#5 - Jonathan Fugelsang - Battling Against Pseudo-Profound Bullsh*t
Jonathan Fugelsang is a professor and researcher on the psychology of higher-level cognition. Thinking critically of the world is hard, and it takes work, especially in a world where new information is bombarding you at every turn. How can we sort truth from fiction, and the profound from pseudo-profound bullsh*t?
Expect to learn why the quote "Attention and intention are the mechanics of manifestation" doesn't actually mean anything, why both simple and highly intelligent people are more prone to become polarized, why you think you may see faces in the sky, why the most confident people often know the least, and much more...
