The Hidden Obvious
from Path of Wellness · host Craig Pearlberg
When something is happening that doesn’t make sense, your brain will often just make something up to explain it. One of the brain’s most important jobs, actually, is to put a story together that you can and will believe…no matter what the truth really is. And the shock of being caught in a candid camera joke, with clearly obvious clues being still so hidden and denied, has stayed with me for over 20 years.
