Common Knowledge, Smart Genes & Why Not Every Voice Deserves a Platform

from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at how “common knowledge” shapes our individual lives and societies, exploring why what everyone knows that everyone knows can influence everything from politics to personal decisions. Then we discussed why your genes are not enough to explain how smart you are — and what new science says about the environment’s role in intelligence. Today's unpopular opinion was “Not every voice or person deserves to be heard.” In the show’s second half, we asked 100 humans to name something people choose to ignore — and the answers revealed more about human nature than you might expect.
