How does magical thinking help or hurt us in our everyday lives?? What would we lose if we removed the enchantment that it provides? Magical thinking is inherent in the human experience and persists even in an era dominated by the scientific worldview.
Matthew Hutson is a journalist who writes for The New Yorker and other publications. Matt is also the author of the book The 7 Laws of Magical Thinking: How Irrational Beliefs Keep Us Happy, Healthy, and Sane. He shows us how magical thinking is hardwired into our brains and how we use it to both our benefit and detriment depending on the circumstance.
Matt and Greg discuss Matt’s book and his different examples of magical thinking in scientific and practical environments. They discuss different experiments and trials which include lucky golf balls and sweaters worn by Mr. Rogers and the feelings of those who were nearly struck down by lightning. Matt discusses how error management theory and conditioned response theory help illuminate the roots of magical thinking.
