This episode does some exploring mostly through the lens of a few noteable outspoken commentators: a philosopher, writer, and a psychologist, on what makes Scientism very different from science, and very dangerous when it exists without being called out or discerned as a fundamentalist worldview. Scientism can be viewed as a secular religion, running on blind faith, heralded through a select class of 'experts' that now overflows in to government and corporate statism.
