Science Deniers. How to Talk to Flat Earthers, Anti-Vaxxers, and Conspiracy Theorists

In a world ruled by technology and scientific progress, there seems to be no place for ignorance, speculation, and unproven hypotheses. But contrary to common sense, many for some reason fiercely defend conspiracy theories and believe the most improbable claims:... for example, that the Earth is flat, climate change is a fabrication, and the coronavirus is a biological weapon.
Philosopher of science and educator Lee McIntyre has met with dozens of dissenters and created an engaging guide to this irrational community. He managed to understand how it is organized, figure out how to talk to its adherents, and what arguments work on them. He is convinced that science deniers need to be persuaded, as their delusions can sometimes be deadly.
