Description: In their fall expedition, Reverse the Curve, eighth grade students at King Middle School set out to answer some pretty big questions--How do our choices contribute to global warming? What are the imbalances of carbon in the atmosphere? and How can we reverse global warming? They learned about wind power, built model wind turbines, and researched the carbon footprint of simple, everyday products. In these podcasts, you will hear the story of the making of these products and their carbon footprints.

When Axton Betz-Hamilton was 11 years old, her parents' identities were stolen. At that time, in the early 90s, consumer protection services for identity theft victims were basically non-existent. So the family dealt with the consequences as best they could. But then when Axton got to college, she realized that her identity had been stolen as well. Her credit score was in the lowest 2%.  As she was working to restore her credit, she inadvertently discovered who had stolen the family's identity. It would change everything forever.   View the photograph Axton describes here.   Criminal is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX. If you haven't already, please review us on Apple Podcasts!

1 quote:[topic-start]
"When feeling a lack of control, we sometimes try to impose control by seeing patterns where none exist."[topic-end]


I. 
How much we like an explanation should have nothing to do with how good it is.[topic-start]
Good explanations gives us pleasure whilst no explanation can leave us dissatisfied.[point-end]

Furthermore, some explanations are more pleasurable, they feel like they fit better, so they're more enjoyable to contemplate.[point-end]

The risk is, we end up seeking explanations when there isn't any, or we end up drawing the more pleasurable conclusion rather than the more accurate one.[topic-end]

II. 
Uncertainty is one of the first steps when it comes to acquiring knowledge.[topic-start]

We often find uncertainty as a negative thing. However, we should view uncertainty as an opportunity for us to learn something.[point-end]

When there's uncertainty, it's often a sign that there's something that's worth paying attention to, that we can better understand.[topic-end]

III. 
The ease in which we construct stories can often distract us from the underlying facts.[topic-start]
In the jury system, an influential model called the story model, details how, if you change the order in which people hear testimonies, such that it makes it easier or harder to construct a story that's consistent with the prosecution, it can affect how likely it is that juries think that that story is true or false.[point-end]

In other words, how we present the facts and construct the story around the facts, can significantly impact on the outcome, even if the facts are the same.[topic-end]

1 question:[topic-start]
Can you think of something that you tried to find an explanation for where none existed or where it was wrong?[topic-end]

What else is in the episode:[topic-start]
Simple vs complex explanations, and how we can better see the bigger picture.[point-end]

How we often don't understand things as well as we thought.[point-end]
The importance of intentionally explaining and understanding the opposing side.[topic-end]

Who is Tania Lombrozo:[topic-start]
Professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.[point-end]
Her work dives into the drive to explain things and its relationship to understanding, aspects of causal and moral reasoning and different kinds of learning.

Tania Lombrozo - Our drive to explain, uncertainty as an opportunity & stories around facts

Why is my friend late? How does nuclear fission work? What occurs when I sneeze? We all need to understand why certain things happen. Some researchers think the drive to explain the world is a basic human impulse, similar to thirst or hunger. This week on Hidden Brain, we begin a three part series on why we tell stories. Psychologist Tania Lombrozo discusses how explanations can lead to discovery, delight, and disaster.

The Story of Stories

How our mind explains things:[topic-start]
“The way that the mind works, very frequently, is that we start from a decision, or we start from a belief, and then the stories that explain it come to our mind. Conclusions come first, and rationalizations come later.”[topic-end]
How we come to believe things:[topic-start]
"The real cause of your belief in a political position, the real causes are rooted in your personal history. They’re rooted in who are the people that you trusted and what they seemed to believe in, and it has very little to do with the reasons that come to your mind, why your position is correct and the position of the other side is nonsensical."[topic-end]
Who is Daniel Kahneman:[topic-start]
Nobel prize winning psychologist and economist who helped created the field of behavioural economics.

The Nobel Prize-winning psychologist on why we think and act the way we do — and why facts matter less than we think in forming our beliefs.
With his book Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman emerged as one of the most intriguing voices on the complexity of human thought and behavior. He is a psychologist who won the Nobel Prize in economics for helping to create the field of behavioral economics — and is a self-described “constant worrier.” It’s fun, helpful, and more than a little unnerving to apply his insights into why we think and act the way we do in this moment of social and political tumult.
