Ep 952 - You Can See Everything: Can You Tell a True Believer from a Con Artist?
Tom Perry and Brother Jake return to Infants on Thrones to join Glenn in an old-school conversation about Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos, and Nathan Fielder’s documentary You Can See Everything.
Drawing parallels between Mormon missionary zeal and Holmes’ convictions, Glenn, Tom, and Jake explore belief, self-deception, cognitive dissonance, and the stories we tell ourselves about other people.
Through the lenses of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive defusion, and Anil Seth’s concept of controlled hallucination, they consider a deceptively simple question: How much can we really know about another person’s experience—or even our own?
