Mythmongery –
I created the word as a way of describing the process by which complete nonsense enters our consciences and becomes accepted as fact. Mythmongers are those who, either out of their own naivety or for personal gain, perpetuate these myths.
Most of our opinions are based not on concrete findings or rational thought, but rather on vague notions of reality based on what society obliges us to believe. This blog is intended to look at these assumptions and challenge them using rational views formed through critical reasoning and logic.
We are constantly bullied into believing in a great deal of things that have no basis in fact, with no real supportive evidence. Over the next few weeks, I intend to explore many of these myths and hope to explore them as the fallacies they are.
At some point I will post a graph that will better explainwhat I am trying to accomplish.
I make no claim to have the definitive answers; this is very much a personal and singular way of seeing. Prove me wrong – please!!
