Energy vs Everything | Doomberg
2d ago01:09:47Tap to summarizeWhy nobody is talking about the one thing everything depends upon. Peter Boghossian puts that question to Doomberg, the famous anonymous analyst who appears as a green chicken. He's built an extraordinary following by being honest about what the establishment won't. They cover the US dollar, the AI arms race, the Iran war, the renewables fantasy, and end on a question Doomberg is turning into a book: How do you find the truth when everything looks like propaganda?

It replaces it. Viral Clip 1: https://tinyurl.com/nf283vsm Viral Clip 2: https://tinyurl.com/6msnnb5e Click for more Peter Boghossian.

Drug Treatments Medicine Feared & Trump Unlocked | Dr. Drew
3w ago00:49:58Tap to summarizePeter Boghossian presses Dr. Drew on the treatments medicine won't touch, including ibogaine for opioid addiction, peptides, GLP-1 risks, and hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Drew doesn't hedge. What emerges is an argument for evidence-based medicine in an era of regulatory timidity, and with Trump's executive order on psychedelics, that conversation just became more urgent. The discussion ends where it should, not with longevity hacks, but with the question of what makes a life worth living. For more Dr. Drew Website Follow Peter Boghossin for more.

Reason vs. Altruism: The Battle for Moral Truth | Craig Biddle
4w ago01:08:59Tap to summarizeCraig Biddle makes the case that Objectivism is not simply Ayn Rand's philosophy but the only philosophically defensible foundation for individual rights, reason, and a free society. Peter Boghossian pushes back, probing the epistemological claims, the treatment of altruism, and whether a closed system can survive genuine philosophical scrutiny. What emerges is a collision between a defender of a complete moral framework and a skeptic who refuses to let any idea off the hook. If you think philosophy is abstract, this conversation will change your mind. More From Craig Biddle YouTube Twitter Website Follow Peter Boghossian for more.

Hard Science vs Hollywood: What Project Hail Mary Gets Right | Reid Nicewonder & Brett Hall
4w ago00:58:21Tap to summarizeProject Hail Mary is rare: A science fiction film that refuses to talk down to its audience, built on hard physics, curiosity, and two characters solving problems through reason rather than force. Peter Boghossian, Reid Nicewonder, and Brett Hall dig into what the film gets right about how knowledge is actually created, why scientific progress may require open societies, and what it would mean to encounter a civilization that evolved entirely different physics. The film's quiet optimism turns out to be its most radical feature. More From Brett Hall Twitter: @ToKTeacher YT: @bretthall9080 Follow Peter Boghossian for more.
