The Michael Shermer Show # 267
Shermer and Theroux discuss: how documentary films are made • religious fanaticism and why people believe • UFO cults, end-times sects, and cognitive dissonance • Scientology: religion or cult? • neo-Nazis and anti-Semitism • prisons, pornography, and prostitution • Jeffrey Epstein and Jimmy Savile • self-help movements and gurus • deception and self-deception • social proof and human conformity • are humans naturally rational, irrational, or both?
Louis Theroux is a genre-defining documentary filmmaker best known for his explorations of controversial and complex topics. Using a gentle questioning style and an informal approach, Louis has shone light on intriguing beliefs, behaviors, and institutions by getting to know the people at the heart of them - from the officers and inmates at San Quentin prison to the extreme believers of the Westboro Baptist Church; from male porn performers in California to young women with eating disorders in London.

Well i get small movies that play in my mind that foretell of peoples deaths. They're 100% accurate. And I hate them. But I can't stop them. I've been right next to 50 people who either got murdered or were the murderer and i sensed it at the time. Cause people are constant liars I've let them all get murdered or kill off the other person. I warned Benji Venuman a few times and he got spooked by it but ultimately didn't listen. He told his girlfriend though. I saw the car and I saw who was driving it and I know he's not supposed to be driving it so I pointed my fingers at him instantly and showed what was going to happen to him. I saw the car days later and instantly I pointed my fingers at him and pulled the trigger again. He was really unnerved by it. But he never bothered to stop the car and find out what I know. The next time I saw the car he waved hello to me. I waved back and as he was driving to the restaurant i pulled the trigger again at his back as he drove away from me. I imitated firing 2 shots into the back of him. He got shot in the back in that restaurant 2 weeks later.

@@dreyn7780 that's really interesting and sounds like it'd be highly traumatic, if true. The skeptical position (nor the OP) doesn't say the default position is to disbelieve any claim - that's 'cynicism'. Skepticism just requires that belief in any claim is supported by appropriate evidence.
@robertcross9047
@robertcross9047 2 года назад
Rationalism is illogical if you assume logic is a priori. Because this then collapses laws of logic on themselves, if logic can be arbitrarily true, then equally so untruth can be arbitrary as well. It collapses possibility for knowledge/epistemology, and therefore you reduce into absurdity and relativism. Only way to ground logic is transcendental appeal, and beyond that appeal in order to avoid an ad infinitum scenario is you appeal to a final self satiating self actualizing point in God. Therefore if you reject omnipotence, omnibenevolence, omniscience you reject the possibility of coherence itself. Therefore skepticism of God is illogical.

Jimmy Savile: Yes he did a mix of things, some good, a lot bad. But the good things were camouflage for the bad things. They enabled him to appear legitimate and get close to powerful people who could protect him. He is not the only one who used such a strategy. Clement Freud comes to mind. And curiously as far as I recall he shared an office with another politician, Cyril Smith, who also slipped below the radar while alive. So carefully consider the reasons why a bad person does good things.
@rsb8380
@rsb8380 Год назад
Yeah I didn’t really agree at all when Shermer was trying to say it’s acceptable to take a nuanced on view on Savile because he did good things too. He did these good things as a way of gaining an unprecedented level of access to children, and to shield himself from the potential of facing any justice in his lifetime. It’s really not comparable to Bill Clinton at all. But, I’ll leave that down to Shermer probably just not being fully clued up on Savile and the horrendous magnitude and depravity of his crimes (considering he mispronounced his surname after Louis already said it 😂).

The Self-Help Movement is aptly named. The gurus in it sure do walk the talk: They self-help themselves to other peoples' money. Very closely tied to the Get Rich Quick By Duping Other People Movement. One way they self-help themselves to riches is to write a self-help book. Of course if in such a book they illustrated how they met their own success (ie by writing a self-help book), they would give the game away. So that's the one self-help strategy that might actually work, but the very one they can't mention. If they did, it would become apparent that it is a recursive approach, like an MLM.

To me it is very simple and fundamental as a Citizen that all Police Services ARE REQUIRED TO - Use the Minimum Force Necessary to Secure a Situation - Then to Become Completely Responsible and Obligated to Protect the Welfare and Well Being of the Citizen that they have arrested. No confusion Here - That is Their Duty to Serve and Protect!!!

A nice balance between Shermer's professional analytic take and Theroux's wider experiential familiarity with the weird and run-of-the-mill world of human irrationality.

Why does Shermer insist on pronouncing surnames wrong? Savile and Theroux. It's Sav-el and Ther-roo not Sav-ille or Ther-row

Love his American accent, don't know if it's accurate or offensive, but he rarely seems to use it when he respects their views. :D

I've counted three different ones in the first half hour and they all sound very natural to me as a Canadian. He's a real Daniel Day-Therouxis with the accents. Hah bet you haven't heard that one before Louis you fffffuck!

Love Louis and though I've been unimpressed with Shermer thus far I thought he deserved another go. Dude couldn't even be bothered to learn how to pronounce Louis' surname though - didn't even pick up on it when he was butchering his book titles. Did he really think the pun was "throw the keyhole" or "gotta get throw this"? 😂

I don't think guilt re Savile, more a fear of being judged, in this life or the next.

I'll never forget the Louis Theroux documentary when he followed Sir Jimmy around. He stood and watched Saville , in the very busy Flying Pizza restaurant, grope a woman and her daughter right in front of his, other customers and a film crews eyes. Everyone watched. Most laughed. No one commented. Saville was a genius con man. Almost hypnotic. He knew the educated upper middle classes were the easiest people to have over.
