Skeptic events in Europe

The Grand Unified Theory of Bull***t suggests that no matter where it's from, all bull***t smells the same. From Alternative Medicine to the insurrection in Washington, the underlying cognitive biases that make us all susceptible to grifters and bad actors are similar. No matter how silly or harmless bad ideas may seem at first, because they all reinforce and rely on bad thinking, they are all actually dangerous and harmful. In their new book "The Grand Unified Theory of Bull***t", Cecil and Tom describe not only the harms of a variety of commonly held forms of grift and bull***t, but also offer a plan on what steps need to be taken in real terms to reduce your susceptibility to bull***t.

Tom Curry and Cecil Cicerello began the Cognitive Dissonance podcast in 2011 to cover news and current affairs from a skeptical, secular and political perspective. In 2022, they distilled what they'd learned from over 600 shows into their first book: The Grand Unified Theory of Bull***t, which they'll be discussing in conversation with Michael Marshall.
