Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. As always, I'm here with my producer, Jason

to Philipo. When I heard about Spencer Greenberg over at ClearThinking.org, I was immediately

interested in what he was doing. Spencer and his team are busy creating numerous free

training tools we can use to improve critical thinking and eliminate bias to improve our

decision making. The skill of noticing bad logic, misleading arguments, and invalid evidence

is extremely important. This skill can not only help you avoid being misled by others,

but when used properly, it can help you avoid misleading yourself. Ideally, this skill

becomes so honed that your brain alerts you to bad arguments, the pattern recognition,

in real time, as they are happening. Today, we'll discover common logical fallacies and

concepts like black and white thinking, cherry picking, straw man arguments, and the typical

mind fallacy, and we'll see why these inhibit our thinking and keep us from getting closer

to the truth. We'll also learn ways to spot this type of cognitive bias in others, in

ourselves, and in what we read as well as what we see is on television. Finally, we'll

explore ways in which we can improve our critical thinking, cut through these faulty arguments

and biases, and get closer to the truth, which is so sorely needed in this day and age.

If you want to know how I manage to book all these great people, all these great guests

for the show, and manage my relationships using systems and tiny habits, just a few minutes

per day, by the way, check out our level one course, which is free, over at jordanharbinger.com

Spencer, thanks for coming on the show, my friend. Thanks so much for having me.

So you're a mathematician and entrepreneur. You know, I haven't heard those things go

together that often. I really haven't. Yeah, I guess it's not that common, but I tend
