Today I’m speaking with Dr. Michael Shermer. Michael has been on the Joe Rogan podcast multiple times, is the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine, the host of the Science Salon Podcast, and a Presidential Fellow at Chapman University where he teaches Skepticism 101. For 18 years he was a monthly columnist for Scientific American. He is also a New York Times best-selling author of such books as Why People Believe Weird Things and The Believing Brain.
I invited Michael on because I wanted to hear from a professional skeptic how to think critically so we get closer to the truth, which is what this entire podcast is all about. In this interview he shared techniques to avoid our brain tricking us into believing things that aren’t true, what Michael believes that many skeptics don’t, his take on UFO’s in light of government released video footage, how to improve our personality traits, how in the world birds could evolve wings, and much more.
