Dan Riskin: This Is Not A Simulation - November 15, 2025
Update: 2025-11-15
Description
It's The Science Appliance with bat biologist Dan Riskin – a Last Show podcast-only special! Dan and David chat about rare insults, a midwifery conference, and the Sleeping Beauty problem. After executing one of the best "radio teases" of his career, David explains the finer points of obscenity, indecency, and profanity to Dan. Even with all of that, the two find time to cover the following science news stories:
AI can't quite fake real people's rudeness – but David uses this as an excuse to just be plain rude;
Trigger warnings don't work according to research; and
Math proves that "No, we are not in a simulation".
