Episode 7: Navigating Complexity: Politics, Economics, and Culture with Dr. Gigi Foster In this episode of the Veriditas Podcast, Petra engages in an in-depth conversation with Gigi Foster, a Professor of Economics at the University of New South Wales and founder of Australians for Science and Freedom. They explore the distinguishing aspects of the current political and cultural moment, societal dissonance, and the impact of algorithm-driven realities. Dr. Foster reflects on her heterodox upbringing and its influence on her balanced perspective that values social welfare. The discussion navigates through her professional background, the importance of assessing policies like lockdowns through cost-benefit analysis, and the unintended consequences of such policies on the economy and society. They touch on the long-term psychological and economic effects of COVID-19 policies, and the rising inflation in post-pandemic times. Dr. Foster underscores the importance of open dialogue and institutional reform to rebuild society and prepare for future challenges. The episode also includes mentions of upcoming events and conferences aimed at fostering these essential conversations. 00:00 Introduction to the Veriditas Podcast 00:57 Guest Introduction and Background 02:02 Heterodox Thinking and Influences 04:43 Economics and Social Welfare 08:30 Political Perspectives and Leadership 12:43 Personal Background and Resilience 16:48 Life in Pittsburgh and Move to Australia 23:30 COVID-19 Policies and Economic Impact 33:01 Introduction to Co-Author and Research Background 33:17 Historical Perspective on Quarantine and Public Health 34:45 Assumptions and Evidence in Lockdown Policies 36:15 Mental Health and Wellbeing Costs of Lockdowns 41:17 Economic Impact and Lost GDP 42:15 Collateral Damage and Long-Term Effects 46:58 Media and Public Perception During COVID 54:38 Accountability and Future Reforms 01:03:12 Introduction to ANCO Capitalism 01:03:28 The Birth of Brownstone Publishing 01:04:08 Collaborations and Blogs 01:04:51 Estimating the Impact of COVID-19 01:05:23 The Science Behind Excess Deaths and Prevented Lives 01:11:07 Economic Consequences of COVID-19 Policies 01:13:40 Inflation and Lockdown Policies 01:21:26 The Importance of Public Discourse 01:22:12 Upcoming Events and Conferences 01:28:49 Concluding Thoughts on Collaboration and Hope Bio Gigi Foster is a Professor with the School of Economics at the University of New South Wales, having joined UNSW in 2009 after six years at the University of South Australia.

Episode 9: The Decline of Fertility: A Dialogue with Andrew Glover from Pronatalism Australia

Episode 9: The Decline of Fertility: A Dialogue with Andrew Glover from Pronatalism Australia In this episode of the Veriditas Podcast, Petra interviews Dr. Andrew Glover, who discusses the profound societal and demographic challenges posed by declining fertility rates. They explore themes such as the impact of social media, shifts in cultural norms, the role of academic and ideological pressures, and the loss of traditional family structures. Andrew outlines several complex factors contributing to fertility decline, including economic pressures, housing affordability, and career-focused lifestyles. He also proposes potential solutions like stable long-term family rentals, superannuation-backed parental leave, and workplace fertility metrics. The conversation delves into the ethical considerations of immigration as a solution to population decline and contrasts high fertility cultures with those experiencing precipitous declines. This comprehensive discussion underscores the urgency and complexity of addressing fertility issues as a pressing civilizational concern. Andrew Glover is a social scientist, a member of Heterodox Academy and the founder of Pronatalism Australia, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to revitalising birth rates through evidence-based policy and cultural renewal.

In this episode of the Veriditas Podcast, host Dr. Petra Bueskens interviews Laura Delano, author of 'Unshrunk', a memoir that critiques the psychiatric industrial complex.

Clinical iatrogenesis was the injury done to patients by ineffective, toxic, and unsafe treatments that he listed in extensive footnotes. He described the need for evidence-based medicine 20 years before the term was coined. Social iatrogenesis resulted from the medicalisation of life. More and more problems were seen as amenable to medical intervention, with pharmaceutical companies developing expensive treatments for what he described as non-diseases. His most biting words were cultural iatrogenesis, the destruction of traditional ways of dealing with, and making sense of, death, pain, and sickness. He used the medical profes-sion's own statistics to argue that many of the diseases over which doctors claimed victory were on their way out in the natural rhythm of things.” Obituary, Ivan Illich, THE LANCET, Vol 361, January 11, 2003.
