- Society & Culture
Our eyes can deceive us, and there’s no reason to believe that our minds are any less deceptive than our eyes.
Many of the things we take for granted are mere illusions.
But there is a solution: adding a meta layer to our thoughts.
Meta Quest is my crusade to spread meta-cognition and foster reason; while having fun and exploring mind-blowing topics.

Mushroom Trips in 1914 & 2010 | Similarities & Differences
Jason Padgett is the name of the man who suffered an injury and became a savant. You can visit his website here: https://jason-padgett.pixels.com/
My claims about Padgett’s neurological examinations may not be accurate. Although Padgett has been examined neurologically, I was unable to find references to the findings I referred to. It may relate to a separate case.

DR. JAMES FLYNN: SUBCULTURE AND INTELLIGENCE, forbidden science, reversal of the Flynn Effect
Jim Flynn (the Flynn Effect) and Asger Folmann discuss subculture and its link to intelligence, reversal of the Flynn Effect, scientific censorship, intelligence selection pressure, and more. Flynn also explains the trends that lead to his most recent book: A Book Too Risky to Publish, which was, ironically, abandoned by the (first) publisher. Charles Murray, Arthur Jensen, Thomas Sowell, and others, are mentioned.

What is Wrong With the World
In this episode, I seek to diagnose one of the major problems in the world right now: that our psychology can be used to manipulate us via social media. I suggest what to look out for, and present probabilistic thinking as the solution. I also conduct a small social experiment on the audience, and present a 6-step formula to gain power on social media.

Peter Boghossian | Impossible Conversations & Social Justice Gone Awry
Peter Boghossian and Asger Folmann talk about impossible conversations, and how the future of "soft"/social science may look. They also cover social justice warriors, and how several academic fields have become so ideology and agenda driven, that they almost resemble religions. What's the underlying issue, and are there any reasonable solutions?
