How Carl Sagan Beat Pseudoscience (The Sagan Method)
Like and subscribe. This is an archive channel, i'm not the owner of the content, check the link in the end. Astronomer Carl Sagan had a “consumer tested” method for busting pseudoscience. Here’s how it worked.
In chapter 12 (The Fine Art of Baloney Detection) of Sagan’s ‘The Demon Haunted World,'' he lays out a method for detecting and debunking pseudoscience. Whether tackling astrology, channeling, creationism, homeopathy, or alien abductions, Sagan’s ‘Baloney Detection Kit’ can handle the challenge. Scientists utilize the tools in this kit as a regular part of their work, and I think it’s time we learn how to use them in our day-to-day lives.
This Demon Haunted World review and discussion is my way of continuing the mission of Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and their peers. As Sagan in DHW, "Not explaining science seems to me perverse.
When you're in love, you want to tell the world."
