Well, as Nassim Nicholas Taleb – who fervently advocates the cancelation of the Nobel Prize for Economics – has made it clear on more than one occasion, it is because economics is not actually as scientific as all those equations and graphs would have you believe. Unfortunately, economics has failed us – over and over again.Īs the financial crisis of 2008 demonstrated – for the thousandth time – economics is not capable of predicting, let alone preventing apocalyptic events which cause the downfall of corporations and cost thousands of people their homes and even lives.

Adapted from the simplicity of the scientific method, Sagan’s discipline of critical thinking is presented as a salve against the deterioration of America, strengthening its people and buttressing its robust democratic institution. Sagan views the ability to do this as vital not only to an individual’s healthy development, but as a counter-force to the dire lack of education and critical thinking he sees overcoming the country, turning it into a fractious nation awash in false information. Recognizing that the easy awe of pseudoscience is obscuring the natural wonders of scientific exploration and discovery, Sagan develops a Baloney Detection Kit, which prevents being misled by spurious arguments and manipulative half-truths, while enabling a clear method for determining valid information and progressively increasing knowledge. ![]() The Demon-Haunted World traces Sagan’s argument over the course of 25 chapters, in which he details the basic components of critical thinking while referring to case studies drawn from the realm of pseudoscience, ranging from alien abductions to witchcraft. ![]() ![]() ![]() To stay up to date with Pepper's newest release please sign up to her newsletter.
