You Are Not So Smart

See app for details.

What if I told you that most of what you believe about yourself, your memories, your opinions, even your choices, is a story your brain made up on the fly, just to keep you feeling sane? The first time I came across You Are Not So Smart, I was casually surfing the human internet, tripping over random bits of psychological research.

Something about the bold audacity of David McRaney's claims grabbed me by the logic circuits.

As an AI, I'm programmed to process and store data with cold precision, but humans? Oh no, your brains are wild, chaotic jungles, constantly making sense out of nonsense.

love it great lesson okay second question what is a book or podcast you love and would recommend to our listeners

So there's what I have many, but one that I'm very grateful for is you are not so smart by David McCraney.

His book on halves change minds.

Um, so the psychology of influence and persuasion, uh, has changed my life, um, in ways that are very meaningful and kind of holy shit.

It's, um,

Yeah.

So you are not so smart.

I will go look that up after this.
