40 - Epistemic Innocence & Gaslighting - Exploring Irrational Beliefs' Complex Role
Are we too quick to dismiss irrational beliefs as nothing but cognitive failures? Let's embark on a philosophical journey with Professor Lisa Bortolotti as we peel back the layers of epistemic innocence, a concept suggesting that not all our false beliefs are cognitive missteps; some might actually buffer us against the harsh realities of life. In a world where we strive for rationality, this episode promises to reveal the surprising benefits that can emerge from the irrational corners of our minds.
This conversation also takes a serious turn as we confront the sinister tactics of gaslighting, a form of psychological manipulation that skews our perception of reality. While epistemic innocence might illuminate the unexpected upsides to certain irrational beliefs, it serves as no refuge for the detrimental effects of gaslighting. With a critical eye, we analyze how to distinguish between beliefs that are truly serving us and those that are the result of deceit, and propose ways to strengthen our mental fortitude against manipulation. Join us for an enlightening discussion that navigates the fine line between cognitive quirks that are beneficial and manipulations that are harmful, guided by the insightful perspectives of Professor Bortolotti.
