John Petrocelli, Professor for Psychology at Wake Forest University, builds a structured framework for understanding what bullshit (as a technical term, the sustained representation of ideas with blatant disregard to their veracity) is, how to identify it, what it takes to build resistance, and why there should be sustained effort to condition people to call out bullshit and advocate scientific and critical thinking instead.
