Gleb was involved in starting it. Bart signed up to it. Now, they’re both committed to it. What is the Pro-Truth Pledge? How do we separate fact from fiction? And why did a group of scientists come together at this moment in history to do this? Gleb joins Bart for this episode of the podcast to talk about it.

Gleb’s website is glebtsipursky.com. The nonprofit behind the pledge is at intentionalinsights.org. The Pro-Truth Pledge can be found at protruthpledge.org.

Bart’s son Roman joins him for this chat, recorded on Father’s Day, in which they contemplate the nature of ‘fathering’ and the attributes of an ideal father figure in someone’s life. What are the factors that make someone a good mentor? How can fathers establish a reality model for the person they’re mentoring but stretch to understand their world too? Is religion based on a father complex? To what extent did Bart’s own values stick with Roman, and what does Roman think now?

(Roman jumps back on the mic later for a bonus segment on Trump and the current state of the political drama in the United States, with an exchange of views about how much people should be engaged with it or care about the intricacies of what’s going on.)

Roman is a musician and songwriter living in Los Angeles.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
