Up next on Way of the Renaissance
Man, learning how to view the world with healthy skepticism.
It’s also about engaging the world with an objective,
scientific mindset that is always skeptical of truth claims that
don’t pass rigorous intellectual muster.
Welcome to the Way the Renaissance Man
podcast.
This is a show about ideas, personal empowerment, and
celebrating the rational life. Our goal is to help each other
discover the tools needed to better focus our minds, integrate our
thoughts with actions, and live the lives we really want with your
host Jim Woods.
This season, I will continue speaking with many more interesting
Renaissance Men, and Women, who can help us identify, understand
and assimilate the key ingredients essential to constructing a life
well lived.
Who's On:
Today’s guest is Michael Shermer, our final
FreedomFest interview.
What's Discussed:
Helping the world see things from that perspective is
Michael Shermer, Founding Publisher of Skeptic
magazine, the host of the Science Salon Podcast,
and a Presidential Fellow at Chapman University
where he teaches Skepticism 101.
In addition to being the world’s point man in the battle to
cultivate healthy scientific skepticism, Michael also spent more
than a decade as a professional bicycle racer, which basically
vaults him directly into Renaissance Man
status.
In this episode, Michael tells us about how he created his
“non-traditional career” as a writer, publisher, and critical
thinking advocate. Jim and Michael also discuss the history of
science, the rise of postmodernist thinking, the current assault on
truth, the changing nature of politics, and the downside of using
labels to categorize people.
Jim has been a long-time admirer of Michael Shermer’s work,
and in this episode, you’ll discover why.
And now, here’s Jim’s conversation with Michael Shermer.
