(S1, E18) The Psychological Trap Only Intelligent People Fall Into
#Psychology #CognitiveBias #CriticalThinking
The smarter you are, the more likely you fall into this psychological trap. Your intelligence makes it harder to escape.
Full Description:
There's a psychological trap that only affects intelligent people - and the smarter you are, the more vulnerable you become. This cognitive bias makes your own intelligence work against you, creating blind spots that are nearly impossible to see.
In this video, you'll discover:
✓ Why intelligent people are MORE susceptible to certain cognitive biases
✓ The unconscious algorithm your brain runs to protect your ego
✓ How to identify beliefs you hold for emotional reasons (disguised as logic)
✓ A simple weekly practice to develop conscious believing
✓ The 3 questions that expose hidden motivations behind your beliefs
✓ Why being curious beats being right every time
The Psychology Behind Smart People's Blind Spots:
Confirmation bias in high-IQ individuals
How intelligence can reinforce existing beliefs
The difference between conscious and unconscious believing
Why questioning yourself is harder than questioning others
Practical Exercises Included:
The Weekly Belief Check technique
The Generosity Test for disagreements
The Identity vs. Reality assessment
How to spot emotional motivations disguised as logic
This isn't about becoming less intelligent - it's about using your intelligence more effectively. Learn to hold beliefs consciously rather than unconsciously, and discover what changes when you stop needing to be right.
