Why do we fear Halloween candy but not vending machines? Why do “witch hunts” recur so often in history? How dangerous are serial killers, really? We live in a world seemingly rife with danger, a villainous stranger or new deadly bacteria lurking around every corner. So how do we sort through these fears, determining which are well-founded and which have been manufactured? How can our biases and psychology allow these fears to overtake us, and how can we learn to think logically in a world driven by sensationalism?
Psychologist Natashia Swalve will join us to discuss her book, The Fear Knot, which examines the toll our fears take on us, on an individual and societal level, and how we can learn to think critically, examine our own beliefs, and become confident consumers of media and popular culture.
