Your Brain Is Lying to You | How to Find the Truth

Описание: In an era of information overload, the biggest challenge isn't finding answers—it's knowing who to trust. 🧠✨

In this deep dive, we explore 'The Architecture of Knowing.' We start by looking at our pattern-seeking brains and why we fall into cognitive traps like the Dunning-Kruger effect. We then examine the institutional 'gatekeepers' of knowledge, the crisis in peer review, and why the current system is under pressure.

Most importantly, we provide you with practical tools for the digital age. Learn why 'Vertical Reading' (CRAAP) is no longer enough and how to master 'Lateral Reading' using the SIFT method:

✅ Stop
✅ Investigate the source
✅ Find better coverage
✅ Trace claims back to the original context

By the end of this video, you'll understand how to build Epistemic Resilience—a mindset that helps you navigate the maze of data and opinions to find what’s actually true
