Battling Bad Science

by The Philosophical Fish

This is actually two things. #1. A wonderful video on science and false or inflated claims, and #2. A fabulous demonstration of why you should question everything from the person who identifies him/herself as an authority based on credentials, to the recommendations you read in the media. Do your own investigations, but don’t just read the reports that support what you hope the real meaning is. Read and apply equal weight to the reports that argue against what you want to believe. In other words, believe what you find, don’t find what you believe.
