Welcome back! In this episode, we dive deep into Rupert Sheldrake’s controversial TED Talk, The Science Delusion, where he exposes the ten dogmas that underlie modern science. These dogmas—like the idea that nature operates mechanically, that the mind is just an illusion, and that free will doesn’t exist—shape how we approach everything from health to spirituality, often stifling true progress and innovation.

We explore how the “worship of authority” in modern science mirrors the religious dogma people seek to escape, transitioning from "big sky daddy" to the worship of state institutions like the CDC and FDA. This blind faith in authority, aided by corporate interests, feeds a new form of scientism, limiting the openness needed for intellectual humility.

But it doesn’t stop there—we also touch on the flaws in germ theory, clinical trials, and the overreliance on one-size-fits-all approaches in fitness, nutrition, and spirituality. By questioning the assumptions that limit us, we open up the possibility for a more holistic, personalized approach to health and well-being.

Tune in for:

-A breakdown of Sheldrake’s ten dogmas and their impact

-The rise of scientism and its parallels to religious dogma
-The conflict of interest between corporate interests and public health

-Why questioning established truths is key to avoiding the nihilism of modern materialism
-How expanding our views on fitness, nutrition, and spirituality can foster better outcomes
-The call to move beyond rigid dogma and embrace intellectual curiosity for a more inclusive future 🌍
