Why do smart, capable people fall for scams even when the warning signs seem obvious in hindsight? In this episode, Dan Ariely joins us to examine how intuition often leads us in the wrong direction, especially under stress, uncertainty, or emotional pressure. A renowned behavioral economist, longtime professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University, and bestselling author of Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, Misbehaving, and Misbelief, Dan has spent decades studying why rational people consistently make choices that don't serve them.  We talk about the deeply human forces that shape how we decide who to trust, and how easily those instincts can be exploited in high-stakes situations involving fraud, financial loss, and digital deception. Dan shares a deeply personal story about surviving severe burns and the long process of self-acceptance that followed, using his own experience to show how hiding, blending in, and social pressure quietly influence behavior in ways most of us never stop to question.  We also explore why stress pushes people to search for patterns, stories, and a sense of control, even when those explanations aren't accurate. Dan explains how our minds operate like a "vintage Swiss Army knife," well suited for small, predictable communities but poorly equipped for modern risks like scams, cybersecurity threats, and low-probability, high-impact events. Topics include why near-misses teach the wrong lessons, why authority and urgency are so effective in manipulation, and why expecting people to be perfectly rational is a losing strategy. We also discuss practical ways to slow decisions down and bring in outside perspectives to help design safeguards that work with human nature. Show Notes: [01:52] Dan Ariely joins the episode to examine how human decision-making actually works under pressure. [03:41] How intuition can point us in the wrong direction during moments of stress and uncertainty. [05:26] Trust, authority, and urgency as core levers used in fraud and manipulation. [07:12] When decisions feel overwhelming, the brain's tendency to rely on shortcuts. [08:58] Dan explains why rational thinking often breaks down faster than we expect. [10:34] Near-misses and how they quietly reinforce false confidence instead of caution. [12:09] Why repeated exposure to risk doesn't necessarily make people better decision-makers. [13:55] Stress-driven pattern seeking and the human need for explanation and control. [15:32] Superstition, conspiracy thinking, and what they reveal about uncertainty tolerance. [17:18] Why modern threats like scams and cybercrime confuse brains built for simpler environments. [18:56] The "vintage Swiss Army knife" analogy and what it says about human cognition. [20:41] Authority cues and why skepticism often disappears in the presence of perceived expertise. [22:27] Slowing decisions down as one of the most reliable defenses against manipulation. [24:13] Dan reflects on how behavioral economics challenged traditional models of rational choice. [25:59] A personal story about surviving severe burns and the long path to self-acceptance. [27:44] How hiding and blending in can quietly shape behavior and self-perception. [29:31] Social pressure and its role in everyday compliance and risk-taking. [31:16] Why vulnerability doesn't look the way people expect it to. [33:02] Expecting perfect rationality and why that assumption consistently fails. [34:47] Designing systems that account for human limits instead of ignoring them. [36:33] The value of outside perspective when decisions carry real consequences. [38:19] Practical ways individuals can reduce risk by changing how they decide. [40:05] When slowing down matters more than having more information. [41:52] Applying behavioral insights to fraud prevention and digital safety. [43:38] Why better tools help, but mindset still plays a critical role. [45:24] Final thoughts on working with human nature rather than fighting it. [48:02] What listeners can take away about decision-making, risk, and self-awareness. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

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! Now, onto the episode! In this episode of Behavioral Grooves, we sit down with behavioral economics pioneer George Loewenstein, whose groundbreaking research has shaped our understanding of decision-making, risk, incentives, emotions, and so much more. Though not a household name, George is a legend in the field—so much so that Richard Thaler dedicated his book Misbehaving to him. Our conversation explores his latest work on boredom, a surprisingly understudied emotion, and what it reveals about attention, productivity, and even workplace meetings. Along the way, we touch on curiosity, music, and why boredom itself may hold the key to unlocking deeper flow and focus. Links Behavioral Grooves LIVE in Minneapolis! About George

This week on Black & Published, Nikesha speaks with Honorée Fannone Jeffers, the author of Misbehaving at the Crossroads: Essays and Writings. The book blends, history, cultural criticism and memoir seamlessly to weave a story about Black women in America, their worth, their value, and their inherent humanity and equality. In our conversation, Honorée explained how she found peace and a place of healing for herself after her mother's passing. Plus, the Black women writers who have carried her to where she is now. And why she says she had to leave the classroom seven years before retirement after giving her love for free. Mahogany Books Mentioned in this episode:Rate & ReviewThanks for listening, family!

“One time, that wicked king of the Daityas saw his son of lotus-like face and beautiful eyes, surrounded by women, having returned from the home of the guru. In his hand, that boy was holding a slate which had the mark of a chakra at the top and the name of Krishna written with great adoration.” (Narasimha Purana, 41.35-36)

Best-selling author Honorée Fanonne Jeffers (The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois) joins Daniel Ford on the show to discuss her latest book Misbehaving at the Crossroads: Essays & Writings.

The New York Times-bestselling, National Book Award-nominated author of The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois and The Age of Phillis makes her nonfiction debut with this personal and thought-provoking work that explores the journeys and possibilities of Black women throughout American history and in contemporary times. Honorée Fanonne Jeffers is at a crossroads. Traditional African/Black American cultures present the crossroads as a place of simultaneous difficulty and possibility. In contemporary times, Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the phrase “intersectionality” to explain the unique position of Black women in America. In many ways, they are at a third crossroads: attempting to fit into notions of femininity and respectability primarily assigned to White women, while inventing improvisational strategies to combat oppression. In Misbehaving at the Crossroads: Essays and Writings (Harper, 2025), Jeffers explores the emotional and historical tensions in Black women's public lives and her own private life. She charts voyages of Black girlhood to womanhood and the currents buffeting these journeys, including the difficulties of racially gendered oppression, the challenges of documenting Black women's ancestry; the adultification of Black girls; the irony of Black female respectability politics; the origins of Womanism/Black feminism; and resistance to White supremacy and patriarchy. As Jeffers shows with empathy and wisdom, naming difficult historical truths represents both Blues and transcendence, a crossroads that speaks. Necessary and sharply observed, provocative and humane, and full of the insight and brilliance that has characterized her poetry and fiction, Misbehaving at the Crossroads illustrates the life of one extraordinary Black woman—and her extraordinary foremothers.

Men have always had the clear advantage of being able to inspect their genitals with very little effort on their part. Women's genitals are not quite as accessible, resulting in a lot more uncertainty about what's normal and what's not.
