How To Be Critical Of Information, An Equine Magazine Review by Geoff Tucker, DVM.

Описание: Welcome to The Horse’s Advocate Podcast episode 42: “How to be critical of information, an Equine magazine review by Geoff Tucker, DVM.”

I am on a path of revealing how science works and why it is a well-orchestrated drama to promote an agenda. I try not to be cynical or even blind. Still, in this age of slogans such as "Follow the science," I need to define not what science is (I did this in a members-only "Rounds With Doc T") but give examples from a popular magazine.

I read and then summarized each article in the Winter 2021 edition of Equus to give an alternate point of view. What I cover here also applies to videos, podcasts, and social media rants. I describe the importance of reading who has sponsored the article and if an author is willing to take responsibility for what they write. Finally, I look at information and judge it for the value and honesty it brings.

There are some excellent articles, and some are so embarrassing in bias that they question the validity of the good pieces. But in any event, I want listeners to understand that you MUST question everything you read, hear, or watch and ask questions. One of the benchmarks for judging whether something I am reading is valid is to notice if I have more questions at the end than when I started.
