NOTES

Title from title frames

What's the difference between real science and pseudoscience? What's wrong with astrology and phrenology? Find out how to build your own pseudoscience, complete with ambiguous phenomena and post-hoc modifications, so you'll know what to watch out for when you're presented with something that looks like science but doesn't pass the test of a rigorous scientific theory
