Science Blind
Why Our Intuitive Theories About the World Are So Often Wrong
Book •
Science Blind explores why people stick to intuitive theories of the world that are obviously wrong, even though we know they're wrong.
It is inspired by a desire to figure out why smart people believe weird things.
It examines why people believe in crazy, supernatural ideas, or even religious ideas that just don't have any empirical grounding.
It shows that children have trouble differentiating, you know, things that could actually happen that are truly possible from things that are truly impossible.
