Feelings vs. Facts - Science of Why We Make Bad Decisions - FutureIQ

In this episode, we will talk about why we make wrong decisions without realizing it—and why we stubbornly stick to them! Have you ever made a choice, felt totally confident about it, and later realized you were missing key information? Turns out, most of us do this all the time! A study from top universities reveals how overconfidence, bias, and selective information shape our thinking—and why even when given the full picture, 2 out of 3 people refuse to change their minds.
We’ll break down how these mental traps work, how they’re used to manipulate us, and—most importantly—how to outsmart them. You’ll also hear real-life examples of how misinformation spreads and how to make smarter, more informed decisions. If you’ve ever wondered why people believe things that aren’t true (or if you might be doing it too!), this episode is for you!
