Loading... Denying to the Grave: Why We Ignore the Facts That Will Save Us (edition 2016)by Sara E. Gorman (Author)It all boils down to humans are emotional, social, random animals, not rational, reasonable predictable models. I'm giving this two stars not because I disagree with anything they had to say, I just found it a bit dull. I wanted some new insight and thought from it but I'm left in exactly the same place. Except I know another book that says lots of things I agree with but hasn't helped my thoughts develop any further. They probably deserve more than two stars. But fuck it, I'm being miserable today. A good but ultimately little frustrating read. Yes, the points raised are valid as are their specific examples. Where I ended up frustrated was the idea that scientists--who kind of caused the problem (or at least didn't recognize the problem for a long time), being the ones who will fix the problem. I was not left convinced that their solution would work. |
