Ever found yourself suddenly noticing your "unique" car model all over the roads or wondered why certain historical figures dominate our textbooks? Prepare to have your mind expanded as Joe and I, Adam, take you through an enlightening exploration of cognitive biases on the Idiots Guide. Joe and I dissect the mental traps that lead us to see the world through a distorted lens, from the frequency illusion to the overrepresented tales of successes like those of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

Picture this: you're seething with road rage or witness someone stealing and think, "What's wrong with people these days?" Our episode doesn't hold back as we delve into the darker consequences of dehumanization, a cognitive bias that can justify harm and perpetuate conflict. We unravel the psychological threads that allow such behaviors to manifest, from the derogatory dehumanization in warfare to the subtler forms in our daily encounters. But it's not all grim – we also pause to marvel at the underestimated intelligence of species like Orcas, challenging our anthropocentric views and urging a more nuanced appreciation of animal smarts.

Wrapping up this mind-bending episode, we reflect on the importance of staying vigilant against the subtle biases that shape our actions and judgments. Through a mix of humor and hard-hitting truths, Joe and I aim to arm you with the awareness you need to make more informed decisions and view the world with a fresh, critical eye. So come and join us in hacking your way to a clearer understanding of the human mind, where the only thing we promise is that you'll never look at your biases—or Orcas—the same way again.
