A proposito di questo titolo

 The Cult of Ignorance podcast explores the rise of anti-intellectualism, the decline of critical thinking, and the cultural forces that reward confidence over competence. Each episode blends storytelling, history, psychology, and social commentary to expose how misinformation spreads, how institutions fail us, and how we can resist the tide of willful ignorance.

From the Dunning-Kruger effect to conspiracy culture, from broken education systems to media manipulation—no topic is off-limits. If you're tired of shallow sound bites and hungry for deeper thinking, this podcast is your antidote.

  • The Myth of Equal Opinions

    The Myth of Equal Opinions
    Jul 8 2025
    Are all opinions truly equal? We've all heard the phrase, but what if it's a dangerous oversimplification? In this thought-provoking episode, we discuss the idea that while everyone is entitled to their opinion, not all opinions hold the same weight. Join us as we explore the crucial difference between informed perspectives and baseless assertions, the impact of misinformation, and how discerning between the two is more vital than ever in today's world. Tune in and challenge your assumptions – you might just change how you listen, and how you speak!"

    Jun 17 2025
    Let’s take a step back in time, to 1980, the year a man named Isaac Asimov issued a warning that most people ignored. Asimov wasn’t just a science fiction writer - he was a professor of biochemistry, a public intellectual, and a passionate advocate for science and reason.
