This is bullshit.
Disinformation and fake news are multiplying, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to tell what's true. The media landscape is subservient to the interests of political parties, specific businesses, or the geopolitical ambitions of entire states. Science is practised through press
releases. Startup culture elevates bullshit to a high art.
We are relatively well-equipped to recognise old-style bullshit based on impressive rhetoric and kind
words, but most of us don't feel qualified
to challenge contemporary bullshit presented in the language of mathematics, science, or statistics.
In the book Calling Bullshit,
the authors provide us with a set of effective tools to help us penetrate even the most seemingly impenetrable data. Drawing from a deep well of expertise in statistics
and computational biology, they skilfully uncover examples of selection
bias and misleading data visualisation. We have always needed people who will, when necessary, say out loud, “This is bullshit,” whether in a circle of friends, in the scientific community, or among the citizens of a nation. Now that bullshit has become so widespread, we must
relearn the art of scepticism.
