Oddbean new post about login | logout Fascinating interview with Penn & Teller in Rolling Stone, where they talk about how magic can distort a person's sense of reality, and how they now understand that it's a pretty dangerous thing to do if taken too far. https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/media_attachments/files/111/162/892/405/929/584/original/314386f488ca7628.png
@fee855d8 Honestly I've been trying to say this for quite a long time now. People are taught from an early age that they can basically pick and choose what to believe reality is and thus invent their own little reality to live in, then project it outwards and grow angry if anything dares challenge it. Though ultimately I think our best long term solution is schools need to have critical thinking classes. You can't directly challenge the former, but you can at least harden people's logic ability
