"We can unconsciously increase the odds of a “rare” event occurring by
post hoc analysis, open ended criteria (wiggle room), and mining large
sets of data. In fact, we are inherently good at doing all of these
things. We might call the overall process pattern recognition. Our
brains evolved to make connections, to see patterns, and then to imbue
them with meaning."
The Improbability Principle
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.
