Physicist James Ellias (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRUATK39-y_dSwmN59_-aNQ) joins us this week to debate: is quantum mechanics proof that reality is subjective? This was an excellent debate that's grounded enough to avoid psuedo-scientific bullshit while simultaneously scratching your philosophical and scientific itch. That's what I do every time anyone interacts with me, as I am both a supreme philosopher and a supreme scientist. Watch the video version here at Madcast Media Network YouTube channel:

Rucka (https://www.youtube.com/user/itsRucka) and James are both objectivists, which means that you'll hear a lot of exasperated sighs from both sides of the debate. Mikey Bolts (https://www.youtube.com/user/michaelbalalis) couldn't make it this week due to explosive diarrhea. Last week's guest, Alan Denton (https://twitter.com/AlanTheWriter) calls in to gloat about his win, and Jesse P-S (https://madcastmedia.com/shows/cringevscringe/) calls in to shit on podcasts in general.

Finally we round out the episode with a story that makes my dick shrivel with anger: 6-year-olds dabbing. Plus a fake ballistic missile warning for Hawaii. Plus some alt-right idiots trying to arrest the mayor of London "non-violently." Did you know non-violent also means peaceful? Huh!
