    Have you ever assumed that most people think like you—only to be shocked when they don’t? That’s the False Consensus Effect, a psychological bias that makes us overestimate how common our opinions, beliefs, and behaviors really are. In this episode of Theory of Us, host Dr. Ed Barlow explores:What the False Consensus Effect is and why our brains fall for it.Ways to challenge our assumptions and think more objectively. Before diving into today’s topic, Ed also reflects on metacognition—thinking about how we think—and shares an update about the podcast’s shift toward more audio-focused content over video. Tune in to discover how our minds trick us into believing the world is more like us than it really is—and how we can break free from this bias. Listen now and join the conversation!

    Episode 4: Talking Stoicism with Trevor Smith

    Today, we talk about stoicism with the owner of local business 'netfishes', Mr. Trevor Smith! We discuss things I've learned podcasting and then move into his journey with Stoicism! I ended up uploading this months after filming it and just needed to throw it up. It doesn't have the high-tech transitions (especially for a non-existent book commercial, ha!) I will probably use moving forward. Thanks for listening/watching!
