We’re All Somebody’s Fool | Dan Simons & Chris Chabris
Think you’re too smart to be taken in by a fraudster? If so, that may make you an even bigger mark. In this episode, Caleb and Greg speak with psychologists Dan Simons of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Chris Chabris of the Geisinger Research Institute. Dan and Chris’s new book, “Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do About It,” goes deep on why we’re all potential victims of clever (or not-so-clever) scams.
