About this listen
From participating scientists to philosophers, this was a lively, interesting conversation about what is pseudoscience and its role. Each meeting provides definitions and language, and the calls are recorded with helpful instructions on how participants can protect themselves if they still want to participate.
Definitions:
Pseudoscience: Consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the empirical nature of the scientific method.
Scientific Method: It was developed over the centuries from the ancient and medieval world. The scientific method involves careful observation coupled with rigorous skepticism because cognitive assumptions can distort the interpretation of the observation. Scientific inquiry includes creating a testable hypothesis through inductive reasoning, testing it through experiments and statistical analysis, and adjusting or discarding the hypothesis based on the results.
