Calling Bullshit 2.1: Spotting Bullshit

Jevin discusses some ways to spot bullshit and challenges students to tell whether four nuggets of wisdom from the internet are true or bullshit. Course: INFO 198 / BIOL 106B. University of Washington Instructors: Carl T. Bergstrom and Jevin West Synopsis: Our world is saturated with bullshit. Learn to detect and defuse it. The course will be offered as a 1-credit seminar this spring through the Information School at the University of Washington. We aim to expand it to a 3 or 4 credit course for 2017-2018. For those who cannot attend in person, we aim to videotape the lectures this spring and make video clips freely available on the web. @ Information School Department of Biology Video edited by Bum Mook Oh Music by Chris Zabriskie: Prelude No.7
