Dakota Midday: When People Believe Weird Things

Why do people believe weird things? The outlandish the unproven, the too-good-to-be true?

Dr. Michael Shermer  joins Dakota Midday host Lori Walsh for a conversation about human behavior, healthy skepticism, and why you shouldn't believe what you might already believe.

The Madeline A. Young Distinguished Speaker Series at Black Hills State University is welcoming Dr. Michael Shermer this Thursday.

Dr. Shermer is a founding publisher of Skeptic magazine, a monthly columnist for Scientific American, a regular contributor to Time.com, and Presidential Fellow at Chapman University. His latest book is called “The Moral Arc: How Science and Reason Lead Humanity Toward Truth, Justice, and Freedom.”
