[00:00:00] Alex Tsakiris: on this episode of Skeptiko, A show about being naive

[00:00:08] Clip: my father’s no different than any other powerful man. Any man who’s responsible for other people like a senator or president. Do you know how naive you sound? Why senators and presidents don’t have men killed?

[00:00:23] Clip: who’s being naive? Kay.

[00:00:25] Alex Tsakiris: and how to train yourself not to be.

[00:00:28] Jason Reza Jorjani: I have a very demanding meta philosophy, so ontology, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, and then politics. And it’s not enough for the concepts that you develop to cut across all of these domains.

[00:00:42] Jason Reza Jorjani: They have to also be somehow, Consistent with one another. I mean, your ethics and politics has to follow from your ontology and epistemology. , otherwise, you will have certain naive commitments that go unquestioned.

[00:00:58] Alex Tsakiris: That first clip was of course, from the Godfather. , and the second was from today’s guest, . , Dr. Jason Gianni. This was a real paradigm shattering interview for me as it kind of made me wonder what it would really be like to play the five D chess of geopolitics on the big board. I hope you enjoy it.

[00:01:20] Alex Tsakiris: Welcome to Skeptiko, where we explore controversial science and spirituality with leading researchers, thinkers, and their critics. I’m your host, Alex Tsakiris, and today we’re joined by somebody I’m really, really excited to have on the show.

[00:01:36] Alex Tsakiris: , Dr. Jason Reza Gianni is somebody I’ve known about for a long time. And it’s really just an oversight cuz I’ve wanted to speak to him for the longest time. And then Chester from Skeptiko said, Hey, you really gotta talk to this guy. And I’m like, darn it.

[00:01:52] Alex Tsakiris: You’re right. I so want to, so this is going to be fantastic. I’m so looking forward to this. Jason is just a brilliant intellectual, a brilliant philosopher, lauded by. You know, all the most respected people in our little corner of the world here in Skeptiko, , the likes of thinking aloud. Jeffrey Mishk, who’s been on the show, who’s kind of canceled, cultured me because of Pizza Gate, but that’s okay.

[00:02:25] Alex Tsakiris: We might even talk about how he cancel cultured Jason, , lauded by, Jeffrey Kreel been on the show many times and has become kind of this, , shining star inside of this, again, corner of the world, of the intersection of UFOs and parapsychology and alternative spirituality.

[00:02:45] Alex Tsakiris: But he’s Rice University. He’s very, very mainstream in that respect, but out there pushing the edge. So Jason was held in just the highest regard by these folks in many other intellectuals. You know, you’d have to read in, in his latest book, , Promethean Pirate, which is a fantastic read. You can find it on Amazon along with so many of his other, , amazing books.

[00:03:10] Alex Tsakiris: I’ll share the screen now for a second, Jason, just so we can go through and look at some of those books so again, we probably won’t have a chance to talk about a lot of these, but they’re amazing , .
