This week on the You Are Not So Smart Podcast we talk about a cookie that went on a walkabout and returned with a lifetime of stories. Plus, Sarah Hendrickson talks about her new book which is coming out soon. We also look at how you can help keep our show going by becoming a patron or paying to see us live.
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.
