Summary: In this episode, Mr Lens presents from a forest at the base of a fallen tree. It all starts with Schrödinger’s cat and goes into quantum ridiculousness as a satire on the barmy notions found in both the mainstream and alternative media. Subjects include the existence/non existence of God and the problems of dogma in all forms of fundamentalism including that of materialism as well as religion. Examples include Dawkins style science claiming to have disproven God’s existence, why Ramadan couldn’t be celebrated in Tromsø, Norway during summer Solstice because you’d starve to death, why Summer Solstice can’t be celebrated on the equator, and other examples of relativism which make the dogmatic absolutism of religions unworkable if said religions are exported to different parts of the Earth, how academic climate scientists and historians can’t talk to each other about climate change because they only stick to their specialist subjects, and many more things in a random tangent style.
