Mises Institute Fellow Jonathan Newman, author of the article “Neil Ty, the Scientism Guy”, joins Jeff to discuss the recent March for Science—and how politicized pseudoscience peddled by the likes of Bill Nye silences debate and drives dubious public policy.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

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.
