Tonight mostly I’m going to entertain you with the philosophy of belief and awareness, with some help from my old friend Alan Watts. I’ll have music and an interview with Grateful Dead percussionist and drummer Micky Hart – the band’s only person born on the East Coast, and the only Virgo.
Tonight’s program covers scientific ethics from several angles. I will look at the issue of the precautionary principle. What do you do when working with limited information? Who gets the benefit of the doubt? I will discuss the idea of informed consent. I have coverage of this week’s FDA approval of a Covid “vaccine” that we understand is not actually available in the United States. Was this even legal?
Here is a stand-alone edition of my interview with Mark Crispin Miller conducted on July 16, 2021. Mark is the professor of film and communications at New York University who caused a stir by encouraging his students to read for themselves whether wearing a mask can prevent a virus.
Your actions do nothing to enable informed consent and instead ostracize and stigmatize those who raise legitimate concerns. You are colluding with other powerful entities to effectively silence valuable dissenting voices, to the detriment of your viewers. Isn’t it the responsibility of a free press to fully investigate and speak truth to power?
