We think we know bulls--t when we hear it, but do we? A spotter's guide to bulls--t in the wild from two brilliantly contrarian scientists.
The world is awash in bulls--t and we're drowning in it.
Politicians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. Start-up culture elevates hype to high art. These days, calling bulls--t is a noble act.
Based on a popular course at the University of Washington, Calling Bulls--t gives us the tools to see through the obfuscations, deliberate and careless, that dominate every realm of our lives.
In this lively guide, biologist Carl Bergstrom and statistician Jevin West show that calling bulls--t is crucial to a properly functioning social group, whether it be a circle of friends, a community of researchers, or the citizens of a nation.
Through six rules of thumb, they help us recognise bulls--t whenever and wherever we encounter it - even within ourselves - and explain it to a crystal-loving aunt or casually racist grandfather.
Calling Bulls--t is a modern handbook to the art of scepticism.
