Exploring Fringe Science - To Debunk Or Not To Debunk?
Exploring the world of the strange and unusual can be difficult for a lot of people.
To truly explore the edge of science, you better maintain a conservative, guarded yet open-minded approach.
The first website is also one of my favorites -The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.
The next excellent resource for hard-hitting reviews of the latest fringe research isPopular Mechanics.
The writers at Popular Mechanics are highly credentialed and very intelligent.
Robert Carroll retired from teaching philosophy in 1977.
He also publishedBecoming a Critical Thinkerin 2000 andThe Skeptic’s Dictionaryin 2003.
I encourage you to visit Skepdic.com and support Robert Carroll in his efforts to promote logic and reason.
Through his efforts, he exposed how easily parapsychologists can be fooled by simple magic tricks.
Just be ready for some lively conversation!
