Truth and Bias

Amanda and Jordan discuss the dangers of relying solely on intuition and cognitive biases when trying to determine the truth. They examine the history of wrongful convictions and how the fetishization of logic and reason came from a world where no one cared about wrongful convictions. They also talk about the cognitive biases that can lead people to see what they want to see, and how confirmation bias affects people's ability to recognize what is meaningful or not.
