Everyone I meet seems to believe in some irrational nonsense. Anti-vaccination myths, alternative medicine, auras, astrology, ghosts, global consciousness, indigo children, psychics, psychokinesis, reincarnation, religion… the list is endless.
The denialists are just as bad. Evolution deniers want to teach “intelligent design” as though it were science. Global warming deniers (irritatingly, calling themselves "skeptics"), claim global warming isn't real, or isn't caused by humans.
Generically, these things are what skeptics call Woo - pseudo-scientific and often anti-scientific ideas - ideas that are irrational and not based on evidence commensurate with the extraordinary nature of the claim.
I started this site as an antidote to all the woo.
