He has written books on the persecution of scientific heretics by the Catholic Church, dishonesty in the contemporary media, the ancient roots of mathematical mysticism, the lost stories of Darwin’s discoveries, revised the history Einstein’s formulation of relativity, and a book on the history of negative numbers. We talk to him about the mythologies built up around scientists and their discoveries, superstition in physics, the death rattle of inquiry, and what comes after the institutions fail.

Harper has also served the Bush and Clinton administrations as director of the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, where he was tasked with allocating DOE funds to promising research projects. More recently, he was appointed senior director of the National Security Council office for emerging technologies by the Trump administration - an position that was cut short due to disagreements within the administration about Happer’s strong stance on the relationship between CO2 and climate. Namely, that there is not a strong relationship between CO2 and warming, and that mitigation strategies that are being rolled out around the world will do more harm than good. On the podcast we talk about science as a refuge from social conflict, leading DOE science policy in the nineties, the questionable success of the Ozone hole story, the future of energy, and the disaster of making the wrong moves.

Scott Turner is a physiologist who has contributed extensively to our understanding of collective intelligence through his work on the behavior of mound building termites. Early in his career he realized that the the textbook explanation for the mounds - that they contributed to temperature regulation of the underlying colony - were woefully incomplete. Through his work, Turner was able to demonstrate that the mounds were actually an integral part of the physiological success of the termites - rather than being a temperature regulating mechanism, the mounds acted as an external lung that was built and maintained by the colony for the express purposes of air filtration and circulation. Downstream of this realization, Turner developed a theory that suggests Darwinism alone - in context of survival of the fittest as the sole driver of the diversity of life - was an incomplete representation of the dynamics of life. We talk about the details of how to rewrite Darwin with a greater emphasis on epigenetics, collective intelligence, and the innate drive of purpose that is particular to life. (00:00:00)
