Sutter 2023-08-19 | Support the show: http://www.patreon.com/pmsutterFull podcast episodes: http://www.askaspaceman.com In this episode of #AskASpaceman, I dig into the nature of pseudoscience versus science. I will discuss what characterizes #science from the outside, like jargon, technical gadgets, and advanced mathematics. These are the qualities that pseudoscience shares, but crucially pseudoscience misses the important core of science: the openness, the rigor, the rationality, the skepticism, the connectedness, and the openness that are the trademarks of scientific investigation.I show how common beliefs like UFO hunting, homeopathy, astrology, ghost hunting, ancient aliens, and more are all examples of pseudoscience.Finally, I give some practical tips for navigating the world of pseudoscientific beliefs and how to respond to proponents of those beliefs.
