Here Be Dragons
Brian Dunning has created a 40-minute video introduction to critical thinking called Here Be Dragons based on his excellent Skeptoid podcast.
Most people fully accept paranormal and pseudoscientific claims without critique as they are promoted by the mass media. Here Be Dragons offers a toolbox for recognizing and understanding the dangers of pseudoscience, and appreciation for the reality-based benefits offered by real science.
Here Be Dragons is suitable for general audiences and is licensed for free distribution and public display. Go download your own copy or purchase a DVD at the Here Be Dragons website.
Anecdotal Evidence
Anecdotal evidence has value for suggesting directions to research, but it does not by itself constitute evidence, and cannot reasonably be treated as such. – Brian Dunning
