Episode notes
Certainty as a Sensation
- Certainty is a biological sensation, not a conscious conclusion.
- The "feeling of knowing" arises involuntarily and feels like a conclusion when it is not.
Why Minds Rarely Change
- People rarely change views based on better evidence alone.
- Mind changing usually happens through personal experiences or epiphanies, not logic or facts.
Unconscious Brain Calculations
- Most brain calculations occur unconsciously, and consciousness only receives the output.
- The sensation of certainty is independent of conscious thought, making knowing a feeling, not reasoning.
