Spot the denialist

Hmm. Science! And skepticism! Science and skepticism! Together! Jonathan Jarry’s Twitter profile:

Science + skepticism for the public. Podcasting, writing & talks. @McGillOSS . One half of The Body of Evidence (w/ @DrLabos ). Feelings don’t care about facts.

Sounds good. Yay science, yay skepticism, yay for the public. The slogan makes more sense as “facts don’t care about feelings” but maybe he’s being playful.

Any trends to talk about?

Uhhh…denialists? Seriously? It’s “denialism” to say that people can’t change sex? (And it’s the opposite of denialism to say that men are not men if they say they are not men?)

    He is possibly riffing on Ben Shapiro, who drastically overuses the version you give. Yet the ‘feelings don’t care about facts’ version is quite a good summary of his and the TRA position.

    I would like to hear about all the biggest and dumbest trends in woo this year. Except for the woo I like. It’s mean to call that woo.
