one of the best examples of this is the 1960s idea of population bomb that will lead to starvation

That academic idea led to western government literally destroying social order trying to lower birth rates ...

that can be traced back to all kinds of policies that led to exploding female labour participation, rise in house prices, urbanisation, etc https://rvs.su/sites/default/files/population_policy_-_will_current_programs_succeed.pdf

Great podcast! It’s great to see and hear the human behind Cremieux (I’m a fan).

Also, the litigation environment in the US is … unique. And most don’t understand the nature of tort law in the US and believe that outcomes align to “truths”. Litigation is about compelling narratives, drama, and emotions … not evidence.
