"This is an attitude that is at the very heart of how many
misunderstand what Science-Based Medicine is. It is also a pernicious
attitude that leads so many physicians to become and remain what Val
Jones once so famously called them, “shruggies.” They know that
modalities like reiki and the rest of “energy medicine,” homeopathy,
acupuncture and the vast majority of traditional Chinese medicine, and
much of what is being “integrated” into medicine under the rubric of
“integrative medicine” range from being at best scientifically
unsupported and at worst pseudoscientific or mystical nonsense, but they
do nothing. They do not object. They do not complain. They shrug their
shoulders."
You are part of the problem if you are not actively against ALL forms of faith-based thinking.

Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
