When Intelligence Goes Bad
- Richard Graham
History is littered with the intellectual remains of some incredibly smart people who nevertheless let credulity get the better of them. Some have come to believe a wide range of extremely weird things, often in opposition to an overwhelming body of evidence and scientific consensus. In this seminar we will examine some of these cases and identify a set of logical problems in thinking that smart people are paradoxically more vulnerable to than their less intelligent and less educated peers.
