You are not quite who you think you are — and neither is anyone else. We all like to imagine that we know why we make the decisions we do, like what to buy, where to eat and who to vote for. But scientists have discovered we make most of our decisions so fast, we’re not even aware of it. Most of the time, we’re operating on autopilot.
Oregon Public Broadcasting produced “Hacking Your Mind”, a four-part PBS television series delving into these new scientific discoveries.
This companion podcast explores some of the documentaries’ key concepts. In the five podcast episodes, we’ll address police bias, how we form habits and why we are so drawn to polarization in politics. We’ll also learn where our personal biases come from, and how we are influenced by our social circles.
