In this episode we examine the trial of O. J. Simpson, specifically how as humans we respond and believe STORIES... not FACTS.

We would like to believe ourselves as RATIONAL beings that act according to knowledge, facts, truth.

 But we are far from rational…

If we were rational no one would smoke, sit for long hours, or eat products containing MSG.

But we aren’t rational. We don’t follow the FACTS.

We arrange the facts to tell ourselves stories that we like. Stories that make up feel good…

Or . . . stories that align with the stories we have been told for generations regardless of the FACTS.

For more info on the OJ Simpson Trial, and other trials where STORIES overruled the FACTS read: Ten Great American Trials by Glenn Altschuler.
