In this conversation, Quico discusses the nature of gullibility and the tactics used by charlatans to exploit people's beliefs. He provides insights into various case studies, including astrology and blood types, and highlights notable charlatans like Baba Ramdev and the impact of mega churches. The discussion also covers modern scams in the crypto space and emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and awareness in navigating a world filled with misinformation and exploitation. It's made known that even the smartest scientists can be fooled by charlatans. Takeaways People are gullible because they care deeply about their beliefs. Charlatans exploit emotional connections to manipulate individuals. Astrology remains popular despite its lack of scientific basis. Baba Ramdev exemplifies a modern charlatan with a yoga empire. Mega churches can exploit vulnerable populations for profit. The crypto space has seen significant charlatanry and scams. Identifying red flags is crucial in protecting oneself from charlatans. The internet allows charlatans to target niche audiences more effectively. Critical thinking is essential in the digital age to avoid exploitation. Understanding one's beliefs can help in recognizing manipulation.Chapters 00:00 Introduction and the Nature of Gullibility 04:25 Understanding Charlatans and Their Tactics 07:29 Case Studies: Astrology and Blood Type Beliefs 09:46 Exploring Notable Charlatans: Baba Ramdev and Others 11:11 The Role of Mega Churches in Exploitation 14:18 Medical Charlatans: Dr. Oz and Dr. Mercola 16:40 The Crypto Grift and Its Impact 21:55 The Legacy of Charlatans: From Alchemy to Crypto 25:07 Identifying Vulnerabilities: The Psychology of Belief 28:53 Case Study: The Rise and Fall of Abraaj 32:05 Future Trends: The Evolution of Charlatanry 34:51 The Impact of Technology on Deception 37:37 Navigating a World of MisinformationFollow Quico Toro on LinkedIn, Substack, and find his new book here.Subscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

Ben and Vaden test their French skills and have Hugo Mercier on the podcast to discuss who we trust and what we believe. Are humans gullible? Do we fall for propaganda and advertising campaigns? Do we follow expert consensus or forge ahead as independent thinkers? Can Vaden go for one episode without bringing up Trump?

Pathfinder Church | May 25, 2025 | AJ MasticChristian Psychologist M. Scott Peck says that human beings struggle to make a “map” of the world that helps them understand and wisely navigate life. It can be tempting to be like Peter Pan and never grow up. Or to rely only on our own wisdom. But if we do, we will always be struggling to “reinvent the wheel,” or be bedeviled by obstacles that other people long ago solved. How can we increase our wisdom and ability to navigate the world? Website | https://pathfinderstl.orgOnline Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/givePodcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcastsFacebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinderstlInstagram | https://instagram.com/pathfinderstlSt. John School | https://stjls.orgContact Us | churchinfo@pathfinderstl.org

Some thoughts (arguments?) on Hugo Mercier's Not Born Yesterday (https://www.amazon.com/Not-Born-Yesterday-Science-Believe/dp/0691178704), which advances the thesis that humans are not as gullible as is commonly thought. This is our second episode on Mercier's work, and we're as intrigued as ever. But this time we have different interpretations of his thesis, so it's a good thing the man himself is coming on soon to sort us out. We discuss If humans are less gullible than is commonly believed Evolution of Communication Theory Gazelles jumping in the air Are humans too stubborn? Is one of your hosts who shall go unnamed too stubborn? When do humans actually change their minds? Does Mercier's work conflict with Popper? How much of our reasoning is motivated reasoning? How much is social conformity? Socials Follow us on Twitter at @IncrementsPod, @BennyChugg, @VadenMasrani Come join our discord server!

While the media fixates on one awful thing Trump and Vance are doing, it ignores lots of others. And that's exactly how the Trump campaign wants it. Today, Josh explains the history of campaigns purposely fanning flames of controversy in the media so that their preferred issues dominate the news cycle. Meanwhile, will that same gullibility lead the media to fall for anti-Israel protests scheduled on October 7, when they should be reporting on what happened in the most evil terrorist attack of modern times? Josh has a plan to push the media to avoid this, and you can help. Plus, Trump is now claiming that if he loses, Jewish people will “have a lot to do” with it. Josh explains why this is so dangerous. He also wrote an op-ed about it for the biggest paper in a crucial swing state.

Jeremy seeks fundamental explanations for life and motivation. He invents a new word a day to better describe his insights. He calls himself a 'psychoproctologist' because he studies the psychology of a-holes (i.e. humans). Jeremy has a different, fascinating, and entirely non pompous view of the world.

Serendipity Sessions returns again...for the second time in a row! To be honest, our last episode wasn't a true Serendipity Session because it involved one primary topic and Ryan was pretty prepared to discuss it. So Ryan ruined it. Blame Ryan. But the good news is that this episode is a true Serendipity Session! Serendipity Sessions was designed to be a stream-of-consciousness series so we can stumble upon moments of divine inspiration and clarity without planning anything in advance. In that spirit, we invite you to simply hit play and explore these topics in real-time alongside us. But if you'd like a teaser of what we cover in this episode, here are some hints (with links to resources we referenced in this episode): Starting a new life is hard when you're not ready to let go of the old oneAnxiety and excitement are similarEmbracing miracles (Book: E-Squared by Pam Grout)Being gullible is actually a serious problem (Article Link)Will there be an earthquake on June 6, 2024?

Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.*******************************P.S. Rate us 5 stars please and leave us a review!

How Broken Trust is Poisoning American DemocracyIn this episode, host David Beckmeyer interviews Andreas Schedler about his research on political polarization in the United States. Schedler challenges the traditional understanding of polarization as a simple left-right divide and argues that the breakdown of trust is a fundamental factor driving hostility between political factions. He explains that people increasingly believe the other side is willing to break the rules of democracy to win, leading to a dangerous lack of trust. Schedler discusses the importance of recognizing these perceptions and engaging in dialogue to bridge the divide. He also highlights the need for critical thinking and self-reflection to overcome polarization.Support the showShow Notes:https://outrageoverload.net/ Follow me, David Beckemeyer, on Twitter @mrblog.

From the divine creation of the world all the way to the resurrection of Christ, Christians are predisposed to believe in extraordinary things. Or at least, this is what the cultural wisdom of the age would have us believe. But are Christians really uniquely gullible because they affirm the existence of the supernatural? Join us as we dive into this listener question.

This is a selection of highlights from episode #180 of The 80,000 Hours Podcast.These aren't necessarily the most important, or even most entertaining parts of the interview — and if you enjoy this, we strongly recommend checking out the full episode:Hugo Mercier on why gullibility and misinformation are overratedAnd if you're finding these highlights episodes valuable, please let us know by emailing podcast@80000hours.org.Highlights put together by Simon Monsour, Milo McGuire, and Dominic Armstrong

The World Economic Forum's global risks survey of 1,400 experts, policymakers, and industry leaders ranked misinformation and disinformation as the number one global risk over the next two years — ranking it ahead of war, environmental problems, and other threats from AI.And the discussion around misinformation and disinformation has shifted to focus on how generative AI or a future super-persuasive AI might change the game and make it extremely hard to figure out what was going on in the world — or alternatively, extremely easy to mislead people into believing convenient lies.But this week's guest, cognitive scientist Hugo Mercier, has a very different view on how people form beliefs and figure out who to trust — one in which misinformation really is barely a problem today, and is unlikely to be a problem anytime soon. As he explains in his book Not Born Yesterday, Hugo believes we seriously underrate the perceptiveness and judgement of ordinary people.Links to learn more, summary, and full transcript.In this interview, host Rob Wiblin and Hugo discuss:How our reasoning mechanisms evolved to facilitate beneficial communication, not blind gullibility.How Hugo makes sense of our apparent gullibility in many cases — like falling for financial scams, astrology, or bogus medical treatments, and voting for policies that aren't actually beneficial for us.Rob and Hugo's ideas about whether AI might make misinformation radically worse, and which mass persuasion approaches we should be most worried about.Why Hugo thinks our intuitions about who to trust are generally quite sound, even in today's complex information environment.The distinction between intuitive beliefs that guide our actions versus reflective beliefs that don't.Why fake news and conspiracy theories actually have less impact than most people assume.False beliefs that have persisted across cultures and generations — like bloodletting and vaccine hesitancy — and theories about why.And plenty more.Chapters:The view that humans are really gullible (00:04:26)The evolutionary argument against humans being gullible (00:07:46) Open vigilance (00:18:56)Intuitive and reflective beliefs (00:32:25)How people decide who to trust (00:41:15)Redefining beliefs (00:51:57)Bloodletting (01:00:38)Vaccine hesitancy and creationism (01:06:38)False beliefs without skin in the game (01:12:36)One consistent weakness in human judgement (01:22:57)Trying to explain harmful financial decisions (01:27:15)Astrology (01:40:40)Medical treatments that don't work (01:45:47)Generative AI, LLMs, and persuasion (01:54:50)Ways AI could improve the information environment (02:29:59)Producer and editor: Keiran HarrisAudio Engineering Lead: Ben CordellTechnical editing: Simon Monsour and Milo McGuireTranscriptions: Katy Moore

The baby boom was in full swing and the prosperity of the 1950's in American was kicking into full swing.  During the 1964-1965 transit of Jupiter in Taurus. America's involvement in the war in Vietnam had begun. American's were becoming wealthier and wealthier, as people achieved the dream of a house in suburbia, a car in the garage, and a color tv in every house.Jupiter came back into Taurus from March 1976 - April 1977, Jimmy Carter was elected President in the United States, bringing a Democratic president in power after eight years of Republican presidents.  Inflation continued as a problem around the world. The transit of Jupiter through Taurus in the 80's was from March 8, 1988- March 1989:  Ronald Reagan  was president, and Reaganomics were in full swing, to have lasting effects on American economic policy for decades later and redistributing wealth so the rich would get richer. February 14, 2000- June 30, 2001—  The Euro falls to record low against the US dollarJune 4, 2011- June 11, 2012  OCCUPY WALL STREET PROTESTS-A protest meant to highlight income inequality in the United States and rest of the world. The movement was best known for its "We are the 99%" slogan, referring to income inequality.The theme during the earlier years of Jupiter transits through Taurus in all had economic reforms for better or worse. Support the show

“Martin Kantor Kantor advises in his 2006 book The Psychopathology of Everyday Life: How Antisocial Personality Disorder Affects All of Us that vulnerability to psychopathic manipulators involves being too:[35] Dependent – dependent people need to be loved and are therefore gullible and liable to say yes to something to which they should say no. Immature – has impaired judgment and so tends to believe exaggerated advertising claims. Naïve – cannot believe there are dishonest people in the world or takes it for granted that if there are any, they will not be allowed to prey on others. Impressionable – overly seduced by charmers. Trusting – people who are honest often assume that everyone else is honest. They are more likely to commit themselves to people they hardly know without checking credentials, etc., and less likely to question so-called experts. Carelessness – not giving sufficient amount of thought or attention to harm or errors. Lonely – lonely people may accept any offer of human contact. A psychopathic stranger may offer human companionship for a price. Narcissistic – narcissists are prone to falling for unmerited flattery. Impulsive – make snap decisions. Altruistic – the opposite of psychopathic: too honest, too fair, too empathetic. Frugal – cannot say no to a bargain even if they know the reason it is so cheap. Materialistic – easy prey for loan sharks or get-rich-quick schemes. Greedy – the greedy and dishonest may fall prey to a psychopath who can easily entice them to act in an immoral way. Masochistic – lack self-respect and so unconsciously let psychopaths take advantage of them. They think they deserve it out of a sense of guilt. The elderly – the elderly can become fatigued and less capable of multi-tasking. When hearing a sales pitch they are less likely to consider that it could be a con. They are prone to giving money to someone with a hard-luck story.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How we failed, published by Jan Kulveit on March 23, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Here “we” means the broader EA and rationalist communities. Learning from failures is just as important as learning from successes. This post describes a few cases of mistakes and failures which seem interesting from the learning perspective. Failure to improve US policy in the first wave Early in the pandemic, the rationality community was right about important things (e.g. masks), often very early on. We won the epistemic fight, and the personal instrumental fight. (Consider our masks discourse, or Microcovid use, or rapid testing to see our friends.) At the same time, the network distance from the core of the community to e.g. people in the CDC is not that large: OpenPhil is a major funder for the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, and the network distance from CHS to top public health institutions is presumably small. As such, we could say the US rationality community failed instrumentally, given their apparent short distance to influence.Contrast this with the influence of LessWrong on UK policy via a single reader, Dominic Cummings. Or our influence on Czech policy (see What we tried).Also, contrast this with the #masks4all movement. This movement was founded by the writer and speaker Petr Ludwig (pre COVID, he was developing something like his own version of rationality and critical thinking, independent of the LessWrong cluster). After the success of grass-roots activity in DIY mask-making in Czechia, which led to the whole country starting to use the masks within a week or so, he tried to export the "masks work" and “you can make them at home” meme globally. While counterfactuals are hard, this seems a major success, likely speeding up mask uptake in Western countries by weeks (consider the Marginal Revolution praise). Where was the “microcovid calculator for countries”? (see EpiFor funding and medium-range models.) Overreaction through 2021 Personal reactions within the community in February 2020 were sometimes exemplary; apparent overshoots (like copper tape on surfaces, postal package quarantines) were reasonable ex ante. But the community was slow to update its behaviour in response to improved estimates of infection-fatality ratee, long COVID, and knowledge of aerosol and droplet transmission. Anecdotally, the community was slow to return to relatively safe things like outdoor activities, even after full vaccination. While your risk tolerance is a given quantity in decision-making, my impression is that many people's behaviour did not match the risk tolerance implicit in their other daily habits. Inverse gullibility Many large institutions had a bad track record during the pandemic, and the heuristic “do not update much from their announcements” served many people well. However, in places the community went beyond this, to non-updates from credible sources and anti-updates from institutions. Gullibility is believing things excessively: taking the claim “studies show” as certain. Inverse gullibility is disbelieving things excessively: failing to update at all when warranted, or even to invert the update. Example: the COVID research summaries of the FDA are often good; it's in the policy guidance section that the wheels come off. But I often see people write off all FDA material. My broad guess is that people who run off simple models like "governments are evil and lie to you" are very unlikely to be able to model governments well, and very unlikely to understand parts of the solution space where governments can do important and useful things. Failing to persuade reviewers that important methods were valid More locally to our research: we used skilled forecasters for many of our estimates, as an input for our hybrid of mathematical and judgmental prediction. ...

After weeks of randomness, the guys turned to Craig for some focus. But considering he has trouble even spelling "outline" the guys managed to decipher a few themes during the noise. Gambling. Gullibility. Christian lies. Personalized movie names. Embroidered pillows. For one week only, it's all on the table, and all from the mind of the mindless.

Paul, April and Jeremy discuss the Southern Baptist Convention's decision to have a closed investigation of the more than 700 sexual abuse cases within SBC churches. The messengers wanted an open investigation and full transparency of all findings, and the higher ups at the SBC voted against the will of the people to protect themselves. So, they discuss the implications of this and how widespread abuse is in churches beyond the SBC. They also talk about the gullibility of evangelicals and how 19 of the top 20 Christian Facebook pages were controlled by foreign troll farms. https://www.relevantmagazine.com/culture/tech-gaming/almost-all-of-facebooks-top-christian-pages-are-run-by-foreign-troll-farms/ The show ends with some improv sermon illustrations.
