The pattern behind self-deception

Michael Shermer, the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine and the Executive Director of the Skeptics Society, gave a talk at TED about self-deception — how our mind (sometimes) plays tricks on us. A couple of interesting tidbits:

• Dopamine antagonists decrease the patterns we see
• Dopamine agonists increase the patterns we see

Wonderful stuff!
