We hold these truths with Dan Crenshaw.

Welcome back folks.

If you're a regular listener of this podcast, you might have heard me say in the past that I

I bimmone the fact that one of the greatest problems facing America is lack of critical thinking skills.

It happens on all sides of politics.

It happens in everyday life.

And we have a guy here, a doctor, Dr. Todd Rose, who has written a book about this problem.

It's called the collective illusions, conformity, complicity, and the science of why we make bad things.

So Dr. Todd Rose is the co-founder of the Think Tank Populous, author of several best-selling books on psychology of personal achievement.

This is a really interesting book.

So it sheds light on why we fall victim to social influences, how we misjudge the beliefs of others.

Also explains the deep psychological underpinnings of the cultural breakdown of public trust,

and why so many people are being pressured into self-sensorship.

Todd, thanks for being on.

Thanks for having me.
