But his purpose in Good Thinking isn’t to shame or place blame. Scientist David Robert Grimes is on a mission to expose the logical fallacies and cognitive biases that drive our discourse on a dizzying array of topics–from vaccination to abortion, 9/11 conspiracy theories to dictatorial doublespeak, astrology to alternative medicine, and wrongful convictions to racism. In our ever-more-polarized society, there’s at least one thing we still agree on: The world is overrun with misinformation, faulty logic, and the gullible followers who buy into it all. Publisher’s Note: Good Thinking was previously published in the UK as The Irrational Ape. Good Thinking is our best defense against anti-vaccine paranoia, climate denial, and other dire threats of today
