    Check out David McRaney if you haven’t already. I have the same interests. Most people don’t explore what actually motivates their beliefs. It’s a fascinating subject.

      That articles reminds me of when I listened How to Talk to a Science Denier. They’re fascinating because their beliefs are so obviously wrong even as they proclaim the real facts and flawless logic are on their side. It’s a wonder how people end up believing what they believe.

      And then I take a step back and wonder…what am I motivated to believe? And I get where some of my axioms come from.

      In any case, that looks like a useful book! Thanks for the recommendation.
