Why is there so much polarization, and what does this have to do with neuroscience? Why do people on all sides of the political spectrum feel that if they could shout loudly enough in all caps on Twitter, everyone would come to see they’re right?

Join as Eagleman draws from distant fields to show why we always feel so certain we know the truth.
