI-assisted evaluation
    Logic, debate, and critical thinking

  • Are We Living in a Video Game? The Simulation Hypothesis Explained
    2026/06/12

    In this episode, I examine the Simulation Hypothesis; the idea that our reality may be a vast computer simulation. Drawing on arguments from quantum mechanics, video games, information theory, and even Eastern and Western religious traditions, I explore why some thinkers believe we may be living inside a simulated world. I then present a different perspective: that reality may not be a simulation at all, but rather a fundamentally computational process in its own right. Along the way, we discuss quantum indeterminacy, wave function collapse, entanglement, wormholes, digital physics, information theory, and the distinction between a computational universe and a simulated universe.

  • No, AI Isn’t About to “Solve All Disease”
    2026/06/05

    Can AI really "solve all disease"?

    AlphaFold and AI-driven drug discovery are remarkable achievements, but are we aiming at the right problem?

    In this episode, I argue that many of today's most devastating diseases are not isolated molecular failures but emergent system-level phenomena. Using the analogy of traffic jams, we explore why precision medicine puts AI on the wrong path, and why the future of AI in healthcare requires learning to steer biological systems, not its individual parts.
