Skeptoid 2: More Critical Analysis of Pop Phenomena
Skeptoid 2: More Critical Analysis of Pop Phenomena | Brian Dunning
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
As its name suggests, Skeptoid II is a collection of skeptical factoids - short pro-science essays debunking a broad variety of phenomena in pop culture with pseudoscientific or paranormal foundations. The foreword is by Michael Shermer, one of the world's most outspoken promoters of critical thinking. Skeptoid's chapters are adapted from 50 episodes of the popular critical thinking podcast of the same name. Just about every popular pseudoscience is represented here: Everything from paranormal phenomena such as crop circles, Nostradamus and ghost hunting to quack health trends like bioidentical hormone therapy, electrosensitivity, and the alleged mercury-autism link.

Second of his books by Brian Dunning host of the Skeptoid Podcast. As good as the first. In a time of limitless conspiracy theories there is need for more critical thinking. Brian Dunning‘s purpose in life is to encourage people to look at things with a more critical eye.
