In a world where information is tightly controlled and debate is tabooed, how can we tell truth from disinformation? Stop Me If I Say Something Crazy dives into the contentious territory of the post-truth era, where public health crises, political polarization, and scientific disputes reveal cracks in the systems meant to uphold democracy and science.
From controversial case studies—spanning vaccines, chemical attacks, and the collapse of a 47-story skyscraper on 9/11—to the larger questions of how narratives are shaped and dissent is demonized, John Schoneboom offers a methodical approach to reclaiming critical thinking. He illuminates the methods by which we can assess truth without becoming experts in every field.
With sharp wit and a commitment to intellectual integrity, this book champions the messy, vital lifeblood of democracy: dissent. It is a compelling call to resist binary thinking and engage with complexity in the pursuit of truth—even when it takes us into uncomfortable territory.
Dare to think critically. Dare to question. And if this book says something crazy—stop it.
