Also from before the AI boom, Cathy O'Neil's popscience book "Weapons of Math Destruction" has the argument laid out. From Wikipedia, "She posits that these problematic mathematical tools share three key features: they are opaque, unregulated, and difficult to contest."

I know I'm not supposed to give context, but I want to say, my degree is in Evolutionary Biology and this book corrects a lot of common misconceptions about evolution prevalent in popscience that are often used to push certain political agendas. HIGHLY recommend #evolution #nonfiction
Pick 30 books you've read that you think are underrated. No context, no explanations, just covers.

The Orion capsule survives reentry by turning the air into plasma. As @ryannorth.ca points out in Flash #31, Wally West would have to survive something much worse.
That’s a problem -- unless you have a hall pass for the physics.

Ofc ofc, but sadly “sounding correct” is more important in popscience comm circles than actually being correct which is why his “um aktually” shit works, and now he has almost a cult of personality around him so people just assume he is infallible

Deep-sea fish larvae rewrite the rules of how eyes can be built
Deep-sea fish larvae combine features of both rods and cones into a single, highly specialised cell that is optimised for life in between light and darkness.

i know it sounds weird to argue for a higher killcount. but i feel like it highlights how popscience is still so biased to frame reptiles/dinosaurs as monstrous killing machines

New popscience piece on why pupil size changes are so cool. psyche.co/ideas/the-pu...
Included: an assignment that lets you measure pupil size. In my classes, this replicates Hess & Polt's 1964 effort finding without an eyetracker. Feel free to use it!

also LMAO at this new popscience fascist argument that "science is common sense"... bruh there are QUARKS, science is not common sense or we would not have SCIENCE (aka the scientific method, methodology for determining truth in a world that is limited by our subjective experiences of it)

I just wish literary studies actually used the various memos and found some other theory basis for their arguments.
(And this is why I probably lean popscience for aspec literature. I would rather chew my foot off than go build deliberately on Freudian theory.)
