“This is the epitome of the type of thinking that pretends to use science to debunk all sort of things. The problem is, like most people who do this under the guise of skepticism, is he has very little knowledge, and even less understanding of what he is talking about. I openly laugh out loud at some of his explanations, even a elementary school science education is more accurate than him.
The most laughable thing is everything is explained by “mass hysteria”, which isn’t what he seems to think it. He uses it in that way that has been used by blatant sexists and racists to dismiss the experiences of anyone believing or experiencing the world differently from them. “No, your symptoms are real, you’re hysterical, see a psychiatrist.” He gives rational people and scientist a bad name. His lack of education and reliance on pop science instead of real science makes his arguments churlish and easily dismissed. He is not a skeptic, he just a contrarian. This is lazy podcasting.”

“There are a lot of weird people out there, and Brian Dunning is happy to expose the total lack of logic in what those folks profess to believe. I think there's an awful lot about the world and about our own minds and bodies that we don't understand yet, but as we explore new ideas, a...”Read full review »
