How to Talk to a Science DenierÂ
How to Talk to a Science DenierÂ
"Climate change is a hoax--and so is coronavirus." "Vaccines are bad for you." These days, many of our fellow citizens reject scientific expertise and prefer ideology to facts. They are not merely uninformed--they are misinformed. They cite cherry-picked evidence, rely on fake experts, and believe conspiracy theories. How can we convince such people otherwise? How can we get them to change their minds and accept the facts when they don't believe in facts? We will discuss the theme of Philosopher Lee McIntyreâs new book: âHow to Talk to a Science Denier: Conversations with Flat Earthers, Climate Deniers, and Others Who Defy Reasonâ.
