In this episode of The Unfounded Podcast, Christopher Turner takes a deep dive into the increasingly blurred line between free speech and censorship. Recorded live on TikTok, the conversation was abruptly cut short due to a Community Guidelines Violation. But why? Turner challenges listeners to consider whether these conversations need to be silenced and what this says about the broader state of free expression today.
Beyond the censorship debate, the episode explores the interconnectedness of science and spirituality—two perspectives often portrayed as opposing forces. Turner unpacks historical examples of scientific discovery influenced by intuitive or dream-like experiences, suggesting that logic and mysticism might not be as separate as mainstream narratives imply. Delving into the origins of alchemy, he argues that modern science, at its core, was built upon ancient philosophies that once acknowledged an element of "magic"—a concept later stripped away. If science and spirituality are two sides of the same coin, what else are we being told to keep separate? And more importantly, who benefits from that separation?
