The War on Reason

- Faith vs reason, religion vs science.
- The downside of technological advancement and social progress.
- Anti-science moods and tendencies in society.
- The rise of political populism.
- Fake news and the post-truth era.
- Pseudoscientific woo and superstition.
- Fringe science and junk science.
- The role of religious indoctrination.

You can’t put number 5 in without expecting me and whatever moniker underlankers is currently writing under to vote for it. Thinking of past stupidities may just assuage the present griefs. Is there a word for historic-auto-schadenfreude yet? You did it to yourselves, you did, and that’s what really hurts.
