Let’s Begin…
We believe a lot of things because we’ve been told - from our personal acquaintances and also experts. With so many belief systems being passed to us, how do we know whom to trust? Using contemporary examples, Ram Neta explains when listening to experts is a good idea...and when it’s not.
You are deciding whether to stay in your hometown and take a low-paying job or whether to move yourself and your family to a new town to take a higher-paying job. You’ve never been to the new town before, so you want to find out more information about what it would be like to live there. Where will you find that information? Why will you trust those sources? Which sources would you not trust?
