In this episode, Drs. Derek and Laura Cabrera of Cornell University dig into a deceptively simple question: How do you know you’re right? They explore why we often mistake feelings for facts, how our identities get tangled up in our ideas, and why being wrong feels exactly like being right—until it doesn't.
You’ll learn about confirmation bias, mental models, and the dangerous comfort of the “Scooby Snack” you get from always feeling right. If you've ever walked into a room convinced you're the smartest one there, this episode is your wake-up call.
