Randy knew it was bulshet, but he still had a lot of phenomena to explain. He would try to show how, through perfectly naturalistic means, he could achieve the same effect and fool the same psychologists into believe that. And these guys, i think one of the more interesting parts of this documentary is when these guys start actually feeling bad about it,. It's not a one time thing. This goes on for like, a couple of years.
David and Tamler return after an end of summer hiatus to finally talk about the ethics of deception….eventually. But first they break down a recent article in the journal Science documenting an attempt to replicate 100 recent psychology experiments. What does it mean that just over 1/3 of the studies were successfully replicated? Is social psychology in crisis or is this just how science works? Will David somehow try to pin the blame on philosophers?
Plus--a brief and almost certainly regrettable foray into the Ashley Madison hack, the neuroscience of lying to your kids about Santa, and we announce a new way to contact us to help celebrate our 75th anniversary.
