Did you know that the more nightclubs there are in an area, the more churches there are in that area? That with the increase in the consumption of organic foods, cases of autism have increased? Why is that?
If you didn't manage to find the answers to the two questions above, you have plenty of company. Don't worry, it's not your fault. Our education in critical thinking and related logical fallacies is extremely inadequate.
This book is a guide for lovers of logic and truth. With examples from everyday life, videos, exercises, and plenty of humor, we will discuss the importance of logic and critical thinking in education, work, and daily life, as well as the obstacles to the development of rationality. Among other things, we will examine questions such as: Are blondes dumb? Is homeopathy effective? Reiki, the evil eye, iridology, acupuncture, crystal balls, tarot, blood type diet? Are we being sprayed? Has the cure for cancer been found? Are we the smartest people with the richest language in the world?
Bonus. Dr. Ro offers you the interactive online course "Logic, critical thinking, psychology, and literacy" for free. Don't be a fool... with a capital F! Take the course and become smart with a certificate!
