About

A channel about the ways your mind misleads you.

Real studies on how your mind misleads you, and what you can actually do about it. A new video every Tuesday on YouTube, with short cuts on TikTok and Instagram.

What every episode does

[1]

One way your mind misleads you

A single, specific slip: a choice you'd defend but never made, a bike you can't draw, a number that pulls your answer.

[2]

The real study behind it

The experiment that caught it, told plainly: who took part, what they did, what happened.

[3]

What you can actually do

Something to try, check or watch for, with how well it's been tested.

How we use evidence

So you can judge what we tell you
Rule 1

Real studies only

Every episode is built on published research, read in the original paper, never from a press summary.

Rule 2

Every study is cited

On screen in the video, and listed under it with a link. Shorts list theirs in the description.

Rule 3

We say how strong it is

Advice is labelled once: tested when a study tested it, our suggestion when we drew it from the findings.

Rule 4

We keep the limits

Each episode says, in a few plain sentences, what its studies can't show.

Rule 5

A study earns its place

If it needs a stack of caveats to stand up, we cut it or fold it into a stronger one.

Rule 6

No presenter, no “Dr.”

Nobody here poses as an expert. We don't diagnose or treat anyone, or stand in for a clinician. This is general education.
