Ben Goldacre Talks Bad Science [Poptech2010]

[NeverMindSophie]

It feels like he is saying what other people don't even dare to think of. We need more people like him!

[murchie85]

This man, should be more popular in the UK as he talks about what matters, yet we are stuck in a world where idiots such as racist footballers, one minute fame seekers on big brother and X factor new comers are considered more important... its a tough world some times

[diekontrolleure]

i voted this down cause i believe in jesus and he doesnt

[ZuluFightrunner]

@diekontrolleure I don't believe in Jesus either, what ever shall you do ?.

[vistasstoned]

I love his talks, it`s funny he always starts really fast kinda funny informative.. then at the last 5mins he comes out with a truth to life story and slows right down and hits you with a emo bomb > lol ... north america could use a few more like minded

[tubeexcellence]

Did anyone catch the numbered list he said he would give? Ben started with #1 Authority and then I did not see any more numbers.

Please, next time give Dr. Goldacre more fucking time so that he can slow the fuck down!

[WaltonSauce]

@hardinmichael1981

And less Caffeine :P

This guy is my hero, he sparked my interest in science. Now I'm an absolute nutter when it comes to pseudoscience, nothing annoys me more than the bastardisation of science.

Gillian McKeith, Patrick Holford, Kent Hovind, Ken Ham, heck I spent 3 hours ranting at my aunt because she said we should give my sister some holistic therapy.

[tpr007]

@hardinmichael1981 That's how he always is. He needs to slow himself down!

[TheSpankymonkey]

@tpr007 - He is running on placebo affect, someone told him they dropped some cocaine in his beer.

[vistasstoned]

@hardinmichael1981 no that`s how he is..

[TheCardinalFang]

@hardinmichael1981 : I don't think Ben will ever slow down.

Something to do with the laws of physics I think...

[cheezadiddle]

Ben Goldacre is my hero. His frankness is refreshing.

[diekontrolleure]

@cheezadiddle stfu jesus rocks

[DarkEagled1]
