Why do people see the Virgin Mary on cheese sandwiches or hear demonic lyrics in "Stairway to Heaven"? Using video, images and music, professional skeptic Michael Shermer explores these and other phenomena, including UFOs and alien sightings. He offers cognitive context: In the absence of sound science, incomplete information can combine with the power of suggestion (helping us hear those Satanic lyrics in Led Zeppelin). In fact, he says, humans tend to convince ourselves to believe: We overvalue the "hits" that support our beliefs, and discount the more numerous "misses."

This one isn't so funny, but it goes very well with the previous one:

It seems like we're living in an epidemic of false belief. Clearly the other side just doesn’t have all the facts, right? Or are they really that stupid? In this fascinating and hilarious talk, cognitive scientist Philip Fernbach peels back the layers of what we really know and reveals some surprising truths about the human mind. Philip Fernbach is a cognitive scientist and professor in the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Co-author of The Knowledge Ilusion: Why We Never Think Alone, Philip's research focuses on why we think we know more than we actually do and the implications this has on individuals and society. He lives in Boulder with his wife and two children. In his free time, he plays bluegrass music and ice hockey.

1. People are weird, look in the damn mirror, people!

2. What people think isn't true ... because monkey brains.

3. People who disagree with #1 and #2 are megalomaniacs.

I hardly ever look into a mirror, since I'm so ugly the damned thing might break, and then I'd have 7 years of bad luck. ;-)

I like TheraminTrees' video on the subject:

I haven't even watched the whole video yet, but it's a lucid explication of the cult recruitment process.

I guess Aristotle was right when he said “Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man.” It's much easier to indoctrinate children, which is why so many religious communities abhor birth control and abortion - they want more little minds to bend to their will.

Now I'll go watch the rest.
