Reason: Books I & II

This book is based on the first five years of The Dr. Bo Show, where Bo takes a critical thinking-, reason-, and science-based approach to issues that matter with the goal of educating and entertaining. Every chapter in the book explores a different aspect of reason by using a real-world issue or example.

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.

It’s not terribly clear who is accusing whom and of what, but the accusation appears to be an ad hominem Guilt by Association because the argument is directed “to the man” and not the claim.

Now, if the claim is being challenged simply because someone of ill repute or scandal had previously made the same claim it could be a Genetic Fallacy.

The fallacy is called the "Fallacy of Presumption" or more specifically, "Hasty Generalization." This involves making a broad or generalized conclusion based on limited or insufficient evidence. It can also be seen as a form of stereotyping or prejudice.
