On The Peak of Mount Stupid Podcast

In a time when strong opinions are fashionable and pulling other people's views down seems normal, have you ever spent time considering why you think the way you think? On The Peak Of Mount Stupid is a podcast that introduces you to different ways of thinking and areas of philosophy and psychology that could help you to understand your biases and the lenses through which you view the world, all explained in a light-hearted and simple way. The aim isn’t to tell you what to think, but to explore different principles and ways of thinking. The format of the podcast is simple - each week Sam brings a philosophy or area of critical thinking to the table that Andrew doesn’t know about and explains it to him. They talk about it, try to get to grips with it and then try to apply it to day-to-day life.

Cognitive Dissonance

January 21, 2020 • Sam Hardy and Andrew Stansbury • Season 1 • Episode 2

In this episode, Sam and Andrew attempt to unpack the complicated topic that is Cognitive Dissonance. This is the phenomenon of holding two very contentious ideas in our minds without seeing the irony or hypocrisy. Cognitive dissonance affects all of us and there isn't much we can do about that, but if we can start to recognise it and acknowledge it, maybe we can start to change our attitudes and thinking.

Episodes are released at 7am on Tuesday mornings.
