"Imagine how different our world would be if reason and truth always won,
if we were more like Houdini or Sherlock Holmes than like Arthur Conan
Doyle. In reality, however, we are all guilty of 'motivated reasoning' –
holding demonstrably false beliefs in the face of overwhelming evidence
to the contrary. Instead of being genuinely open-minded, we search for
data to support our beliefs."
Imagine if we stopped being ruled so much by our emotions when discussing sensitive topics
