I’m Dr. David Robertson, and this is "Beyond the Told," where we dive deep to uncover and challenge the narratives that shape our world.

🔍 In This Episode:

In today's episode, we discuss the theory of "Epistemic Rigidity," which describes the process of why people struggle to update their beliefs despite new, accurate information. We discuss various cognitive biases, social influences, and mental shortcuts that contribute to this phenomenon, providing examples and strategies to overcome these barriers and embrace critical thinking and continuous learning.

💡 Why It Matters:

Understanding "Epistemic Rigidity" is crucial because it helps us recognize and navigate the mental and social barriers that prevent us from updating our beliefs. By being aware of these biases and influences, we can foster a culture of critical thinking, improve personal and professional decision-making, and enhance our ability to adapt and grow in an ever-changing world.
