Daniel Levitin, A FIELD GUIDE TO LIES: CRITICAL THINKING IN THE |
|
INFORMATION AGE |

I've been reading (listening to) this useful book, which isn't |
|
too full of equations to be annoying. It makes statistics more |
|
understandable and provides valuable suggestions on what |
|
expertise to trust and what to be on the alert for when on the |
|
Internet looking for information. |
|
The author is a neuroscientist and a musician. |

Snow and a cold snap mean a more stressful time than usual for |
|
me, and so today's post will be merely a quotation from A FIELD |
|
GUIDE TO LIES: |
|
[quote]Lying weasels who want to separate us from our money or |
|
get us to vote against our own best interests will try to snow |
|
us with pseudo-facts, confuse us with numbers that have no |
|
basis, or just distract us with information that, upon closer |
|
examination, is not actually relevant.[/quote] |
