Story4.5 out of 5 stars 268
Misinformation, disinformation, and fake news abound, and it’s increasingly difficult to know what’s true. We are fairly well equipped to spot the sort of old-school bullshit that is based in fancy rhetoric and weasel words, but most of us don’t feel qualified to challenge the avalanche of new-school bullshit presented in the language of math, science, or statistics. In Calling Bullshit, Professors Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West give us a set of powerful tools to cut through the most intimidating data.

A modern refresher on critical thinking
Reviewed: 04-06-21
Critical thinking has never been more important. Calling Bullshit does an excellent job of demonstrating these concepts and how to apply them in modern life. The book’s examples are thoughtful, well organized, and represent a broad range of subjects. I consider this a must-read!
