"Scientists ask, “how can I be wrong,” and then design their next experiment. We make progress by trying to prove new ideas wrong. Good scientists are skeptics, and history shows that initial skepticism is not only reasonable, it is necessary."
Too bad most people don't understand this.

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.
