Episode description
How do you know what you "know" is true? This episode explores Sanity from the lens of General Semantics (how we translate events into perceptions). We speak about the "Chain of Perception", insanity vs. creativity, the basis of propaganda, why smart people believe dumb things, building a "efficient nervous system", liberal and conservative fallacies, and the work of Alfred Korzybski.
