"When science is discounted based on ideology, we all lose. But when
science is accepted based on authority or tradition, instead of critical
thinking and evidence, we also lose. We must be both skeptical and open
to new ideas and experiences to make progress. And as Richard Feynman
said, 'The first principle is that you must not fool yourself – and you
are the easiest person to fool.'"

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.
