Kyle and Chad and Steve go for it with this mind-bending conversation about how memory actually works. Brainwashing and the Mandela effect: did you know Mickey Mouse doesn't wear suspenders? The big theme is simple but kind of unsettling. Our memories are way less reliable than we think, so a little skepticism goes a long way.
Plus Kyle finds all the props!

This week, Steve Sparks et al. ask what is science? And why does it keep changing its mind??
We bounce from ancient theories (shoutout to the guys who were confidently wrong) to modern science, where being wrong is actually acceptable as long as you can prove it. Disprovability! It’s not just a big word, it’s a lifestyle.
We get into why some people trust science, why some people definitely don’t, and how objective data is supposed to keep us all from just vibing our way through reality. We also wander into subjective vs. objective measurement, mental health, neuroscience, and a few moments where it feels like we almost understand what’s going on.
Basically: science is always evolving, old ideas die (RIP), and skepticism is your friend as long as you’re not being weird about it.
If you’ve ever wondered how we went from Aristotle to whatever’s happening now… this one’s for you.

The Doc and crew are all together in Tampa, FL! Talking strange but true scientific facts live from Angry Chair Brewing company, we spent our time sampling great bear and asking the big questions like "Just how many miles long are all of my arteries?" and "Was Pluribus really that great?"
It was a fun time getting everyone in the same room. Some internet issues at the end of the recording killed one of our videos but we hope you enjoy the conversation. 
As always, send any topics or ideas to thedocanalyzesanything@gmail.com .
