Michael Shermer is the founder of the Skeptic’s Society, and author of the fabulous book, “Why People Believe Weird Things”. The video’s worth the watch if, for nothing else, to hear the difference between a poetic song and the same one written with science in mind. Not to mention the kids throwing balls back and forth. Concentrate really hard on what Shermer asks you to watch in the video! It’s worth it!
Just watched a wonderful, brief presentation by Michael Shermer on selective observation and humanity’s tendency to fixate on certain details.
