Description

Why can a simple political debate trigger real physical pain in your stomach?

In this episode, Alice and Marc dive into the neuroscience of bad faith. Discover why your rational brain is often just a “shady lawyer” serving your emotions (the Elephant) and how the fear of being wrong activates the same neural areas as an actual physical injury.

Understand the trap of Error Blindness (why being wrong feels exactly like being right) and learn how to switch from Soldier mode to Scout mode (Scout Mindset) to finally lay down your arms.
