Why do intelligent, sincere people sometimes cling to ideas that contradict overwhelming evidence?

This Lareaux Learning Library episode explores the psychology behind false certainty—using Flat Earth belief as a lens to understand fear, identity, and the human need for control.

Rather than mocking or shaming, we examine how the brain responds to uncertainty, why simplified worldviews can feel emotionally safer, and how belief systems can become protective armor during times of rapid change. From neuroscience to mysticism, this lesson bridges science and soul.

Ancient wisdom traditions didn’t deny complexity—they embraced it. They taught that awe, humility, and curiosity are signs of inner strength, not weakness. When we allow the universe to be vast, we grow alongside it.

This episode isn’t about winning arguments.
It’s about understanding minds.
And remembering that expansion—not contraction—is the path of awakening.
