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 or not to marry Hugo. Although you love many things about Hugo, there are other things that you don’t like (e.g. Hugo can sometimes make insensitive jokes, and he sometimes acts inappropriately around your family), and you doubt that those things can be changed. How would you go about making your decision? Would you ask others for advice? Why or why not?
