A Straighttalking Survival Guide To The Mean Streets Of A Dying Democracy And A Global Pandemic.Wiredmisinformation, Disinformation, And Fake News Abound And Its Increasingly Difficult To Know Whats True. Our Media Environment Has Become Hyperpartisan. Science Is Conducted By Press Release. Startup Culture Elevates Bullshit To High Art. We Are Fairly Well Equipped To Spot The Sort Of Oldschool Bullshit That Is Based In Fancy Rhetoric And Weasel Words, But Most Of Us Dont Feel Qualified To Challenge The Avalanche Of Newschool Bullshit Presented In The Language Of Math, Science, Or Statistics. In Calling Bullshit, Professors Carl Bergstrom And Jevin West Give Us A Set Of Powerful Tools To Cut Through The Most Intimidating Data.You Dont Need A Lot Of Technical Expertise To Call Out Problems With Data. Are The Numbers Or Results Too Good Or Too Dramatic To Be True? Is The Claim Comparing Like With Like? Is It Confirming Your Personal Bias? Drawing On A Deep Well Of Expertise In Statistics And Computational Biology, Bergstrom And West Exuberantly Unpack Examples Of Selection Bias And Muddled Data Visualization, Distinguish Between Correlation And Causation, And Examine The Susceptibility Of Science To Modern Bullshit.We Have Always Needed People Who Call Bullshit When Necessary, Whether Within A Circle Of Friends, A Community Of Scholars, Or The Citizenry Of A Nation. Now That Bullshit Has Evolved, We Need To Relearn The Art Of Skepticism.
