## Resource

Roger Cunningham, aka the Ethical Skeptic, explores the tactics of social engineering, propaganda, and the manipulation of scientific discourse, explaining why science is pretty much dead. He discusses how logical fallacies influence everything, and dives into the importance of scepticism. For example, do you remember hearing "safe and effective"? It's nonsense, and he explains why. ➡️ Please subscribe to my newsletter at jermwarfare.com .
