TrustTalk - It's all about TrustReasoning Runs on TrustWhen we disagree with someone, it's tempting to assume the problem is simple: they're irrational, biased, or misinformed. But what if human reasoning doesn't work the way we think it does? What if reasoning isn't primarily about finding the truth on our own, but about exchanging arguments with others?
In this episode of TrustTalk, we speak with cognitive scientist Hugo Mercier of the CNRS in Paris and co-author of The Enigma of Reason. He explains why humans may be better at reasoning than we assume, why disagreement often turns on trust rather than logic, and what this...

SkeptikónSommes-nous (si) idiot-e-s ? - Les séminaires douteux #2Pour ce deuxième séminaire douteux, nous recevons Hugo Mercier & Maxime Derex. Hugo est venu nous parler du fait que les humains ne sont pas aussi crédules qu'on peut le croire, et qu'il est en général (et malgré ce que l'on entend souvent) très difficile de manipuler des foules entières de personnes. Maxime, quant à lui, nous racontes comment les innovations culturelles peuvent se transmettre (et éventuellement s'améliorer) de générations en générations, sans que les individus ne comprennent forcément exactement de quoi il en retourne à leur échelle.

Un libro al díaThe Enigma of Reason - Dan Sperber, Hugo MercierEl Enigma de la Razón desafía la creencia tradicional de que la razón es una facultad diseñada para que los individuos alcancen el conocimiento y tomen mejores decisiones por su cuenta. Hugo Mercier y Dan Sperber proponen que la razón es, en realidad, un módulo especializado que evolucionó para un propósito estrictamente social: justificarnos ante los demás y convencer a otros mediante la argumentación.A través de esta perspectiva interaccionista, el libro resuelve el misterio de por qué la razón humana parece tan "fallida" y sesgada.

Tervettä skeptisyyttäJakso 2: Mitä on kriittinen ajattelu (Tuukka Tomperi)Kriittisellä ajattelulla on usein negatiivinen maine. Se mielletään vikojen etsinnäksi ja yleiseksi ilon pilaamiseksi. Näin ei kuitenkaan tarvitse olla, vaan kyse on yleishyödyllisestä kansalaistaidosta, missä kuka tahansa voi kehittyä paremmaksi. Jakson vieraana on kriittisen ajattelun ja kasvatustieteen tutkija, filosofi Tuukka Tomperi, jonka kanssa keskustellaan monipuolisesti kriittisen ajattelun määritelmästä, sisällöstä ja harjoittamisesta.

The Neha Anwar PodcastEpisode 54: Hugo Mercier is a prominent cognitive scientist and researcherHugo Mercier is a prominent cognitive scientist and researcher known for his groundbreaking work in the fields of psychology and philosophy. Mercier developed a passion for understanding the intricacies of human thought and reasoning from an early age.
Most of his work so far has focused on the function and workings of reasoning. According to the argumentative theory of reasoning, the function of reasoning is argumentative: to find and evaluate arguments so as to convince others and only be convinced when it is appropriate. Accordingly, reasoning works well as an argumentative device, but quite...

CognitationsEP #1 | The Evolutionary Function Of Reasoning and Epistemic Vigilance | Hugo MercierHumans reason about many matters: from the most simple of concerns, like the planning of a weekend outing; to the most complex and intellectual topics. Given the ubiquity of reasoning, and the broad range of situations which call for it, we tend to take it for granted. But for these very same reasons, the study of reasoning is quite central to understanding the workings of the human mind. One can wonder how we came to acquire such a capacity, how our minds are so wired to make inferences, the places where reasoning breaks down, and so much more.

Mere Mortals Book ReviewsNot Born Yesterday (Hugo Mercier) - Book ReviewWould you believe that I'm a shape-shifting lizard who thinks that the Earth is flat? 'Not Born Yesterday' by Hugo Mercier is an argument against the perceived notion that humans are gullible. In the age of fake news, false rumours and conspiracies it is easy to think that we are too credulous. However, Mercier argues that we have developed open vigilance mechanisms which allow us to sort out the incoming communication from other people to let us know who to trust and what to believe.I summarised the book as follows. "It's definitely an 'intellectual' book that requires...

We see the moats in our brothers' eyes very well. We do not see the beams and our own. We have a duty to others to try to help them to remove the beams in a polite, quiet, sometimes insistent way... think very carefully about the ways in which we can genuinely be constructive in cr...

On OpinionConflict is Good, with Ian Leslie“The avoidance of conflict is actually the real problem”We traditionally view an argument as a symptom of a problematic relationship, but relationship psychologists have found that they actually lead to healthier and happier people. Children who grow up arguing with their parents do better in school, and couples who air their disagreements stay together longer.What holds true for the family, holds true for all groups of people: conflict is central to Democracy. Humans evolved to reason collectively: we need each other to get to the truth.“For valuable conflict to occur, you need two things...

The Michael Shermer Show101. Hugo Mercier — Not Born Yesterday: The Science of Who We Trust and What We BelieveNot Born Yesterday explains how we decide who we can trust and what we should believe — and argues that we're pretty good at making these decisions. Hugo Mercier demonstrates how virtually all attempts at mass persuasion — whether by religious leaders, politicians, or advertisers — fail miserably. Drawing on recent findings from political science and other fields ranging from history to anthropology, Mercier shows that the narrative of widespread gullibility, in which a credulous public is easily misled by demagogues and charlatans, is simply wrong. Why is mass persuasion so difficult? Mercier uses the latest findings from experimental psychology to show...

Point of InquiryDid Reason Evolve For Arguing? - Hugo MercierHost: Chris Mooney
Why are human beings simultaneously capable of reasoning, and yet so bad at it? Why do we have such faulty mechanisms as the "confirmation bias" embedded in our brains, and yet at the same time, find ourselves capable of brilliant rhetoric and complex mathematical calculations?
According to Hugo Mercier, we've been reasoning about reason all wrong. Reasoning is very good at what it probably evolved to let us do—argue in favor of what we believe and try to convince others that we're right.
