Connecting education and a dehumanized work force
Pseudoscience in the US education system is a danger to American democracy as we know it. In his new book, writer and professor of physics Joseph Ganem deconstructs the incorrect conclusions brought on by pseudoscientific narratives, along with the misuse of data that has ultimately created an uneducated citizenry and dehumanized workforce. The Robot Factory delivers an enlightening connect-the-dots journey of how being treated like a widget in school translates to a continued lack of relatedness later in life.
