Throughout history, humans have always indulged in certain
irrationalities and held some fairly wrong-headed beliefs. But in
his newest book, philosopher Lee McIntyre shows how we've now
reached a watershed moment for ignorance in the modern era, due to
the volume of misinformation, the speed with which it can be
digitally disseminated, and the savvy exploitation of our cognitive
weaknesses by those who wish to advance their ideological agendas.
In Respecting Truth: Willful Ignorance in the Internet Age,
McIntyre issues a call to fight back against this slide into the
witless abyss. In the tradition of Galileo, the author champions
the importance of using tested scientific methods for arriving at
true beliefs, and shows how our future survival is dependent on a
more widespread, reasonable world.
