The Irrational Ape: Why Flawed Logic Puts us all at Risk and How Critical Thinking Can Save the World

The ability to think critically, not give in to panic, distinguish facts from fiction, and separate scientific research from the inventions of charlatans can literally save your life—or at least help you be Homo sapiens, a rational human being, not an ignorant ape. History and the present are full of examples where the most absurd and ignorant theories are accepted as scientific facts. This audiobook is aimed at combating pseudoscience in all its forms. Grimes analyzes in detail how pseudoscientific myths and theories are created and spread, their influence on society, methods of protection against them, and ways to refute them.
