edit data

I am a philosopher and my goal is to write books that engage our minds and connect with issues that we all care about. In my non-fiction, I am particularly interested in defending science against all forms of science denial and post-truth. In my fiction, I seek to raise moral questions that push us to the limit of what we would do to protect the people we love. It gets me excited when I reach an audience who may never have thought they would like philosophy, but it speaks to them. These days I still do some philosophical scholarship--and I teach ethics--but most days I can be found at my desk writing, with two big German Shepherds snoring at my feet.

Quotes by Lee McIntyre (?)

“Our inherent cognitive biases make us ripe for manipulation and exploitation by those who have an agenda to push, especially if they can discredit all other sources of information.”

“When the mistakes fall disproportionately on one side, it is no respect for the notion of truth to pretend that everything is even.”

“Quizá sea tan difícil que un negacionista de la ciencia cambie de opinión a base de evidencia porque, en cierto sentido, la evidencia no es realmente lo que fundamenta sus creencias. Puede que el contenido de la creencia no sea tan importante como la identidad social que proporciona.

Hay poderosas fuerzas cognitivas que nos seducen haciéndonos creer lo que queremos creer, lo que la gente que está a nuestro alrededor —aquellos a quienes conocemos y en quienes confiamos— quiere que creamos”
― Lee McIntyre, Cómo hablarle a un negacionista de la ciencia: Conversaciones con terraplanistas, negacionistas del cambio climático y otros interlocutores en contra de la razón

Thanks Lee.

When you check out the Isabel Dalhousie series, you might look at the author bio too. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show.... Wikipedia gives a little more on his bioethics career. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexa...

Best wishes on the success of your novel.
