21. Is Luck a Religion? (w/ Bertie)
In this episode, Connor and Bertie discuss the similarities between religious belief and more colloquial beliefs like fate, luck and the paranormal.
As we drink more scrumpy, we attempt to parameterise religiosity and delve into the psychology of superstition. Then conversation takes us into our own gambling experiences, genies, biblical scripture, logical fallacies, self-fulfilling prophecies, Hindu gods and fortune telling.
