Cognitive scientist Andy Norman outlines a new approach to our world's misinformation problem: one centered on the idea that minds have “immune systems” of their own.

With social media and AI, bad actors weaponize information and stress democracy. We have two options: stop the lies or stop people from believing them. The former is near impossible in a free society, but there's solid evidence the latter is achievable. I talk w/ two founders of The Mental Immunity Project, ANDY NORMAN, author of MENTAL IMMUNITY, and MELANIE TRECEK-KING, creator of THINKING IS POWER, an online resource that teaches critical thinking to the general public.

In this episode I want to return to the theme of critical thinking. How can we teach people to immunize their minds? In the past I've interviewed two of the co-founders of the Mental Immunity Project, Andy Norman and Lee McIntyre to get their feedback on how to fight the pandemic of misinformation and disinformation that we are fed on social media. The Mental Immunity Project is an effort to vaccinate the minds of the public against viral misinformation. Today I'm interviewing the third co-founder of the project to learn about her work in fighting for a Rational View. Melanie Trecek-King is the creator of Thinking Is Power, an online critical thinking resource. She is an Associate Professor of Biology at Massasoit Community College, where she teaches a general-education science course designed to teach critical thinking, information literacy, and science literacy.  As a speaker and consultant, she promotes her "teach skills, not facts" approach to fellow science educators, and assists organizations in achieving their goals through better thinking. The enthusiastic support of my listeners is what keeps me pumping out new and interesting content.

The media has already begun priming the pump for the 2024 election cycle in the US. Swaying the average American to believe one thing over another will be the target of billions of dollars of advertising spending. Will all of the information we are exposed to be true? Probably not, but how do we know? What can we do to build our mental immunity and critical thinking skills? To discover how we can protect and preserve humanity when faced with misinformation, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with author, researcher, and founder of the Cognitive Immunology Research Collaborative (CIRCE), Dr. Andy Norman. Andy and Lisa delve into what to expect from their new collaborative effort to tone our mental muscles through the Mental Immunity Project. They also discuss how to discern false narratives, how to have open and compassionate conversations, and ten rules of thumb to make the mind less susceptible to misinformation, all just in time for the deluge of political rhetoric on the horizon.

Much of our language these days carries with it an unspoken message — an undertone of an individualistic, self-serving, perhaps even entitled mindset about not just our actions, but our beliefs and opinions.   But what of our responsibilities to others? Do those even exist? Or, what of our responsibilities to question ourselves? Is that a thing?   In this episode, I welcome back Andy Norman. Andy was my guest back in episode 65 when we discussed his book, Mental Immunity, and he's the Co-Founder and CEO of The Mental Immunity Project.   Andy and I discuss belief attachment and its role in driving us to be more unthinkingly binary in how we view complex issues and indiscriminately suspicious of new ideas.   What Andy advocates for is what he calls “shades of gray thinking” as a way to invite in nuance and dig out of a binary mindset where you're forced to have all the answers all the time (which, by the way, simply isn't possible).   At the core of Andy's message is a call to hold onto beliefs lightly and be willing to challenge them, not to necessarily prove yourself wrong, but to be more adept at recognizing when and why your capacity to think critically might be weakened or perhaps even intentionally hijacked.   Check out Andy's work at https://andynorman.org/ and https://mentalimmunityproject.org/, and take the Mental Immunity challenge at https://mentalimmunityproject.org/mi-challenge/. 

On episode 180, we welcome Andy Norman to discuss the principles of mental immunity, how ideas spread like viruses, why critics of the paradigm believe the fear of widespread misinformation is another overblown moral panic, learning how to play role of devil's advocate effectively and ethically, how gurus and cult leaders attract their audience, whether we should debate fringe theorists, Alen's tendency to empathize with every perspective and how doing so hurts and helps him, if people like RFK Jr are genuine truth-seekers, and how reframing debates as dialogues helps foster collective inquiry and knowledge. Andy Norman teaches philosophy and directs the Humanism Initiative at Carnegie Mellon University. He is also known for his guest appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience and the Michael Shermer Show.

Dr. Andy Norman, PhD, is the award-winning author of ‘Mental Immunity: Infectious Ideas, Mind-Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think'. Andy and I are kindred spirits; both fascinated with the vastness of the human mind and this chat is hands-down in my top twenty TYP episodes. I recently listened to him chat with Joe Rogan for over three hours (and was totally captivated), so to spend an hour with him exploring topics and ideas that fascinate me, was a privilege. We spoke about mental immunity and mind parasites (of course), confirmation bias, the impossibility of (total) objectivity, conspiracy theories, the idea of truth, identity protective cognition (it's a thing), what fear does to our thinking, the wisdom of the Stoics, the costs and benefits of fitting in and lots more.

What is true is not always what some choose to believe. There are some people who subscribe to the ignorance is bliss philosophy and others have difficulty discerning which information is born in conspiracy or in science. To gain a better understanding of those who wish to remain passionately ignorant and willfully disinformed, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors who specialize in the science of the mind. In Andy Norman's book, Mental Immunity: Infectious Ideas, Mind Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think, he examines what makes some groups more susceptible to mind ‘bugs' and mental hijacking. His cognitive hygiene concept offers mental immunity to those who prefer to think rationally and want to protect themselves from conspiracy theories. Sociologist Renata Salecl shares the core theme of her book, Passion for Ignorance: What We Choose Not to Know and Why. Her research studies why in this modern age of big data, genetics, and neuroscience people still choose to be ignorant about things that affect them and their health.

Series wrap up on Andy Norman and his book, Mental Immunity. Here I bring on my frequent co-host, Tom Ziglar, CEO of Ziglar and son to Zig Ziglar, to talk about this concept of how we view our beliefs. What came out on the discussion was a question of what is more important. Our beliefs, or relationships? In our culture now that is arguing and polarizing about beliefs, what we most have is just a fight from two warring sides. And how similar is it often in our personal relationships? No one is considering the other, they are just arguing their side. Without putting the relationship first, it's hard to find validity for even making an effort. We lead off discussing a Facebook post Tom made after listening to my initial talk with Andy in episodes 1033, where Tom said, "To reject unconditional love is to embrace hate." Think about that? As you're about to hear, this was from talking about how we view and fight for our beliefs. You'll want to hear more and see how you feel about the statement.

I'm back with Andy Norman to walk through his personal values, motives, and habits in the key areas of life fulfillment so we can hear what has driven and does drive him to help us create mental immunity and consider our beliefs, and design a life that fulfills him. Previously in episode 1033 we talked about the message in Andy's book,  Mental Immunity: Infectious Ideas, Mind-Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think. Andy is striving to help people develop immunity to bad ideas, and my focus with him was looking at how we define and embrace our beliefs. Here we cover Andy's personal values and habits. The very things from which his own beliefs are derived from. He discusses how he sifts his own ideas through a filter of asking if it's actually useful or true. Relationally he talks about “emotional dislocation” and we banter a bit about the issue of “objective reality.” Spiritually he cites his upbringing simply expected a devotion to serve a greater good and this still guides him today.

I grew up with very strong beliefs and I viewed being resolute and concrete in them as a strength. In our culture today we see this played out every moment of every day as the media pits one side against the other and everyone's belief as right or wrong, even to the point of the other side as being flat out evil. Social media isn't a place of consideration, but of unabashed opinionating. In this episode I'm with Andy Norman, a PhD who is the award-winning author of Mental Immunity: Infectious Ideas, Mind-Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think. His work has appeared in Scientific American, Psychology Today, Skeptic, Free Inquiry, and The Humanist. He has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, public radio, and The BBC's Naked Scientist. His research is on the emerging science of mental immunity as the antidote to disinformation, propaganda, hate, and division. Bottom line, Andy is striving to help people develop immunity to bad ideas. My focus is really on the harm we do to ourselves and others when we are so rigid in our beliefs we won't consider anyone who differs. Andy showcases how many, if not most of our beliefs, are more tied to our self-image than truth, and how this hurts us and everyone else. It's ok to have strong beliefs, but if you feel strong in them and it's not just to support your personal bias, then wouldn't you be strong enough to allow someone to explain their differing beliefs and actually seek to understand them? Even if you don't change your belief, you are showcasing it by being willing to understand another side. And in doing so, you'll help your own peace of mind and build better relationships.

In this episode I speak with Andy Norman, public philosopher and author of, "Mental Immunity: Infectious Ideas, Mind-Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think," whose through line and wakeup call was going into philosophy because he was fascinated about the difference between human wisdom and foolishness. https://andynorman.org/mental-immunity

My guest today is Dr Andy Norman, who is the award-winning author of ‘Mental Immunity: Infectious Ideas, Mind-Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think'. His research illuminates the evolutionary origins of human reasoning, the norms that make dialogue fruitful, and the workings of the mind's immune system. He champions the emerging science of mental immunity as the antidote to disinformation, propaganda, hate, and division. Currently, Andy directs the Humanism Initiative at Carnegie Mellon University and is the founder of CIRCE, the Cognitive Immunology Research Collaborative.  Some of the topics we covered include: Andy's entry into philosophy The mind's ‘immune system' Definition of ‘mind parasites' Manipulation gone to scale Simple conspiracy vs complex reality The challenge of debating against conspiratorial thinking The incentives that fuel misinformation How to prevent mind infections Determining whether a belief is ‘reasonable' Evolutionary origins of our capacity to ‘reason' Dangers of confirmation bias Factors that make us vulnerable to ‘mind parasites' The dangers of hitching belief to identity Developing a ‘mind vaccine' The ‘New Socratic Method' During the show, Andy and I discussed a paper he wrote in response to Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber's book ‘The Enigma of Reason'. You can download that paper here. ----- If you like what you hear, please consider liking and reviewing the show wherever you get your pods.

There may not be a time in history where we need to be more conscious of ethical and philosophical thinking than right now. We have so much division that, no matter what you think, it feels impossible to talk about anything of substance without the risk of ending relationships. But the thing is, philosophy is all about taking big ideas, controversial ideas, and purposefully seeking out dissenting information.  My guest today, Andy Norman, is trying to bring this concept to the masses. We discuss how to find the validity in an idea, how to challenge your own ideas and those others hold, and raising a new generation of critical thinkers.  Please enjoy this intuitive and intellectual discussion. It's not what you'd usually hear on the show, but I can't think of a more important conversation to be had today.  In This Conversation We Cover:  [02:47] How philosophy can help us avoid bad ideas [09:40] Challenging people's ideas [14:18] Talking around triggering topics [22:48] Having philosophical conversations with defensive people [36:00] Helping kids to think critically [42:54] How our past experiences alter our current thinking [53:32] Rapid-fire questions Resources: https://andynorman.org/ (andynorman.org) Read: http://www.harperwave.com/mi (Mental Immunity) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andynormanauthor (@andynormanauthor) Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

What you are about to hear is quite possibly the most difficult conversation I've ever had. So much so that I almost didn't do it.   But that's what makes it so good.   My guest this week is Andy Norman. Andy is an author, researcher, and philosopher who believes we can inoculate our minds against bad ideas. And Andy is an atheist. And I? I am a Christian.   What you're about to hear is an example of how two people with very opposite viewpoints can come together and have a conversation where they strongly disagree, yet leave the conversation with an immense amount of respect shared between them.   Connect with Andy at https://andynorman.org and at https://cognitiveimmunology.net.

Andy Norman is a public philosopher and an award winning author of the book “Mental Immunity”. This week he introduces all of us to a new concept that can help us explain some of society's recent serious issues. Fake News, conspiracy theories, and all around complete nonsense all have something in common. A lack of critical thinking. Listen to find out Andy Norman's take on how we got here, and how we can get out of it.

35. Andy Norman: Researcher / Mental Immunity & the Search for a Better Way to Think In this episode of Live Life in Motion, I talk with Andy Norman. Andy is an award-winning author, public philosopher, and prominent advocate for the field of “cognitive immunology,” which studies the mind's resistance to bad ideas. In this conversation you will learn how mental immunity works, how epidemics of irrationality occur, and how present cultural conditions exacerbate the spread of bad ideas by compromising our mental faculties, exploiting loopholes in the evidentiary chain of reasoning that most of us rely on in order to assess, accept, or reject claims and assertions. Whether we're talking about the spread of baseless online conspiracies, increased political polarization, or the bewildering popularity of cancel culture, rethinking and reforming our approach to inquiry and dialectic is urgently needed.

Despite our access to information (or because of it?) bad ideas spread faster than ever. Andy Norman's new book, Mental Immunity, seeks to give readers tools to strengthen their mental immunity so they're less likely to become unwitting hosts to self-perpetuating and potentially harmful ideas.
