Ep 1: Greg Glassman - If this doesn't look broken what would?

In this week’s episode, we’re sharing a talk given by BSI co-founder Greg Glassman in April 2023. Roughly 500 people gathered to hear about The Broken Science Initiative which was cohosted by Hillsdale College’s Academy for Science and Freedom and BSI.

 

Glassman explains, there are significant widespread issues within many areas of science, specifically within social sciences and medicine. In these areas, we are witnessing a shift towards pleasing gatekeepers and promoting industry interests. Glassman expresses his concern about the adverse impact this has had on medicine, as entire departments and fields have fallen victim to what he calls "epistemic debasement."

 

Glassman shares personal anecdotes from his childhood. Reflecting on his own educational trajectory, he talks about his father, Jeff Glassman, who was the head of research and development at Hughes Aircraft Company.

Thought provoking!

Let’s start with the truth. Totally agree and Yes, please! Loved the anecdotes but found it difficult to keep the terminology straight in my mind. Probably helps seeing visual aids during LIVE presentation. Will check the Broken Science website for more info.
