Welcome to the Mindlift Philosophy Podcast! In this episode, we delve into the world of education and sports, exploring how confirmation bias and social media hype can influence our perceptions.

First, we tackle the topic of RateMyProfessor, a popular website where students can rate and review their professors. We examine the potential benefits and drawbacks of such a platform, and consider how confirmation bias can affect the ratings and reviews.

Next, we shift our focus to sports, specifically the TCU Bowl Game. We discuss how social media hype and marketing can create unrealistic expectations for a game, and how this can ultimately impact the players and the outcome of the game.

Finally, we take a look at some of the worst games in history and examine why they were so bad. We explore how confirmation bias and hype can lead to disappointment, and how our expectations can influence our enjoyment of a game.
