Tim Minchin's STORM
Tim Minchin's STORM
Tim Minchin's "Storm" is a nine-minute beat poem that satirizes alternative medicine, pseudoscience, and New Age beliefs. The poem is highly critical of those who reject scientific evidence in favor of unfounded and irrational claims.
In "Storm," Tim Minchin highlights the importance of skepticism, critical thinking, and the scientific method. He argues that we should be wary of those who claim to have knowledge or insight without any evidence to back it up, and that we should always question our own beliefs and assumptions. ''Storm" is a humorous but pointed critique of anti-scientific thinking, and it encourages viewers to embrace rationality and evidence-based thinking in their lives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhGuXCuDb1UÂ

7 Common arguments for alternative medicine debunkedÂ
7 Common arguments for alternative medicine debunkedÂ
"Alternative medicine proponents argue for their viewpoints in similar ways to religious apologists. Their arguments are just as ill-informed and irrational as any religious fundamentalist’s. So, debunking them takes little more than basic critical thinking skills and a little understanding of how drugs are researched and regulated. Naturopathy is pseudoscience, essential oils don’t work, homeopathy is a scam, the supplement industry is bogus, and the terrible arguments their proponents present are definitely no help" - GM Skeptic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=levbjG4t5tcÂ
