It is important to always try and grasp onto a more accurate view of the world. The theories that we’ve created about the world intuitively, often as children, are very wrong.
Ever wondered why you hold onto certain beliefs, even when they don’t quite add up? In this eye-opening episode of 'Recover Yourself', host MartinJon sits down with Andrew, the author of 'ScienceBlind', to unpack the concept of intuitive theories. These are the assumptions we make about the world, often formed in childhood, that can stick with us well into adulthood, shaping our perceptions and actions in ways we might not even realize.
Andrew dives into how these theories, though rooted in our earliest understandings, can be surprisingly resistant to change, even when faced with hard scientific evidence. The conversation doesn't just stop at the hard sciences like biology and physics; it extends into the softer realms of our lives, particularly our relationships. MartinJon and Andrew explore how these deeply ingrained beliefs can affect everything from our personal interactions to our broader worldviews.
They discuss the importance of recognizing and challenging these intuitive theories to foster a more accurate understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from outdated perceptions and embrace a clearer, more informed perspective on life.
