“Today we undoubtedly have beliefs that are so wrong that future generations will find them as laughable as we find the idea of a flat earth”

The episode features a clip of the spiritual author and ex–Laura Dern roomie backpedaling on some of her anti-vax statements. Then, after Milano interviews Williamson on her political beliefs and policy proposals, she ends the episode with a monologue addressing critics who consider fringe candidates like Williamson too “wacky”:
Every single wrong belief we ever collectively held was changed from someone looking at it from the outside. In 1610, Galileo published a book that promoted the radical idea that the earth and planets revolved around the sun instead of the other way around. It detailed his observations using a telescoping that showed the phases of Venus. He later went on to theorize that the tides were evidence for the motion of the earth.
This episode comes weeks after Milano faced backlash for tweeting her support for Williamson, whose critics consider her New Age beliefs to be as dangerously far from “the physical sciences” as they come.
