My guest this week is Dr Keith Andrew Meyers. We talk about two of his research interests, the economic consequences of atmospheric nuclear testing conducted in the Nevada desert during the 1950s, and the socioeconomic effects of the Salk polio vaccine. We later digressed into the nature of conspiracy theories, morality, and the phenomena of epistemological decline.
