Statistics, gossip from your friends, scientific articles, YouTube videos, influencers, the media, podcasts and many more - all of these constantly give you information that might be true, might not be true, or something in between.No matter what - these pieces of information are going to shape your mind, just like a bar of chocolate is going to shape your belly. And you will try to fight against some of this information. But not always because the information is wrong. Most likely because it doesn’t match your world view, or you think that it goes against your personal values. But asking “how can I know this?” - and asking “how-questions” about the information that you are exposed to is both hard for us to do, and it often takes personal and emotional strength to do.Asking “how can I know this?” is about taking yourself seriously - but also about doing the hard and often necessary thing. It’s about understanding what it actually is that you agree or disagree with.This episode will take you through: urban legends, banning water, Trump, statistics, AI, lies, journalism, global problems, vulnerability, 8 spiders a year, second hand knowledge, the star signs, fact checking - and what kickstarts it all is the age old question: “what is the total length of the blood vessels in our body?”I once saw this funny quote on Facebook: “Don’t believe everything you read online” - quote, Hans Christian Shakespeare.
