Introductions can be hard to write. I’m never sure quite how to begin.
So why write a blog? First of all I just want to practice writing. For the most part I don’t care if anyone reads this. I can’t imagine many people will. However, I want to practice putting my ideas into words at least fortnightly. Secondly I want to record my thoughts on various topics and the research I did on them since my memory isn’t fantastic. Thirdly to give me something to do in my downtime other than endless scrolling on social media. A hobby of sorts and motivation to stay up on the news, looking for topics to blog about.
Lastly, and most importantly, I want somewhere to write primers on how pseudoscience misleads people. I’ve been following movements like creationism and anti-vaccine movements for years and since they all use the same playbook some of the tricks they use apply to all movements. I will be mainly focusing on anti-vaccine movement since I consider creationism to be fairly passe at this point and far less of an immediate threat.
I’ve been meaning to do this for years now and I regret not starting a long time ago but better late than never hey? I have a few topics locked and loaded so I may try to get those out ASAP and then refine them later. I’ve got a lot to figure out but I decided I just needed to start. So here we are. Welcome!
