TheESP – Ep. #378 – Heilpraktiker rubbish

…FYI, that’s not James Randi talking
This week we reflect a bit on the Eurovision Song Contest and how people misunderstand the news about a baby “with three parents”. In TWISH we wish Ben Goldacre a happy birthday and then Pontus brings us up to date with Pope Frankie. And then, of course, the news:

  • GERMANY: The Golden Board Award is back!
  • IRELAND: AI is here to stay: Fake article about fake tanning in the Irish Times
  • UK: Retractions should not take longer than two months, says UK Parliament committee
  • GERMANY: The schools that train ‘Heilpraktiker’ in Germany: no standards and no control
  • UK: Lost in the mall: Are the results of the classic false memory study not valid?

“Voices from the Void” maybe hearing things, but the voices in their head do not include James Randi. Hear this instead: you are Really Wrong!

Enjoy!

    Even skeptics may fall for claims that they wish to be true if they do not remind themselves that they too have their political, ideological, and religious or nonreligious biases that could cloud their objectivity.
