About this listen
Welcome back to Reason Check, where we slow down to understand what’s really going on underneath the noise of our most polarized topics. In this episode, host Stephen dives deep into a pattern of thinking we all fall into: landing on a belief first, driven by emotion or identity, and then cherry-picking evidence to back it up.
We explore how this "conclusion-first" approach shows up everywhere, from our political stances to our dietary choices, and why it acts as the opposite of being genuinely informed. Join us as we discuss the dangers of living in parallel realities and learn practical ways to "check" our own reasoning by seeking out the evidence that makes us most uncomfortable.
