TIM 4: Liam Scheff and "Official Stories" [ 59 min 36 s | 13.64 MB ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (486)David Crowe interviews Liam Scheff about what this journalist and author calls “Official Stories.”
Liam’s 2012 book, Official Stories: Counter-Arguments for a Culture in Need, states: “Official stories exist to protect officials.” Liam is a critic of many myths of modern society, seeing science as a force that promotes myths with the fervor of a religion. Liam also talks about the Incarnation Children’s Center orphanage scandal in New York City, a story that Liam broke 10 years ago, in which the city used poor foster children as “guinea pigs” in highly profitable pharmaceutical AIDS drug trials.
The conversation ranges from the incomprehensibly enormous time and space of the universe to questions of the incomprehensible smallness of viruses.
