**Unlocking the Truth Behind Pseudoscience in Mainstream Media**br br In this thought-provoking video, we delve into the murky waters of pseudoscience that often permeates mainstream media, from major newspapers to popular science magazines. We examine a particularly troubling example from National Geographic Kids, where the line between fact and fiction blurs in a cover story about birthstones. Is it really necessary for reputable institutions to resort to sensationalism for profit? br br Join us as we explore the implications of such editorial choices, especially when targeting young audiences. With insights from renowned thinkers like Antonio Martínez Ron and Richard Dawkins, we argue that true science can be just as awe-inspiring, if not more so, than the fanciful tales of old. br br We invite you to reflect on the importance of distinguishing between myth and reality in our quest for knowledge.
