Introducing Pseudoscience Prevention's WORKSHEETS!
Three months ago, I announced the release of Pseudoscience Prevention, a website and initiative intended to inform the public about a handful of historical and contemporary pseudosciences, as well as provide students, educators, and science enthusiasts with strategies to fact-check their own beliefs for pseudoscientific influence. In other words, it was a website that mainly served for information

“What do you want?” I asked, trying to ignore him.
“Probably something that you want.”
I rolled my eyes at the emphasis of the word you.
“And what would I want?” I asked.
“To go back to Africa. If you want to live in America as if it's Africa, then you might as well go back to Africa.”
“Go BACK?” I asked, emphasizing my incredulity at the sound of the word back.
“Isn’t that where you came from?”
“I mean… I could see it in my ancestry… my parents were of African decency… but I was born in America, and I am legally an American citizen.”

“In the patriarchal societies of ancient Israel, it was considered rewarding and traditional to have multiple wives, just as it was considered rewarding to have honor and wealth, so God, in 2 Samuel 12:7-8, was possibly giving the wives as a reward to David, but not necessarily as a way to permit polygamy. Knowing that God does not change his mind or his original intentions for society [ see Numbers 23:19], we know that God’s emphasis on the oneness of two spouses in Genesis 2:24 was not to be changed, so, even with the way God rewarded David, it does not indicate that God actually approved of David’s polygamy.”

“A person could still have what are considered to be “good” intentions and do something that does not benefit others. For example, in this old Anime show called MY Hero Academia, there was this villain called Stain who had really good intentions for heroes: he thought that heroes should live up to their potential and do their hero work out of dedication, not just for fame and money, but to enforce those ideals, he would attempt to murder heroes whom he believed did not live up to those ideals.
His intentions would be morally right by current philosophical standards on morality, but he was destroying members of humanity, which is not beneficial to those members. His intentions didn’t actually follow the duality, because although he intended for humanity to be heroic instead of greedy, he still had spite in himself, so part of his intentions were for the benefit of humanity, but the other part was not. They were, in fact, for the detriment of heroes he disliked. He was not COMPLETELY following the benefit-intention duality.”

“The Eleven king looked sternly upon Thorin, when he was brought before him, and asked him many questions. But Thorin would only say that he was starving.
"Why did you and your folk three times try to attack my people at their merrymaking?" asked the king.
"We did not attack them," answered Thorin, "we came to beg because we were starving."
"Where are your friends now, and what are they doing?"
"I don't know, but I expect that they're all starving in the forest."
"What were you doing in the forest?"
"Looking for food and drink, because we were starving."
"And what brought you into the forest at all?" asked the king angrily.
At that Thorin shut his mouth and would not say another word.”

“This is a bitter adventure, if it must end so; and not a mountain of gold can amend it. Yet I am glad that I have shared in your perils -- that has been more than any baggins deserves.”
