There’s a growing body of peer-reviewed, publicly available research that rarely makes it into mainstream conversation — not because it’s classified, but because the social cost of engaging with it has quietly become too high.

This week, Shane and Tim sit down with political science professor and author Wilfred Reilly to examine why certain documented facts struggle to get a fair hearing. Wilfred walks through the social enforcement mechanisms he documents in Taboo, discusses the 2018-2021 social media content moderation era and its effect on public discourse, and shares data on political representation across academic disciplines. The conversation also covers coordinated media framing, what the research actually shows on several widely reported topics, and closes with a broader look at how surveillance culture has reshaped how younger generations socialize.

We don’t hand you the verdict. We hand you the evidence. You decide.
