Scienceblind

In Scienceblind, psychologist Andrew Shtulman explores how our childhood-held intuitive theories about the world often lead to lasting misconceptions that hinder scientific understanding. These ingrained ideas can prevent us from learning new, accurate information as adults, affecting our perceptions of topics like vaccines, climate change, and evolution. The book offers insights into how dismantling these early theories and building knowledge from the ground up can lead to a clearer, more accurate view of the world and improve societal debates.
