(Ep. 147) Dan Simons & Christopher Chabris: You can't fool me
IN EPISODE 147:
We've all been the target of a scam, fraud, or con - but we also allow ourselves to become the source. In Episode 147, Dan Simons and Christopher Chabris teach us the habits and hooks that make us more susceptible to bad actors and information. You'll learn why people spread misinformation without even realizing it, how our memories play a role in self-deception, the words and phrases that signal potential fraud, and the questions we can ask others and ourselves to stay alert. Even the best of us can fall for frauds - but after listening to Dan and Christopher, you'll be prepared to fight back.
