Episode notes

We've often shunned and shamed people who have warned us of looming disaster. Why do human beings who care about their survival ignore warnings of doom? We're going to dive into greek mythology and talk about a doomed prophet. The lessons from her story still resignate to day. You're listening to hidden br i'm shanker vidant support for hidden brain comes from logita.

When disaster strikes — from the explosion of a space shuttle to the spread of a deadly virus — we want to know whether we could have avoided catastrophe. Did anyone speak up with concerns about the situation? And if so, why didn’t someone listen? This week, we revisit a favorite episode about the psychology of warnings, and how we can all become better at predicting the future.
