Episode 90
Friday, 9 January, 2026
This week's episode is a story of science, politics, and ignorance with Dr. Richard Kaczynski. Richard is a psychologist, Thelemite, and author of the book "Mind Over Magick." Richard and I muse over topics as far afield as the human penchant to fill in where there are no blanks, why humans choose ignorance over science, and what "Ghostbusters" can teach about statistics.REFERENCES:Richard Kaczynski’s Website: https://richard-kaczynski.com/Follow Richard on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/richardkaczynski.bsky.socialLearn more about Richard’s book “Mind Over Magick”: https://www.innertraditions.com/mind-over-magick(00:00) - Opening credits (00:37) - Show opening (01:28) - Introducing Richard Kaczynski (02:42) - Just a typical magical childhood (08:44) - Awkward pop culture references (10:26) - Filling in where there are no blanks (15:41) - Open or closed to magick, it still happens (22:41) - We have no idea (27:17) - Throwing out what we don't understand (31:01) - Why do we choose ignorance?
