EPISODE 98 | Smoke & Mirrors: Unintentional Dangers and Slow Thinking (Because Reasons 8)
Guest: Kent Weishaus, licensed clinical social worker, author of Stop Breaking Down: The Secret to Avoiding Overwhelm and Crack-Up
Why are there so many adherents to conspiracy theories these days? What are the mechanisms that encourage people to latch onto a particular narrative?
We are modern creatures with out-dated brains. Clinical social worker (and former TV guy) Kent Weishaus talks about various theories and cognitive biases, and champions slow thinking in an age that seems too fast for our minds to keep pace with.
