Why Everything You Believe Is Wrong w/ Dr. Matt Briggs
Matt Briggs, statistician to the stars, returns to the podcast to discuss his upcoming book Everything You Believe Is Wrong (pre-order now!). "Here," as Matt explains, "is a small sample of things that majority of educated believe are false, but which are instead true: Science cannot answer every question put to it; It is not always right to correct a wrong; There is no wisdom in crowds; A consensus among elite academics does not prove the belief of the elite academics is true; That you are offended is irrelevant to whether a proposition is true or false; Defining yourself as your sexual desire is nonsensical; Voting does not make the majority position right and the minority position wrong; Voting is a leading cause of discord; Democracy is rarely to be desired; You cannot choose to believe you do not have free will; God exists."
