Mental immunity [sound recording] : infectious ideas, mind-parasites, and the search for a better way to think / by Norman, Andy,author.(CARDINAL)851785; Pinker, Steven,1954-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)332272; Constant, Charles,narrator.;
Read by Charles Constant.Covid denial. Anti-vaxx. Flat Earth theory. Astonishingly irrational ideas are spreading. Why is this happening, and what can we do about it? Andy Norman shows that these phenomena employ clever strategies to circumvent mental and cultural immune systems. Norman shows this as more than mere analogy: minds and cultures really do have immune systems, and they really can break down. Fortunately, they can also be built up. He calls for a rigorous science of mental immune health to revolutionize our capacity for critical thinking.
