Anish Koka and Michel Accad have a free-wheeling and fun conversation with Dr. Saurabh Jha on the philosophical question of “what is normal.” The conversation was prompted by an editorial by John Ioannidis who thinks that “Big Data” could help clinicians get a handle on the vexing problem of normal values. Anish, Michel, and Dr. Jha discuss the merits of that idea.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
