Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

I think the fallacy that best describes the situation as a whole is retrogressive causation . The tire salesman, in an effort to get you to have better tires, goes about it by destroying your tires. But, in the end section of the scenario, where the tire salesman uses the excuse of "but your tires don't work" to deflect from the fact that he was the one who destroyed them, that would be an example of rationalization . |
