This is my favorite podcast. Eric has a personality that is very disagreeable. So he can be hard to listen too at times. He is probably hard to work with. I suspect a lot of his trouble in his scientific career stem from this. But his disagreeableness also what makes him a good dissenter. The world need people that will say what they believe to be true and important, even if everyone in the crowd don't want to hear it. The peer review discussion was interesting. Peer review sounds so good in theory. But it really just gate keeping. No wonder controversial or revolutionary ideas don't get through. Better is for some kind of system where peers can have their say after publication.
