Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World by Jevin D. West & Carl T. Bergstrom, 2020

An indispensable handbook to the art of scepticism from two brilliantly contrarian scientists.
We think we know bullshit when we hear it, but do we?
Politicians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. Start-up culture elevates hype to high art. The world is awash in bullshit, and we're drowning in it.
