Michael Shermer (@michaelshermer) is the founder of Skeptic magazine and several books on the nature of belief. He’s the Director of The Skeptics Society, a non-profit dedicated to the promotion of science, reason, and critical thinking. He joins us to discuss why people believe weird things. [This is a rebroadcast that originally aired in 2016.]

What We Discuss with Michael Shermer:

  • How do beliefs form and persist even when we know they’re wrong?
  • Why do skeptics (and restaurant owners) scowl at the mention of Uri Geller?
  • Why are smart people even more susceptible to faulty beliefs?
  • How do our genes influence our political and religious beliefs?
  • What’s the difference between a skeptic and a cynic?
  • And much more...
