"The National Safety Council publishes an “Odds of Dying Chart” that
affirms we are more likely in our lifetime to be killed by everyday
activities - and they would like to prevent that, which is why they
publish a probability of events. Accidental death is far more likely
than being murdered by a gun. There is a 1 in 144 chance of dying from a
fall compared to 1 in 6780 from severe thunderstorm, and a 1 in 470
chance of dying in a car as opposed to 1 in 164,968 chance of a
lightning strike."
We Are Killing Ourselves
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.
