About this listen

If you listen to any political argument, you're eventually bound to hear something like: "The science is settled on this." Or: "Just look at the statistics!" Or: "There have been studies that say..."

You'd think we were living in the golden age of science and reason. But the truth is far more sinister, says Austin Ruse. We're actually living in the age of the low information voter, easily misled by all-too-convincing false statistics and studies. In Fake Science, Ruse debunks so-called "facts" used to advance political causes one after the other, revealing how poorly they stand up to actual science.

This book exposes the listener to numerous science subjects that have been skewed by people with an agenda and are happy to sully the name of scientific research in the process. From climate science to DDT thru reproduction and gender theory the listener is educated on the subjects in both an understandable and verifiable way. Damn good audio book.

Fake Science is simply brilliant

an enlightening book with strongly stated views.
lots of references to scholars, scientists and others that I have never heard of ( would take a lot of effort to verify). regardless, the authors views are certainly plausible. content is more vitriol than debate or discussion.

Strongly stated positions

What I really enjoyed about this book was the many examples of faulty scientific methodology in a range of issues like LGBT, global warming, abortion, overpopulation and others. Highly recommend.

fascinating insight and lots of examples

Some very important facts are presented in this book that are usually hidden from the populace. I am grateful for the courageous author who is willing to highlight so much fallacy.

Finally the truth presented.

When the author started talking about gays and lesbians I started to wounder if he had met any in person. Like my friend Thanh who when he was once asked how did he know he was gay replied "How dud you know you were hero?" When he got to planned parenthood I found myself asking if he had met anyone who used their services, like my friend Amy, who needed to use their free prenatal services when she had no money but was pregnant with her son. But by the time he got to food poverty in the USA he was basically blaming the poor for being too stupid to know how to cook.

Has the author actually met any of the people he us talking about in person?
