A science that explains and guides action

Something broke in the foundations of how we think, and the cracks have been spreading ever since through Western culture, politics, creating a fraying sense of what is real. In this live conversation recorded in Austin, Texas, we sit down with James Ellias of @Inductica to trace the damage back to its source: the moment physics abandoned explanation for mysticism and handed civilization a permission slip for unreality. We move through Kant and Newton, through positivism and quantum superstition, through the collapse of the hero and the rise of the conspiracy, searching always for the thread that leads back out. Have you, too, felt the ground shifting beneath the stories we tell ourselves?
