On each episode of You Are Not So Smart podcast, I eat a cookie baked from a recipe sent in by you. By someone out there who's a fan of the show, sending us a recipe, you can send that to David at youarenotsosmart.com. And if we used the recipe that you sent in, you would get a signed copy of The You are Not So Smart book or the sequel You Are Now Less Dumb. This episode's cookie is one of my favorites and has been requested many times for my co-workers and family members. Enjoy.
If you try to correct someone who you know is wrong, you run the risk of alarming their brains to a sort-of existential, epistemic threat, and if you do that, when that person expends effortful thinking to escape, that effort can strengthen their beliefs instead of weakening them.
In this episode you'll hear from three experts who explain why trying to correct misinformation can end up causing more harm than good.
