Rationable helps you fact check your world. Here, I interview extraordinary scientists and personalities like Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, Dr Sumaiya Shaikh, Dr Paul Offit, Dr Shantanu Abhyankar, Susan Gerbic, Rob Palmer, Mark Edward, and even youtubers like @Vimoh, and @ScienceIsDope.
I also do deep-dives to understand the truth about ayurveda and homeopathy, diets like Keto, psychics and astrologers, and separate the fact from the scams, hoaxes and misinformation.

Im athiest and i don’t think Christians are dumb i think the belief is stupid but not the person them self i can get if you were born in that religion so you believe in that
22:11 Exactly this. People with preconceived biases and frameworks will argue in bad faith still by taking advantage of your humility even after hearing what you have to say because you said it in a non confrontational manner. Usually it does not challenge their beliefs by doing so because they weren't interested in understanding your point in the first place. Sometimes even if you are nice, the opposite side be it creationists or whatever will still get pissy and then resort to ad hoc strategies. Creationism as whole is a big meme which isn't to say people should be made fun of for wanting to believe it but I don't understand why its not treated in the same light as say UFOs or bigfoot or other modern day or old myths. Myths have an affect on culture, sure but when they begin to make people see individual scientists as working for a secret cabal of disinformation agents working strictly for the illuminati then it has progressed into schizo territory.
So if a person learn and mimimizes cognitive biases , does it mean he or she applying critical thinking? I still have no idea what critical thinking and how different or same is it to analytical thinking?
44:02 "in kerala everyone eats beef" Wrong. There's lots of hindus especially middleaged women and men who do dont eat. They just won't make noise like the north hindus on beef or the muslims on pork.

Homeopathy has been criticized a lot, but the most prevalent criticism comes from people who do not have the slightest idea of what it is; and their judgment is based on naivety. The new evidence-based approach to homeopathy, thanks to the discovery of the memory of water by Dr. Gerald H. Pollack of the University of Washington in Seattle, finally homeopaths can explain with evidence the mechanism of action of their drugs and why they use infinitesimal doses.
Have you guys read human provings in home opathy . Also do you know about potentization. I have seen a lot of patients gets cured where allopathic medicine failed to cure for years. But homeopathy cured that chronic disease in 2 months. It also never came back. Just because you failed doesn't mean it is false. I just completed BHMS, I have seen my teachers cure many patients over the years. Please be rational. Also a lot of disease is incurable in evidence based medicine. After 20-30 years all the antibiotics will stop being effective anyways. Also you need a good homeopathic doctor, as it is very hard to select medicine after doing individualization. So go to a good homeopathic doctor. also you guys saying mp3 homeopathy, hair transplant homeopathy, which is not homeopathy. It is created by some dumb a##. And you guys are moking homeopathy because of this. Please read core homeopathy and its principles. Then make content.
My personal experience with homeopathy is very positive. I had certain allergic reactions on my hands and face which was correctly diagnosed and cured by homeopathic doctor.
As a scientist I do believe refrigeration slows down the spoilage. But the only thing we need to make sure here is that the inside of the refrigerator and the food we keep is maintained in 4 degree. Don’t over stack and regularly service your refrigerator and if possible keep a physical thermometer to cross check. Often time the failure in the service part lead to a misconception that refrigeration is bad when it’s not.
I disagree with vimoh karm doesn't strip empathy. If someone is in bad condition karm never tell you not to be emphatic towards them it only tell you that it might be your bad deeds.
शायद तथाकथित उच्च वर्ग के लोगों के घर में नास्तिक मानसिकता बच्चों में उस प्वाइंट पर आने लगती है जब उनके घर परिवार के धार्मिक विश्वास, उनके आधारभूत मानवाधिकारों को नियंत्रित करने लगते हैं... जैसे - अंतर्जातीय प्रेम विवाह का मुद्दा हो | उससे पहले, बच्चों को जो खुद उतने धार्मिक प्रकार के नहीं होते तो भी उन्हें अपने उस परिवेश से समस्या नहीं होती और ना ही परिवार को | लेकिन फिर जब वो superiority complex जब बहुत हावी होने लगता है और उसकी वैधता को अपने धार्मिक विश्वास से सिद्ध करने का प्रयास करते हैं तो.... फिर तर्क का दौर शुरू होता है जो बहुत सराहा नहीं जाता धार्मिक लोगों के द्वारा |
I mean honestly believe in what you believe, and I believe in what I believe. Every person is different. Just because they believe in something, doesn’t mean they’re stupid.
People should be banned from opening podcast channel. Half an hour into the show I still don't know whether this person is For homeopathy or Against it. What a waste of time.
I have first had experience with this. When I first came out as atheist to my family they didn't consider it to me that big of a deal and our conversations mostly centered around the existence or karma and rebirth which we agreed to disagree upon. But recently we were having a conversation around a guru my dad used to follow and all I said was "Insan insaan hi hota hai, usse badhkar kuchh nahi hota", and that seemed to have angered him.
He spoke lot about beef, and subtly promoted it in the name of Carbon emission reduction. He have no opinion on Pork which is cheap and can feed lots of poor people with protein rich diet. Of course! the explanation will be some nice mumbo jumbo talk.
Ayurveda says Allopathy and homoeopathy are bad, Allopathy says Homoeopathy and Ayurveda are bad and Homoeopathy says we are the safest Ayurveda and Allopathy are bad and the war continues. We the patients are the sufferers as to what to believe and what not.
