We think we know bulls--t when we hear it, but do we? A spotter's guide to bulls--t in the wild from two brilliantly contrarian scientists. The world is awash in bulls--t and we're drowning in it. Politicians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. Start-up culture elevates hype to high art. These days, calling bulls--t is a noble act. Based on a popular course at the University of Washington, Calling Bulls--t gives us the tools to see through the obfuscations, deliberate and careless, that dominate every realm of our lives.
