Normalcy Bias
Bill Nye and Jordan Harbinger discuss the Normalcy Bias, the tendency to believe things will remain normal despite evidence to the contrary. They use the example of the Carrington event in 1859, where telegraph wires were zapped by a solar flare, causing fires and shocks. They also discuss the potential impact of a similar event today, where all electricity would be turned off, and how it would affect our daily lives.In this clip
