Ik heb net een heel interessant verhaal gelezen waarom je je denkbeelden vaak niet laat beïnvloeden door feiten.
Een heel goed en doorwrocht verhaal wat ik nog zeker 5 keer ga herlezen voor ik daarover een discussie met jullie wil starten. Binnenkort dus.
At first glance, it’s hard to see why evolution would have let humans stay resistant to facts. “You don’t want to be a denialist and say, ‘Oh, that’s not a tiger, why should I believe that’s a tiger?’ because you could get eaten,” says McIntyre, a research fellow at the Center for Philosophy and History of Science at Boston University.
But from an evolutionary perspective, there are more important things than truth. Take the same scenario McIntyre mentioned and flip it on its head—you hear a growl in the bushes that sounds remarkably tiger-like. The safest thing to do is probably high-tail it out of there, even if it turns out it was just your buddy messing with you. Survival is more important than truth.
