Listen • 29:59 This episode originally aired on December 9, 2020. Ever since the beginning of the modern concept of "science" there have been people who denied certain things despite evidence that they are true or factual. From evolution by natural selection to human-caused climate change, and more recently things like COVID-19 and mask effectiveness and vaccine safety, some people refuse to believe what scientists and researchers reach consensus on. We’re exploring why this happens, especially in our modern world, with Dr. Adrian Bardon, Professor of Philosophy and Scott Family Faculty Fellow at Wake Forest University. His current research focuses on the philosophy, psychology, and politics of ideological science denial. His latest book is “The Truth About Denial: Bias and Self-Deception in Science, Politics, and Religion.”

David Ake) As the media landscape has evolved over the past few decades along with the rise of the internet and social media the importance of fact-based, deeply researched investigative journalism has become increasingly clear. But, especially in recent years, the amount of misinformation and disinformation that’s flooding our news feeds has made some people unwilling to believe any news story they disagree with no matter how well documented the facts it contains are. On today’s show we’re continuing our series of conversations with speakers from the Naples Discussion Group’s 20-21 schedule by talking with professor Ted Bridis, he is Rob Hiaasen Lecturer in Investigative Reporting in the Department of Journalism at University of Florida. He’ll be presenting a virtual lecture on Friday, January 29 on the Importance of Investigative Journalism in Our Current Environment.
