    Drug Treatments Medicine Feared & Trump Unlocked | Dr. Drew

    21/04/2026 | 49 mins.
    Peter Boghossian presses Dr. Drew on the treatments medicine won't touch, including ibogaine for opioid addiction, peptides, GLP-1 risks, and hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Drew doesn't hedge. What emerges is an argument for evidence-based medicine in an era of regulatory timidity, and with Trump's executive order on psychedelics, that conversation just became more urgent. The discussion ends where it should, not with longevity hacks, but with the question of what makes a life worth living.

    Reason vs. Altruism: The Battle for Moral Truth | Craig Biddle

    18/04/2026 | 1h 8 mins.
    Craig Biddle makes the case that Objectivism is not simply Ayn Rand's philosophy but the only philosophically defensible foundation for individual rights, reason, and a free society. Peter Boghossian pushes back, probing the epistemological claims, the treatment of altruism, and whether a closed system can survive genuine philosophical scrutiny.
    What emerges is a collision between a defender of a complete moral framework and a skeptic who refuses to let any idea off the hook. If you think philosophy is abstract, this conversation will change your mind.

    Hard Science vs Hollywood: What Project Hail Mary Gets Right | Reid Nicewonder & Brett Hall

    18/04/2026 | 58 mins.
    Project Hail Mary is rare: A science fiction film that refuses to talk down to its audience, built on hard physics, curiosity, and two characters solving problems through reason rather than force. Peter Boghossian, Reid Nicewonder, and Brett Hall dig into what the film gets right about how knowledge is actually created, why scientific progress may require open societies, and what it would mean to encounter a civilization that evolved entirely different physics. The film's quiet optimism turns out to be its most radical feature.

    A Moral Duty to Eat Animals? | Nick Zangwill

    12/04/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
    Is eating animals a moral duty? Philosopher Nick Zangwill says yes, and the argument is more rigorous than you'd expect: Farm animals are created for a purpose, and failing to eat them is a failure to respect that purpose.
