In this episode, the story of a doomsday cult who predicted the exact date and circumstances of the end of the world, and what happened when that date passed and the world did not end.Also, we explore our drive to remain consistent via our desire to reduce cognitive dissonance. When you notice you’ve done something you believe is wrong, then you will either stop doing that thing or stop believing it is wrong. And if you believe something is true but you come across some information that disconfirms that belief, you’ll either change your belief, challenge the validity of the challenging information, or go looking for confirmation you were right all along.<a href="https://youarenotsosmart.com/podcast/">Previous Episodes</a><a href="https://kitted.shop/referred-by-davidmcraney66">Kitted Shop</a><a href="https://kitted.app/article/kitted/the-story-of-kitted/0051">The Story of Kitted</a><a href="https://www.davidmcraney.com/howmindschangehome">How Minds Change</a><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/davidmcraney.bsky.social">David McRaney’s BlueSky</a><a href="https://twitter.com/davidmcraney">David McRaney’s Twitter</a><a href="https://twitter.com/notsmartblog">YANSS Twitter</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/youarenotsosmart/">YANSS Facebook</a><a href="https://you-are-not-so-smart.simplecast.com/episodes/www.youarenotsosmart.com">Show Notes</a><a href="https://davidmcraney.substack.com/">Newsletter</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/youarenotsosmart">Patreon</a> Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
