He is best known for the satirical essay &quot;Zen... and the Art of Debunkery,&quot; and is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Zen... and the Art of Debunkery==<br /> &quot;Zen... and the Art of Debunkery&quot; began as a paper Drasin delivered at a conference of the International Association for New Science in 1991, and was subsequently revised and expanded in later editions. Written as an ironic &quot;how-to&quot; guide for would-be debunkers, the piece uses satire to criticize what Drasin characterizes as &quot;pathological skepticism,&quot; arguing that dismissive tactics are sometimes substituted for genuine scientific inquiry when unorthodox claims are evaluated. The essay has circulated widely on skepticism and fringe-science websites and remains his most frequently reproduced work.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://amasci.com/pathskep.html &quot;Zen... and the Art of Debunkery&quot; (amasci.com)]<br /> * [https://skepticalaboutskeptics.org/examining-skeptics/daniel-drasin-zen-and-the-art-of-debunkery/ Daniel Drasin profile at Skeptical About Skeptics]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Drasin Daniel]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
