About this conversation:
Mark Changizi is a cognitive scientist who claims to have come up with a variety of discoveries such as why we see in color, why we see illusions, why we have forward-facing eyes, why the brain is structured as it is, why animals have as many limbs and fingers as they do, why the dictionary is organized as it is, why fingers get pruney when wet, where emotional expressions came from, and how we acquired writing, language and music. These discoveries and others can be read about in his six books, which include Vision Revolution, Harnessed, and his latest, Expressly Human. 

This conversation explores the topics of personal background and loss, understanding mass hysteria, virtue signalling and narrative creation, top-down and bottom-up influence, psychological trauma and manipulation, psychopaths and societal evil, and preventing future societal problems.

The conversation explores the importance of civil liberties, the dangers of the 'greater good' mentality, the role of government and libertarianism, the consequences of speaking out and censorship, the counterintuitive nature of free expression and truth, the concept of religion as a complex evolved entity, and reflecting on life's deep questions.

I hope you enjoy it!
