À propos de ce contenu audio
The "Intelligence Trap," a phenomenon where cognitive prowess actually fuels irrationality. Our guests argue that motivated reasoning allows smart people to build elaborate intellectual defenses for their biases. Instead of using logic to find the truth, we often use it to protect our "Idols" and maintain the comfortable illusion of being right. Why should you listen to this Podcast, because:
Smart People are Better Liars: Realize that your brain is primarily a lawyer, not a scientist; it wants to win the argument, not find the truth.
The Sophistication Gap: The more articulate you are, the easier it is to deceive yourself with complex language (Bacon's Idols of the Marketplace).
The Only Antidote: To escape the trap, you must cultivate "Intellectual Humility"—the active search for how you might be wrong, despite how "right" it feels.
