25x: Why Do We Believe What We Believe?

from Naked Humanity · host Stefani Ruper

You might THINK that objectivity exists and that you rationally find your way to truth with the powers of pure reason, but in this episode Stefani demonstrates why that’s false. Philosopher David Hume hinted at this reality a few hundred years ago, but it wasn’t until very recently that neuroscientists have begun to explore how deeply intertwined thoughts and emotions are. Why do we believe what we believe? Because knowing is a feeling.
