Nano Book Review reviewed The Knowledge Illusion by Steven Sloman
Great Information, Middling Delivery
4 stars
Everyone thinks they know more than they actually do. Yes, everyone. We must. If we knew how much we didn't know we'd all be paralyzed with ignorance. When you prove to people how little they know, they don't like it. They especially don't like it if their ideas weren't rational in the first place. Most of the shit we know we know because other people told us.
Even so, society is mostly okay.
