PODCAST: Tom Mellett on Arthur Young, Pseudoscience (or not), and the Cult of UFO Twitter
A wide-ranging discussion between two wide-ranging human beings
Tom Mellett is a retired high school teacher of math and physics who delights in trolling UFO Twitter and Facebook because their emotional maturity is at a 9th grade level (as he puts it). He is also a cat butler in Los Angeles. We got on the phone after my story "The New Intergalactic Cold War" caused a (quite brief) firestorm on Twitter last week, and fortunately I recorded the conversation, because it really is podcast gold.
On this episode of Failed State Update Podcast, Tom and I discuss the philosopher/engineer Arthur M. Young as well as parascyhologist (and frequent beneficiary of government contracts) Hal Puthoff and the very nature of knowledge itself. Be sure to follow Tom on Twitter, and be doubly sure to subscribe to this newsletter if you haven't yet. It's free, and it's fabulous.
