Weirdly there is an amazing review that I completely agree with, weirdly I gave the book 4 stars, that review gave it 1 but still, all points are perfectly described how the book is, so go ahead and read this review:
/review/show...
Update: tl;dr He seemed to have written down every single social experiment that ever was conducted that had a weird outcome. After reading more about the “Replication crisis� it feels more like most of his social experiments fall exactly in this category. Experiments that can’t be reproduced. Further he talks about how no pundit can be trusted. � except him of course. This book feels very elitist.
Another example he makes up fake people and asks a social questions just to tell you “you dummy mathematically it is more likely the person is a farmer because there are more farmers in the world�. That’s not how any of this works.
