Humanity’s never-ending quest to understand its place in this wondrous, mysterious universe has led to immeasurable improvements and countless calamities, alike — sometimes simultaneously and, on occasion, a single step toward progress results in two steps regressed. A working prototype of what we now know as the Internet debuted just a few months after man first landed on the moon, and some might argue that 1969 was the year humankind reached its greatest height just as it was laying the foundation for its capacity to sink to its lowest depths. Now, some people unironically use the Internet to spread denial that anybody could have made it to the moon at all, harnessing the miracle of global connection to convince yet more people that the very Earth beneath their feet isn’t even a globe, but a flapjack of dirt and ice somehow floating in the firmament — maybe on the back of a giant tortoise or something. Best of all, they’ve done their “research” and they’ve got the “facts” to prove whatever nonsense they’re trying to sell.

On this episode, we’re joined by Dave Farina, a brainy fellow who crusades against this very kind of idiocy by helping make science make sense for everyone through his Professor Dave Explains YouTube channel, his Professor Dave Debates podcast, and his new book, Is This Wi-Fi Organic?: A Guide to Spotting Misleading Science Online (Science Myths Debunked). Here, we discuss what kind of misinformation is being commonly peddled to the masses, who profits from its proliferation, and what we can do to increase our scientific literacy so we’re not suckered into believing weaponized hogwash and passing it off to our friends and family as fact. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
