8. The Power of Lightly-Held Beliefs
Manage episode 377428149 series 3512890
What makes a good skeptic? Is it dismissing things that don't conform to your own beliefs about how the world should work from a scientific perspective? Or is there a more nuanced approach that allows you to -- occasionally-- change your mind? This episode is about how I think we should all take a step backward and realize that much of what we think we know about the world is probably wrong, anyway.
Book Reference:
Carl Sagan (1996) "The Demon-Haunted World"
