My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well, the book wasn’t quite what I expected based on the title alone. I figured this would be an amusing read that simply bashes established scientific norms and standards. However, what we have here is a thoughtful collection of essays regarding the missing genes, the spirit of Scientism, Prodigies, transgender children and more. The author puts together a collection of thoughtful pieces that examine each topic but does not layout a conclusion with certainty. Although, the individual pieces are somewhat leading the reader to a certain conclusion as other opinions are only superficially examined. The author does preface the book with what it is Not, and so he leaves us to use our own common sense as we consider the stance he has taken on certain topics and whether we might align with his views. Certainly, thought provoking, but I simply do not agree with many of the points being made by the author.
