Episode notes

"We need a surf-padified discourse culture wherever it understands or at least most people many people understand this is what's going on we need to transcend that," says Pascal. "I do see a lot of quite frankly shocking takes on social media but instead of engaging with them I don't say anything because I tried to engage and it made this a given worse"

When facing a novel and uncertain situation, the brain secretly disambiguates the ambiguous without letting you know it was ever uncertain in the first place, leading people who disambiguate differently to seem iNsAnE.

This episode is about why we so often don't understand why we disagree, which leads us to disagree even more, and we explore that through the science behind The Dress. We look into why some people see it as black and blue, others see it as white and gold, and how the scientific investigation of why that is led to the scientific investigation of socks and Crocs, and how the scientific investigation of socks and Crocs may be, as one researcher explains, the nuclear bomb of cognitive neuroscience.
