In recent weeks I have been watching YouTube videos from a PBS series called "Closer to Truth." The host, Robert Lawrence Kuhn, is a neuroscientist who is investigating ideas at (over?) the edges of science. One episode starkly shows the absurdity of giving credibility to pseudoscience horse pucky: the last speaker in this episode, Julia Mossbridge, is a proponent of Noetic Science. A reminder:
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.
