Why people believe weird things {AUDIO}

Posted by Jordan, 04 Jun

We all have our beliefs. Chances are at some point in your life you have believed in things that you can’t really explain logically. Whether it's religion, conspiracy theories, or unquestioning adherence to a political party, we’re all susceptible to blind belief in something. It happens even to the smartest of us.

Joining us today in this podcast is Michael Shermer, founder of Skeptic magazine and a number of books on the nature of belief to discuss why people are hard-wired to believe weird things. Shermer is also the Director of The Skeptics Society, a non-profit dedicated to the promotion of science, reason, and critical thinking.

    Believe weird things? You mean like those crazies who actually are gullible enough to believe that the 2020 election was stolen from an unfit, racist, incompetent, corrupt former president?

Coaching Testimonial

"My online love inspiration angel"

Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.

I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.

BOY WAS I WRONG!!

I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).

She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.

She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
