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!
Thinking of you.
