Vale, vamos a desgranar esto. Hoy nos enfrentamos a lo que, bueno, probablemente sea la carga psicológica más silenciosa y pesada de nuestra eram hablo de la trampa de la comparación moderna. Hoy en día, esa sensación persistente de no ser suficiente, eh, de ir siempre un paso por detrás del resto del mundo parece casi universal. Totalmente. Da la impresión de que sin importar el esfuerzo o los logros que uno vaya acumulando, la línea de meta siempre se aleja un poco más. se desplaza constantemente. Sí, exacto. Así que para entender exactamente de dónde viene esta frustración estructural y lo más importante, cómo escapar de ella, hoy vamos a realizar un análisis a fondo de un material que la verdad yo considero realmente revelador y lo es sin duda. Se trata de un extracto clave del influyente libro 12 reglas para vivir del psicólogo Jordan B. Peterson. En concreto, nos vamos a sumergir de lleno en la regla número cuatro, la de compararse con quién uno era. Esa misma la premisa dice literalmente, compárate con quién eras ayer, no con quién otro es hoy. Y la misión de este inmersión de hoy es desarticular el mecanismo. Claro. La misión de este análisis a fondo es desarticular desde la raíz toda esa mecánica psicológica y neurológica que empuja a la mente de forma casi inevitable hacia la envidia y la insatisfacción. Eso es. Queremos explorar cómo la propia percepción visual miente constantemente, literalmente como el cerebro censura al mundo que nos rodea y a partir de ahí trazar un plan de escape utilizando lo que el texto llama el interés compuesto del progreso personal. Es un texto fascinante porque entrelaza, a ver, entrelaza la biología evolutiva con la psicología clínica, pero al final ofrece herramientas increíblemente pragmáticas para reorganizar el día a día. Muy pragmáticas, sí. Nada de conceptos abstractos, inalcanzables. Ya. Y para que quede claro desde el principio que este no es el típico análisis predecible y aburrido. Vamos a adelantar que la clave maestra para entender toda esta frustración diaria incluye a un gorila invisible. Un gorila, sí. Y a un mimo cantando la canción Endless Love con un par de manoplas de horno puestas. Suena a locura absoluta. Madre mía, suena a delirio total. Pero prometo a quien nos esté escuchando que es una conexión que tiene todo el sentido del mundo cuando se examina de cerca. Lo tiene, lo tiene. Para empender el síndrome del héroe local. Las fuentes explican que la psiqui humana no evolucionó para el mundo en el que vivimos hoy. Claro, el desfase evolutivo. Eso es. Antiguamente, cuando la inmensa mayoría de la población vivía en entornos rurales, en tribus o en pueblos pequeños, destacar en algo era una meta estadísticamente razonable. Había un rey del baile local, una genio de las matemáticas en la escuela de la comarca o el mecánico estrella del pueblo al que todos respetaban. Estas personas eran los héroes locales y sus cerebros recibían una recompensa biológica constante por ello. Y esa recompensa biológica es fundamental para entender el problema real de hoy. No estamos hablando de una simple palmadita en la espalda a nivel social. No, no estamos hablando de neuroquímica pura, específicamente de la serotonina. El cerebro humano poseae en su base una especie de digamos calculadora ancestral, una calculadora de estatus, ¿verdad? Exacto. Es un sistema de control maestro muy antiguo a nivel evolutivo que evalúa de forma ininterrumpida nuestra posición en la jerarquía social local. Ya cuando esta calculadora percibe que el entorno valora a un individuo que es competente y respetado en su comunidad, pues libera serotonina. Este neurotransmisor es el que hace que uno se sienta seguro, permite caminar erguido, reduce la ansiedad y aporta una sensación de calma existencial. Y el sistema funcionaba a la perfección porque el grupo de control era pequeño. Claro, de unas 100 o 200 personas como máximo. Pero a ver, siendo justos, y yo creo que esto es algo que mucha gente se preguntará, ¿no? Es esa presión evolutiva por competir y destacar algo útil. Es decir, si el ser humano no se comparara con los mejores de su entorno y no sintiera esa punzada de envidia o ambición, quizá la especie seguiría viviendo en las cavernas. Fíjate que esa es una distinción crucial. La competencia es el motor del progreso. Sin duda alguna. El texto no ataca la competencia en sí. El problema no es la brújula, ¿vale? El problema es que hemos introducido esa brújula en un campo magnético artificial enorme que la ha vuelto completamente loca. Y ahí es donde el contraste moderno resulta devastador. El mundo hiperconectado, eso es la migración masiva a las grandes urbes y sobre todo la omnipresencia de internet han erradicado esa paz local. Las jerarquías sociales en las que el cerebro intenta competir ya no son pirámides de tamaño humano, son inabarcables. Ahora son como un rayo láser hiperconectado que abarca el planeta entero. Pensemos en alguien joven que tiene un talento excepcional tocando la guitarra. Un genio de uno entre un millón. Exactamente. Históricamente este chaval habría sido la leyenda absoluta de su región. Hoy, al abrir una red social, descubre en 3 segundos que es solo uno más entre 50 prodigios idénticos o incluso superiores. Es brutal. La escala de la competencia ha mutado de una forma que esa calculadora de serotonina simplemente no puede procesar y por defecto ante esa inmensidad el cerebro nos sitúa en el fondo de la jerarquía global. Claro, el estanque se ha vuelto tan inmenso que todos nos sentimos como Plankoncton. Tal cual como Plankton. Y el texto señala que esta hiperconexión con es básicamente la gasolina perfecta para una voz crítica destructiva que todos albergamos. Ese crítico interno se alimenta de esta exposición global y vaya si se alimenta. Nos convence de que la vida es un juego de suma cero. Si alguien en el otro extremo del mundo tiene éxito, nosotros somos unos fracasados. Nos susurra que la mediocridad absoluta es nuestro estado natural. Sí, anula cualquier victoria. Porque como ahora mismo es posible encontrar en internet a alguien más rico, más atractivo, más en forma o más inteligente, De forma instantánea, cualquier logro personal que requerió meses de sudor parece repentinamente minúsculo. Es una dinámica verdaderamente demoledora. Lo fascinante aquí es como la psicología social reciente intentó lidiar con este colapso de la autoestima y cómo el autor del texto destroza esa supuesta solución. Ah, sí, la parte de las ilusiones. Eso es. Durante décadas, muchos expertos recomendaron la creación de lo que llamaban ilusiones positivas. La primisa era que, como la realidad objetiva de no ser el mejor del mundo, nada. Era demasiado dolorosa. La gente debía proteger su ego cultivando una autoimagen artificialmente inflada. Vamos a autoengañarse. Básicamente aconsejaban refugiarse bajo el paraguas de una mentira reconfortante para no colapsar psicológicamente. El análisis que estamos abordando rechaza esta idea de forma categórica y con razón. Argumenta que es una filosofía profundamente pesimista y cínica, ya que asume que la realidad es tan intrínicamente insoportable que la única forma de habitarles mediante la ficción. Claro, es que vivir en una ficción para soportar el peso del mundo no genera ninguna resiliencia, genera una fragilidad extrema ante cualquier fracaso real. Es equivalente a intentar curar una fractura de hueso tomando analgésicos y fingiendo que el hueso no está roto. Absolutamente. Ahora bien, si ese juego de la comparación, tal y como está montado hoy en día, es una trampa mortal y siempre se termina perdiendo, la gran pregunta que surge es bastante lógica. ¿Porque seguimos jugando? Exacto. ¿Por qué la mente humana se empeña en seguir jugando. ¿Por qué seguimos intentando medirnos con ese rayo láser global? Aquí es donde el texto introduce un cambio de paradigma total. Y es que simplemente estamos midiendo mal la estructura misma de la realidad. Caemos en la ilusión del tablero único. Eso es efectivamente ese crítico interno del que hablabas prospera gracias a la ilusión del juego único. Consigue convencernos de que la existencia es una sola competición unidimensional y lineal, donde el éxito se mide bajo un solo criterio. mente el poder adquisitivo, la fama o el estatus en redes sociales. Pero la realidad empírica es que la vida es una enorme multiplicidad de facetas. Hay infinidad de juegos disponibles en los que participar. Incontables. Existe el juego de ser una figura legal implacable, el juego de ser un artesano que restaura muebles antiguos o el juego de ser alguien volcado en la enseñanza. La gran ventaja evolutiva de esta multiplicidad es que si alguien fracasa estrepitosamente en una disciplina o descubre que esa dinámica le resulta tóxica, siempre conserva la libertad absoluta de cambiar de tablero y probar en otro ecosistema diferente. O mejor aún, como plantea la fuente, si uno no encuentra un juego en el que encaje, tiene la capacidad realmente nuevo. Y ahí es donde entra tu ejemplo favorito. Totalmente. Aquí es donde entra el ejemplo más surrealista de todo el material. Relata la anécdota de un concurso de talentos local donde apareció un participante haciendo de mimo. Pero no un mimo cualquiera. No, no, no era la típica Imitación aburrida en una plaza. Era un mimo meticulosamente caracterizado al estilo del legendario Marcel Marshow. El individuo sube al escenario, se sella la boca con cinta adhesiva plateada y con una seriedad pasmosa se enfunda dos gruesas manoplas de horno en las manos. Es una imagen tremenda. Acto seguido, utiliza esas manoplas de cocina a modo de marionetas para interpretar un dúo increíblemente dramático y sincronizado de la famosa balada Endless Love. Es visualmente absurdo, completamente absurdo. Pero encierra una lección vital. Cuando la originalidad es radicalmente individual y peculiar, el ser humano se sale del sistema de clasificación habitual. Es imposible comparar a ese individuo porque nadie más en el planeta Tierra estaba compitiendo en la categoría de mimos dramáticos cantando baladas con accesorios de cocina. Es una anécdota cómica, pero el trasfondo analítico es verdaderamente brillante. Demuestra que la hiperespecialización y la individualidad son antílotos directos contra la homogeneización del estatus global. Claro, te sales de la Exacto. Para aterrizar esto en la vida de una persona que nos pueda estar escuchando mientras va a la oficina o mientras hace la compra, el texto propone sustituir la visión de la vida como una carrera de 100 m lisos por la de un decatlón completo. Un Decathlon, esa es una alagogía estupenda. Una evaluación holística y madura de la existencia implica equilibrar múltiples frentes: el desarrollo profesional, la estabilidad familiar, la lealtad a las amistades, el compromiso con las aficiones, la salud mental y física. Son muchas pistas de atletismo a la vez. En un Decathlon, lo estadísticamente normal es ser sobresaliente en el lanzamiento de jabalina, mediocre en el salto de longitud y bastante torpe en la carrera de vallas. Nadie es perfecto en todas y cada una de las disciplinas. Y el problema fundamental es que el crítico interno hace trampa en esta competición. Lo que hace es aislar una sola de esas disciplinas del Decathlon, digamos, el éxito financiero. Luego escoge al mejor atleta del mundo en esa disciplina hiperespecífica y nos golpea en la cara con la comparación directa. y omite todo el contexto. Esa estrella inalcanzable a la que el crítico interno obliga a admirar podría estar liderando una empresa multimillonaria. Sí, pero al mismo tiempo podría estar atravesando un divorcio sumamente destructivo o sufriendo un aislamiento crónico o lidiando con adicciones severas. Es el clásico error de comparar los propios bastidores que están llenos de cables sueltos, improvisaciones y tomas falsas con la película final de la vida de los demás. Una película perfectamente evitada, iluminada y con banda sonor épica. Y aquí es donde la cosa se pone realmente interesante, fíjate, porque el autor da un salto vertiginoso desde la filosofía y la psicología social y nos sumerge de lleno en la neurofisiología de la visión. Esto es fascinante. Básicamente nos explica cómo nuestros propios ojos participan de forma activa en esta trampa de la comparación. Y para ilustrarlo, recupera el legendario experimento del gorila invisible, el de Daniel Simmons, el mismo, diseñado por el psicólogo cognitivo Daniel Simons. Para quien no lo conozca, el experimento consiste en un vídeo donde aparecen seis personas en una sala pequeña. Tres de ellas llevan camisetas blancas impolutas y las otras tres llevan camisetas negras. Y se están moviendo. Sí, se mueven de forma caótica en círculo pasándose un par de balones de baloncesto. La instrucción que se da a los espectadores antes de darle al play es directa y engañosamente simple. Les dicen, "Cuenten exactamente cuántos pases hace el equipo de la camiseta blanca e ignoren los pases del equipo de negro. Una tarea de atención selectiva clásica. La gente se concentra profundamente, sigue los balones con la mirada y al terminar el vídeo, la inmensa mayoridad da la respuesta correcta, que suele ser 15 pases. Pero el clímax del experimento llega inmediatamente después. Exacto. Cuéntalo tú porque es increíble. El investigador felicita a los participantes por su excelente nivel de atención y con total naturalidad les hace una segunda pregunta. Les dice, "¿Y qué opinan del gorila?" Y la gente se queda en blanco. La reacción general es de desconcierto absoluto. La de los participantes asegura tajantemente que no había ningún gorila en el vídeo, pero al reproducir el material por segunda vez, ahora sin la tarea de contar los pases, el resultado es sobrecogedor. Aparece de la nada. Justo en el segundo 25 del vídeo, una persona disfrazada con un traje de gorila de cuerpo entero entra caminando lentamente en la escena, atraviesa el grupo de jugadores, se detiene justo en el centro de la pantalla, se golpea el pecho mirando fijamente a la cámara y sale caminando por el lado opuesto. Es que está ahí un buen rato. Permanece en escena casi 10 segundos y un asombroso 50% de los observadores no registra su presencia en absoluto la primera vez. Es escalofriante pensar que algo tan enorme y tan absolutamente fuera de lugar pueda ser borrado de nuestra percepción de esa manera. Para quienes no superan la prueba, yo he leído que las sensaciones de incredulidad total llegan a pensar que les han cambiado la cinta por otra diferente en el segundo visionado. Yo quedé sorprend la primera vez que vi los datos. Si conectamos esto con el panorama general de nuestro análisis de hoy, la revelación científica es de una importancia colosal. El fenómeno se denomina ceguera por falta de atención sostenida. Ceguera por falta de atención o como se acuñó en rigurosos estudios alemanes sobre la percepción, el término es halalten de un ofxamites blind. Madre mía, con el alemán. Sí, impronunciable. Pero lo que esta condición demuestra, sin lugar a dudas, es que la visión humana no es una cámara de vídeo que graba pasiva y objetivamente el mundo. El sistema visual es una herramienta metabólicamente carísima. Gasta mucha energía. Procesar información visual en alta resolución requiere una cantidad enorme de recursos cerebrales. Para no colapsar y evitar morir de agotamiento, el cerebro funciona como un depredador. Literalmente solo vemos aquello a lo que apuntamos de forma activa y todo lo demás se descarta, se censura, se borra proactivamente para ahorrar recursos. El gorila negro se confunde con las camisetas negras que el cerebro tenía la orden estricta. de ignorar. O sea, que el acto de ver no consiste simplemente en abrir los ojos y recibir luz, sino en filtrar el 99% de la realidad. Vemos estrictamente lo que valoramos o lo que perseguimos en un momento determinado. Así es. Y las implicaciones vitales de este mecanismo fisiológico son formidables. Si el objetivo supremo de una persona está distorsionado por esa comparación global tóxica de la que hablábamos antes, digamos, si su meta es alcanzar el estatus prefabricado de un magnate de internet, su cerebro ajusta sus filtros visuales para rastrear solo esas métricas. Exactamente. Como consecuencia, esa persona se vuelve fisiológicamente ciega a las oportunidades reales de mejora que tiene a su alcance. Se vuelve ciega a las relaciones significativas que la rodean o a sus propios talentos innatos. Pasa el gorila y no lo ve. Esa ceguera no es un fallo del cerebro. Es la máquina funcionando perfectamente según los parámetros que se le han introducido. Por lo tanto, la conclusión lógica y radical de todo esto es que para cambiar lo que vemos en el mundo tenemos que intervenir de raíces nuestros sistemas de valores. Tonina, sí, que la vida es en realidad un decatlón de múltiples facetas y que nuestros ojos editan la realidad en tiempo real basándose en nuestras metas. ¿Cómo se desactiva al crítico interno en el día a día? ¿Cuál es el plan de acción concreto que propone el material original? La respuesta central, el verdadero antídoto de la regla número cuatro, exige un cambio drástico de métrica. Implica desconectar por completo la vista de los resultados de los demás y establecer al propio yo del ayer como el único estándar de válido y legítimo. Compárate con quién eras ayer. Eso es es un reajuste completo de la mira del francotirador interno. El texto insiste en que al principio es imperativo apuntar muchísimo más bajo. Apuntar bajo. Hay que deconstruir esa ambición grandiosa y aplastante que nos paraliza ante la inmensidad del internet y transformarla en metas minúsculas, casi ridículamente manejables. Para visualizar esto, recuerdo que el material utiliza una metáfora excelente. Propone analizar la propia existencia como si fuera una casa que necesita reformas urgentes. Una gran metáfora. La reacción natural que está alimentada por ese crítico interno global es sentarse en medio del caos, mirar las revistas de decoración de lujo, desesperarse porque la casa no es una mansión espectacular en la costa y como resultado no hacer absolutamente nada. Parálisis por análisis. Totalmente. El enfoque diametralmente opuesto que se propone es levantarse, buscar el rincón más pequeño y manejable de esa casa en y preguntar a ver qué cosa concreta, por minúscula que sea, puedo limpiar o arreglar hoy que esté bajo mi control inmediato. Cosas bajo control, muy importante. Puede ser algo tan mundano como ordenar la montaña de cartas que lleva un mes sobre la mesa, hacer la cama al levantarse o reparar esa bisagra de un armario de la cocina que lleva 6 meses atascada. Y es vital detenernos aquí para entender por qué esto funciona desde un punto de vista psicológico y neurológico. Porque, no nos equivoquemos, es Esto no es un simple consejo de bricolaje motivacional, no, no es ordenar el cuarto y ya está. Hay un concepto germánico fascinante que captura esta esencia. La palabra es tagwk. Tagwork no se traduce simplemente como trabajo. Se refiere a la labor diaria y concreta que justifica tu día, a la artesanía de lo cotidiano. No se trata de construir una catedral gótica en 24 horas, sino de tallar tu pequeño bloque de piedra hoy. Y encajarlo bien. Eso es. Cuando alguien repara esa bisagra rota del armario, no. Solo está arreglando un trozo de madera y metal. Esa puerta atascada actuaba como un microestresón silencioso en su vida. Es verdad. Cada mañana, al intentar abrirla para coger una taza y notar la resistencia, el cerebro registraba un pequeño fallo, una minúscula derrota que drenaba una fracción de dopamina. Al arreglarla, se elimina un obstáculo físico y se inyecta una microdosis de orden en el sistema nervioso. Se trata de tomar las riendas de 500 de estas pequeñas decisiones diarias. Son esas microvictorias las que empiezan a silenciar de verdad al crítico interno, porque de repente ya no estás compitiendo contra un multimillonario de la tecnología que sale en una portada, estás compitiendo contra tu propia inercia de ayer y estás ganando. Exactamente. Y el resultado de encadenar estas microvictorias es lo que podríamos llamar el interés compuesto de la psicología. Su pequeño ecosistema un 1% mejor de lo que lo encontró por la mañana. Los resultados se acumulan matemáticamente. Es una bola de nieve. Una mejora diaria sostenida durante 3 años. No produce un cambio lineal, produce una transformación exponencial que vuelve una vida completamente irreconocible. Además, hay un corolario hermoso a todo esto. A ver, a medida que la persona mejora su entorno inmediato y su salud mental se estabiliza, su base se vuelve más sólida. Desde esa base más alta, los objetivos que se plantea se elevan de forma natural y orgánica, sin la angustia previa. Y recordando la lección fisiológica del goril invisible, como nuestra visión rastrea aquello que valoramos al establecer metas más sanas y progresivas, las oportunidades en En el mundo exterior comienzan a materializarse. Claro, la ceguera desaparece gradualmente, los filtros se ajustan. Es como conducir un coche de noche en medio de una tormenta con el parabrisas lleno de barro. Arreglar la bisagra del armario es como encender los limpiaparabrisas por primera vez. Muy buena imagen. De repente te das cuenta de que la carretera no era tan recta ni tan estrecha como parecía y que había multitud de desvíos y caminos panorámicos que antes eran literalmente invisibles bajo la suciedad. Es un cambio de paradigma absoluto en la forma de vivir totalmente. Bueno, para ir recogiendo todo lo que hemos puesto sobre la mesa, creo que la inmersión profunda de hoy nos deja lecciones tremendamente sólidas. Yo estoy seguro de que sí. Hemos arrancado analizando el peligro neurológico de esa jerarquía global moderna, ese rayo láser de internet que atrofia nuestro sistema de recompensas y nos hace sentir insignificantes ante el mundo. Luego hemos encontrado una vía de escape al comprender que la existencia no es un examen tipo test con una sola respuesta correcta, es un decathlon vasto y con complejo donde siempre existe la posibilidad de bueno, de inventar reglas propias como nuestro amigo el mismo, el mismo de las manoplas. Hemos diseccionado la asombrosa mecánica del goril invisible, descubriendo que nuestros ojos funcionan como cazadores implacables que solo nos muestran el trofeo que hemos decidido buscar. Y finalmente hemos trazado el mapa de salida, la táctica innegociable del interés compuesto, asumiando la labor diaria del Tabwork y utilizando únicamente al yo de ayer como el único juez legítimo de nuestro avance. Al final, el hilo conductor que une todas estas disciplinas, la biología, la psicología, la neurología, es una conclusión profundamente empoderadora sobre nuestro papel en el mundo. El análisis demuestra que no somos meros receptores pasivos de información. No somos víctimas. No, no somos víctimas de un entorno hostil. Somos constructores activos de la realidad. La arquitectura misma de nuestra percepción se moldea en base a dónde decidimos enfocar nuestra atención y nuestra voluntad cada día. Y para cerrar Queremos proponer un pensamiento final para dejar macerando en la mente de quien nos escuche una reflexión expansiva basada estrictamente en esa cruda realidad biológica de la visión que acabamos de explorar. Adelante. Pensemos profundamente en esto. Si el propio cerebro humano censura activamente el entorno recortando y borrando enormes porciones de la realidad para proyectar únicamente aquello que encaja con nuestras ambiciones o miedos actuales, entonces experimentar el mundo como un lugar asfixiante oscuro y plagado de competidores imbatibles, no es un reflejo preciso de la realidad objetiva, no es una verdad inamovible del universo. Plantea una hipótesis fascinante. Sugiere que esa sensación de agobio existencial es simplemente la evidencia técnica de que el motor de búsqueda interno de nuestro cerebro está operando con las palabras clave equivocadas. Así es. ¿Qué pasaría si el simple y silencioso acto de decidir valorar el progreso personal por encima del estatus social ajeno tuviera la capacidad real de alterar la forma física tangible y palpable del mundo que se despliega ante nosotros cada mañana al despertar. Si cambiar la meta interna revela la existencia de inmensos gorilas invisibles, cuántas oportunidades latentes, cuánta belleza oculta y cuántos caminos inexplorados están justo ahora cruzando por delante, esperando pacientemente a que se deje de vigilar la vida del vecino para poder volverse reales. Es algo que merece mucha reflexión. Muchísima. Gracias por acompañar este análisis a fondo. Ha sido un recorrido intelectual espectacular por los mecanismos más profundos de nuestra propia mente. Hasta la próxima inmersión.

Magtfulde virksomheder og personer bruger i stigende grad retssystemet til at intimidere kritikere med dyre og langvarige retssager. De såkaldte SLAPP-sager er ikke først og fremmest tænkt til at få oprejsning for en potentiel krænkelse, men til at skræmme journalister, NGO'er, forskere og andre deltagere i den offentlige debat til tavshed. I Magtens Tredeling episode 255 forklarer bestyrelsesmedlem i Coalition against SLAPPS in Europe og Greenpeace-jurist Daniel Simons, hvordan SLAPP-sager fungerer som censur, hvorfor de truer den demokratiske samtale, og hvad EU's nye anti‑SLAPP‑direktiv betyder for Europa og Danmark.

SHOW NOTES: In this episode of the LDA Podcast, Matt and Clark are joined by longtime friend of the show Kat Koppett for a thoughtful and lively conversation about how we think, learn, and make sense of the world. The discussion opens with a substantive exchange on whether critical thinking can be taught as a general skill. Matt argues that critical thinking depends on deep domain knowledge rather than generic techniques. Clark challenges this view by drawing on research by Peter Ellerton and earlier work by Valerie Shute and Jeffrey Bonar, exploring the limits and possibilities of instruction and transfer. To clarify the debate, Matt introduces a shared definition of critical thinking based on Peter Facione's framework. Kat reinforces the point by noting that people struggle to think critically without relevant information, echoing ideas popularized in The Invisible Gorilla by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. The conversation then turns to generational differences in thinking. Clark introduces Harold Jarche's Personal Knowledge Mastery model, which leads to a broader discussion of experience, learning, and whether “digital natives” actually think differently. Hint... they don't exist. They push back on generational myths by highlighting research showing little difference in search strategies across age groups. The episode closes with Matt reflecting on the enduring influence of developmental psychologist Richard Lerner and his work on human development. Selected References Facione, P. A. (2011).

(01:47)Al meer dan dertig jaar praten politici over klimaatverandering. De eerste keer was in 1989 in Noordwijk. Er was hoop dat er daar bindende afspraken konden worden gemaakt over het terugdringen van de CO2-uitstoot. Voormalig milieuminister Ed Nijpels vertelt over toen en de lessen die we daaruit kunnen trekken. (12:55) Frank Westerman vertelt over zijn nieuwe boek Hotel De Wereld.  (29:30) In 'Een notabel kookboekje uit 1514' hertaalt diëtist en Neerlandicus Marleen Willebrands het kookboek 'Een notabel boecxken van cokeryen' uit 1514 en heeft ze ook een dertigtal recepten omgeschreven naar de moderne keuken. Hoe smaakte 1514 en was de Nederlandse keuken toen ook al saai en smakeloos?  (39:02) Nadia Bouras tipt drie historische IDFA-films:  Cover-Up - Laura Poitras en Mark Obenhaus  How to Build a Library -  Maia Lekow en Christopher King Mohammed & Paul - Nordin Lasfar (55:32) De column van Abdelkader Benali.  (58:37) In het najaar van 2016 begon een massaal protest in het Standing Rock-reservaat van de inheemse Sioux, in Noord-Dakota in de Verenigde Staten. Gesteund door duizenden activisten van over de hele wereld, protesteerden ze tegen de aanleg van de Dakota Access-oliepijpleiding. Die pijpleiding zou dwars door heilige inheemse grond lopen - en dat is in strijd met een negentiende eeuws verdrag.    De pijpleiding kwam er toch en de activisten van destijds kregen dit jaar nog een flinke trap na: het bedrijf achter de Dakota Pijpleiding heeft Greenpeace aangeklaagd voor hun rol in het protest. Deze week was er een uitspraak in die zaak.  In 2017 maakt programmamaker Laura Stek de documentaire Standing Rock over deze zaak én over de mensen die de strijd tegen de pijpleiding voerden.     We herhalen de documentaire en gaan daarna in gesprek met Daniel Simons, de advocaat van Greenpeace.  https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-doc-standing-rock (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-doc-standing-rock) Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-9-november-2025   (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-9-november-2025)

These days, it feels like we're bombarded with information from every direction, and figuring out what's true can be overwhelming. Yael sits down with Alex Edmans, author of May Contain Lies, for a fascinating conversation about how misinformation shapes the way we see the world. They talk about why even fact-checking has its limits and how common biases, such as wanting to confirm what we already believe or seeing things in black and white, can cloud our judgment. Using everyday examples, from the Atkins diet to debates about breastfeeding, Alex shows how data can be bent to tell almost any story. We invite you to stay curious but skeptical, with practical strategies for navigating opposing views and creating more thoughtful, respectful conversations.Listen to POTC ad-free for just $5 a month by becoming a Mega Supporter on Patreon!

This October, we're celebrating 8 years of Behavioral Grooves! To mark the occasion, we're digging into our archives and re-sharing some of our most popular and thought-provoking conversations every Thursday for the next two months. The celebration builds to our Anniversary Event on October 16th in Minneapolis, where fan favorite Nick Epley will lead the audience in a live social experiment and conversation about the science we all love. Space is limited—grab your tickets now through the link in the show notes and join us for an unforgettable night of behavioral science, connection, and fun! And now - this week's episode! In this episode of Behavioral Grooves, psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris—creators of the famous Monkey Business Illusion and authors of Nobody's Fool—unpack why we so often fall for fraud, scams, and flashy but misleading science. They explain how our biases and love of appealing stories make us vulnerable, and why blanket skepticism isn't practical. Instead, they share tools for spotting deception, insights into fixing flawed research incentives, and a simple but powerful rule of thumb: trust the people who admit when they're wrong.

Sometimes saying “yes” too much can really take a toll on you. In this episode, Jill chats with Dr. Sunita Sah, a bestselling author and Cornell professor, about her book Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes. They break down how constant compliance can affect your emotions, mind, and body, and share strategies for recognizing when it's time to push back. Sunita introduces the concept of a ‘Defiance Compass' to help guide people in acting according to their values. You'll also learn about the difference between going along with something and truly giving consent, how anxiety can arise in difficult situations, and why practicing small acts of defiance can prepare you for bigger, high-stakes moments. Listen and Learn: How can redefining "defiance" from a negative act of resistance to an alignment with true values help us better understand the balance between compliance, consent, and social pressure?Why is defiance better understood as a staged process on a continuum rather than a simple yes/no choice, and how does recognizing tension help us navigate compliance?Distinguishing between true expert intuition and bias-driven gut feelings when making decisions in uncertain situationsWhy is it so difficult for people to resist compliance and obedience in high-pressure situations, and how can practicing defiance help us prepare to say no and prevent harm?How can we recognize the difference between true consent and mere compliance, and what essential elements are needed to ensure a genuine "yes"?Navigating situations where we technically have the freedom to say no, but psychological pressures like insinuation anxiety or fear of consequences make it difficult to speak upHow do insinuation anxiety and the sales pitch effect interact to increase pressure to comply, even when consent is technically present?Overcoming the tension and fear of non-compliance to act in alignment with our values using tools like the Defiance CompassHow you can practice defiance as a skillResources:Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593445778Sunita's Website: https://www.sunitasah.com/Connect with Sunita on Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/drsunitasahhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drsunitasah/https://www.tiktok.com/@drsunitasah About Sunita SahDr. Sunita Sah is a national bestselling author, an award-winning professor at Cornell University, and an expert in organizational psychology.

Send us a textBu bölümde, bilişsel bilimin önde gelen iki ismi, Nobody's Fool (Külyutmaz) kitabının ortak yazarları Dr. Daniel Simons ve Dr. Christopher Chabris ile geçen hafta yayınladığım söyleşinin bir özetini paylaşıyorum. İstemdışı körlük üzerine çığır açan çalışmalarıyla tanınan Dan ve Chris, insan algısının ve farkındalığının sınırlarını inceleyerek, bariz olanı ne kadar kolay gözden kaçırdığımızı bize yansıtıyorlar.2004 Ig Nobel Ödülü kazanan dikkatimizdeki şaşırtıcı boşlukları mizahi bir şekilde ortaya koyan araştırmalarını tartışarak başlıyoruz. Onların içgörüleri, önümüzde ne olduğunu fark etme yeteneğimizi genellikle abarttığımızı, önemli ayrıntıları neden kaçırdığımızı anlamaktan günlük hayatta karşılaştığımız gizli riskleri tanımaya kadar derin etkileri olan bir kavram olduğunu ortaya koyuyor.Bu bize, bilişsel kör noktalarımız ve dolandırıcıların ve diğer aldatıcıların bu güvenlik açıklarından yararlanmak için basit psikolojik tetikleyicileri nasıl kullandıkları hakkında bilgi veriyor.Ayrıca aldatmanın kültürel ve psikolojik yönlerine de dalıyoruz ve neden “Ocean's 11” ,"The Sting", "Catch Me If You Can" gibi filmlerdeki zekice hile hikayelerine çekildiğimizi keşfediyoruz. Dan ve Chris, yaygın dolandırıcılık taktiklerini tanımanın, bunları gerçek hayatta tespit etme yeteneğimizi nasıl geliştirebileceğine değiniyor. Sadece eleştirel değil, temkinli düşünmenin kendimizi kendi zihinsel kısayollarımızın tuzaklarından korumak için güçlü bir araç olduğunu vurguluyorlar.Bitirirken, onu nasıl koruyacağımızı öğrenerek değer yaratmanın bir formülüne değiniyoruz. Dan ve Chris, aldatıcı kalıpları tanıma ve maliyetli hatalardan kaçınmak için daha bilinçli kararlar alma konusunda Külyutmaz'dan değerli pratik tavsiyeler paylaşıyorlar.The Invisible Gorilla Facebook Sayfasıhttps://www.facebook.com/TheInvisibleGorillaDaniel Simons'ın Linkedin profilihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-simons-54646325a/Daniel Simons'un web sayfasıhttps://dansimons.com/Christopher Chabris'nin Linkedin profilihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherchabris/Christopher Chabris'nin X hesabıhttps://x.com/cfchabrisSupport the show

In this episode, hosts Dr. Grant Cooper and Dr. Zinovy Meyler engage with renowned cognitive psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons to unravel the intricacies of memory, deception, and decision-making. They discuss how vivid but often inaccurate memories form, explore real-life scams including impersonators of the French Minister of Defense, and tackle psychological shortcuts like survivorship bias and confirmation bias. The conversation highlights the influence of AI and deepfakes on deception and offers practical advice to protect against scams, such as the use of family passwords for combating voice cloning. Additionally, they delve into decision-making traps, illustrated through examples like doctors' varied information processing. Through engaging anecdotes and their collaborative research from 'Nobody's Fool,' the episode provides insights into human cognition's limitations and the importance of recognizing and mitigating biases.(00:00) Introduction (04:20) Exploring the Mandela Effect  (06:43) The Fallibility of Memory  (16:15) Survivorship Bias in Decision-Making  (19:58) The Possibility Grid: Understanding Success and Failure  (26:36) Confirmation Bias and Scientific Errors  (38:50) The Time Reversal Heuristic  (39:50) Bias in Scientific Findings  (40:51) The Appeal of Counterintuitive Results  (42:45) Challenges in Replicating Studies  (43:46) The Reality of Social Priming  (46:28) Subliminal Perception and Its Limits  (47:34) Cognitive Training and Its Efficacy  (55:17) Chess Strategies Applied to Life  (57:09) The Importance of Asking Questions  (59:42) Avoiding Deception and Making Better Decisions  (01:04:27) The Role of Information in Decision Making  (01:09:04) ConclusionDaniel Simons and Christopher Chabris are renowned cognitive psychologists best known for their groundbreaking research on attention, perception, and cognitive illusions. Simons, a professor at the University of Illinois, and Chabris, a professor at Geisinger Health System, co-authored the influential book *The Invisible Gorilla*, which explores how our minds can overlook significant details, leading to surprising misconceptions. Their famous "invisible gorilla" experiment demonstrates how people can fail to notice obvious things when focused on specific tasks, revealing the limits of human attention and perception. Both researchers continue to investigate the fascinating ways in which our minds shape our experiences.#podcast #memory #decisionmaking #psychology #deception #mandelaeffect #interview #experts #brainscience #research #mind #cognitivescience #mentalhealth #MemoryStudy #SurvivorshipBiasThanks For WatchingSocials:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKPNCI1-HBSZmiHNAlAjiIwWebsite: https://www.performanceinitiativepodcast.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/performanceinitiative

"It's a kind of information that we find particularly appealing that people looking to fool us will use, but it can lead to innocent spreading" Host Paul Brandus explores the concept of truth bias and its implications in today's society with guests Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris, authors of the book "Nobody's Fool, Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do About It." They discuss how our innate trust in familiar sources can make us vulnerable to misinformation and the importance of skepticism in evaluating information. The conversation delves into the challenges of focusing on only what is directly in front of us, potentially overlooking crucial context. Meredith Wilson, CEO of Emergent Risk International, joins the discussion to provide insights on how trust and skepticism play a crucial role in navigating the complex landscape of information consumption.

We talk about our “truth bias”, why it works most of the time, and what makes people skeptical in certain situations. We go through four psychological habits that make us susceptible to deception: focus, prediction, commitment, and efficiency. We discuss expectation-based reasoning, and how it can affect the production of scientific knowledge. We also go through four hooks that deceivers use: consistency, familiarity, precision, and potency. Finally, we talk about how deceivers try to target the most vulnerable people. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

As humans, we have certain default settings that help us navigate the world. Yet those same default settings make us vulnerable to fraud and deception. For example, our ability to focus helps us concentrate on what's right in front of us. But it also prevents us from seeing what's missing. For example, we're more willing to believe a presumed investment expert who touts a winning track record without thinking about the losses he never mentions. Our brains also rely on past experiences to guide our behavior. The upside is that it conserves energy and prevents us from having to relearn things like tying our shoes or driving to the store. Unfortunately, it predisposes us to act without thinking. That's why Daniel Simons has written a book called Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken in and What We Can Do about It. In it, he points out four habits that can put us at risk, and he shares ways to overcome them. He also points how others can leverage our very human tendencies to deceive us. Talking to Dan helped me see another side to some of my default settings and how I can stay vigilant, so I don't get fooled.    Episode Links Failures of Awareness: The Case of Inattentional Blindness Failure to Detect Changes to People During Real-World Interaction The Last Improv Show Interview with Woo-Kyoung Ahn The Team Learn more about host, Gayle Allen, and producer, Rob Mancabelli, here.

My guest today is Christopher Chabris, a cognitive psychologist and a well-known researcher in the fields of psychology and human cognition. He is most famous for his work on the "invisible gorilla" experiment, which he conducted during his graduate studies at Harvard University along with Daniel Simons. This experiment demonstrated the phenomenon of "inattentional blindness," where people fail to notice unexpected objects or events if their attention is focused on a different task. The topic is his co-authored book Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do about It. In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss: Cognitive biases and their impact on perception and deception Stepping back from heated debates Scams, frauds, and deceptions Selective data analysis and confirmation bias Vaccines and politics Thinking critically and seeking truth in divisive topics Examining COVID, gender, and Trump through a framework Information curation Jump in! --- I'm MICHAEL COVEL, the host of TREND FOLLOWING RADIO, and I'm proud to have delivered 10+ million podcast listens since 2012.

Hindsight is 20/20 after falling for a scam; the trick is avoiding one in the first place. Daniel Simons is professor in the department of psychology at the University of Illinois, where he directs the Visual Cognition Laboratory. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the many ways we get taken for a ride and the faulty thinking that got us there so we can be aware next time. His book, written with co-author Christopher Chabris, is “Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do about It.” 

From phishing scams to Ponzi schemes, fraudulent science to fake art, chess cheaters to crypto hucksters, and marketers to magicians, our world brims with deception. In Nobody's Fool, psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris show us how to avoid being taken in. They describe the key habits of thinking and reasoning that serve us well most of the time but make us vulnerable—like our tendency to accept what we see, stick to our commitments, and overvalue precision and consistency. Each chapter illustrates their new take on the science of deception, describing scams you've never heard of and shedding new light on some you have. Simons and Chabris provide memorable maxims and practical tools you can use to spot deception before it's too late. Christopher Chabris is a professor at Geisinger, a Pennsylvania healthcare system, where he co-directs the Behavioral Insights Team. He previously taught at Union College and Harvard University, and is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science. Chris received his Ph.D. in psychology and A.B. in computer science from Harvard. His research focuses on decision-making, attention, intelligence, and behavior genetics. His work has been published in leading journals including Science, Nature, PNAS, and Perception, and he has published essays in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Washington Post. Chris is also a chess master, games enthusiast, and co-author of the bestselling book The Invisible Gorilla: How Our Intuitions Deceive Us. Together Daniel and Christopher co-authored the new book Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do about It. Shermer, Simons, and Chabris discuss: • How rational vs. irrational are humans? (Daniel Kahneman vs. Gerd Gingerenzer) • Truth Default Theory, or Truth Bias • deception vs. deception detection • social proof and the influence of others on our beliefs • cults • Bernie Madoff • Harvey Weinstein • Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos • Nigerian spam scam • cheating in chess • habits of thought that can be exploited • information hooks we find especially enticing instead of triggering skepticism • scientific fraud and the replication crisis • how to prevent from being a victim of fraud or a con.

This week we talk to psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris about their new book Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do About It.

From Ponzi schemes to e-mail phishing identity thieves, the world can seem full of people who want to deceive us. Daniel Simons, PhD, and Christopher Chabris, PhD, co-authors of the “Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do About It,” talk about the cognitive habits that put us at risk of believing lies; famous frauds and cons from the worlds of business, science and competitive chess; and what you can do to protect yourself, and your wallet, by spotting scammers before it's too late.

The episode is a conversation with Dan Simons about his book Nobody's Fool and the general ways people get deceived. The discussion moves through examples from chess cheating, fraudulent research data, social media sharing, and everyday scams to show how suspicious regularity, incentives, and expectation bias can hide deception or honest mistakes. Evidence includes the chess tournament anecdote, the odometer study fraud case, and the repeated emphasis on truth bias and confirmation bias (L33-L34, L41-L49, L77-L85, L109-L110, L169-L170). A second major thread is practical skepticism: when it is worth checking carefully, when it is impossible or undesirable to distrust everything, and what kinds of controls can help. The speakers use the Van Halen brown M&M story as a positive control, discuss allergies and expensive purchases as high-stakes cases, and end by recommending the book and bookshop.org. Evidence includes the trust/limits discussion, the positive-control example, the allergy and art examples, and the closing promotional exchange (L169-L170, L179-L189, L199-L201, L211-L213, L347-L357, L359-L373). Key topics Suspicious regularity as a fraud signal: The episode repeatedly highlights that fake or manipulated activity often leaves patterns that do not match real-world behavior, such as odd chess timing, flat mileage distributions, or duplicated spreadsheet data. Confirmation bias and truth bias: The guests stress that people tend to accept claims that fit what they alread

This week's guests on Perpetual Chess are the award-winning co-authors and tournament chess players, Dr. Christopher Chabris and Dr. Daniel Simons. Dr. Chabris, of course, is a cognitive scientist, USCF Master, chess dad, and frequent guest on Perpetual Chess. Dr. Simons is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Illinois-Urbana and a tournament chess player in his own right. Their excellent new book, Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken in and What We Can Do About It is not exclusively about chess, but touches on the subject repeatedly,  and has many implications for our game. In our conversation, we talk about the book generally but also try to focus on “chess takeaways,” from the book material,  with a particular emphasis on the future of cheating in chess. Dr. Chabris has also been active on the tournament scene since we last spoke, so he shares a few fresh observations about chess improvement. I learned a lot both from the book and from our conversation, and I am confident that you will enjoy it.  0:00- Thanks to our presenting chess education sponsors, Chessable.com.
