  • A comment on Talk: Michael Shermer: Why people believe weird things

    Apr 16 2013: This is a fantastic talk! I believe that people can be mislead for a few internal reasons; People are programmed to look for things that coincide with their beliefs, leading to a perpetual bias. Colloquially, people are looking to disprove the beliefs opposite of theirs, and simply, people are looking for explanations without the proper tools, or just looking for something to believe in.

    A comment on Conversation: What can you suggest to the teenage world, based on your mistakes and experience?

    Jun 8 2012: Trust yourself. Be flexible but value your base of knowledge and experience. Listen to what others say but trust yourself! It is so easy for a teenagers best ideas to be tainted by the people around them! Trust yourself for you are your own scientist!
