Science curator David Bielo appeared on NPR to discuss climate change and new cooling technologies. The hosts mock Bielo for describing Computer-Assisted Design (CAD) as a "new technology" that people "overhype as AI," noting that CAD has been a standard industry tool since the 1970s.
Bill Gates Foundation and Intelligent Design Funding
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has reportedly provided funding to the Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based organization known for promoting intelligent design. While the foundation claims the money was earmarked for transportation projects rather than anti-evolution work, the hosts question the optics of such donations. They use this as a springboard to discuss the need for a major patron to support the No Agenda show's independent research.
Discovery Institute, George Gilder and Creationism Funding
The Discovery Institute in Seattle is identified as the primary financial and organizational driver behind efforts to teach creationism and intelligent design in schools. High-tech guru George Gilder is cited as a major donor to these initiatives, while a separate "Atlas of Creation" book from Turkey is noted as an independent project.
