How do we change our minds? What made a prominent conspiracy-theorist YouTuber finally see that 9/11 was not a hoax? How does a voter’s opinions shift from neutral to resolute? Science journalist David McRaney and philosopher of mind Marc Slors take us on a journey through our stubborn minds, encountering cult members, conspiracy theorists, and political activists along the way. How does the group you belong to influence what you believe? Why do we hold on to some beliefs so firmly, while we willingly let go of others? And what is a belief in the first place? Listen and find out.
