Excellent show, Doc! Haha, as far as I listened to it. I have the habit of plugging an earbud (wired!) and fall asleep so I wil have to listen to it again. Which I usually do.
One of the things that really stuck was "You're a surgeon so when you go looking elsewhere, that is a threat to them." Exactly! Any idea how many times I heard the phrase "I wasn't taught this in medical school"? I had a tactic; follow doctors how found out they couldn't help themself. All of a sudden they find out it wasn't their patients lying to them, they realized their own voodoo didn't really work! Tim Noakes, great man, found out what really kept his diabetes in check. There is a Dutch (sports)doctor who couldn't get rid of that tummy until he did some more research and found out it wasn't just about moving more and eating less.
Sad part is when you try to explain this phenomenon to your friend, they call you a conspiracy theorist. How can you know everything better than people who studied to become a doctor for 9 years! They don't understand they just posed and answered their question simultaniously.
I agree about the insistence of staying in your specialisation. RFK Jr being loudly criticised on exactly this point, but no one ever criticises Bill Gates for his massive interventions across the board - vaccines, economics, WHO, etc ad infinitum.
Brilliant, informative conversation - thank you both very much. I particularly liked Robin's final words (of advice): "the ability to not just go along with things"...
Interesting.. I will look out for this chap's podcast. But, regarding the current conflict in the Middle East, have any (commited rather than just nominal) Christians been saying "Give them hell!" ? I myself haven't heard any.
Maybe there were brown-skinned baddies in films in the 80s, but I (as an Englishman) seem to remember an awful lot of English actors employed in such roles: Alan Rickman, Jeremy Irons, Ralph Fiennes, Christopher Ecclestone, Lawrence Olivier .... 🙃
Another great chat. What an eloquent and insightful chap Robin is. It was interesting to hear his views on the UN which made a lot of sense plus his view of what will happen next. Having first hand knowledge of the Club of Rome was also good. Well done Doc for finding these great guests

Maybe there is no podcast. But he has his own Wikipedia page and this site for his (and his wife's) artistic work: https://luminousarts.co.uk/
Is it just me or does this podcast come to a sudden end...?!
It does!!!! Argh substack didn't upload fully for some reason. I'm re uploading, sorry Gabi
All working now, thanks Doc :)
