Sinopsis

How to rigorously question anything and everything – A practical epistemological guide providing a concise set of criteria anyone can use to judge the validity of any narrative...

The practice of cultivating one’s own intellectual independence is naturally threatening to those who personally benefit from the fruits of establishment credo, which is why official pronouncements have traditionally been taken with a grain of salt.

But alas, today the “Question everything” ethos appears long dead. In this post-reason era one is likely to be lambasted, or unceremoniously de-platformed, for “doing your own research” and openly lauded for blindly following the herd.

Offense of Reason is offered as an antidote to this unfortunate zeitgeist by motivating a method––a set of criteria––anyone can use to parse the practical validity and utility of personally impactful narratives and propositions, especially those arising from the vaunted annals of establishment science.

It is part common sense and part application of the epistemological principle of falsifiability. But It requires no academic-level grasp of the latter school of philosophy nor professional expertise in the example topics to which the method is applied, which include Climate Change (Anthropogenic Global Warming), Darwinian Theory of Evolution, IQ (theory of intelligence), virology (epidemiology, pandemics), vaccination, COVID-19 (coronavirus) and civil rights.
