Evo nekih natuknica o kojima se u videu govori.
Pomoć kome je potrebna, dobar primjer u ophođenju, i utjeha – to ljudi trebaju.
Kalendar događaja – rituali: primjerice Zen Budisti i mjesec, recitira se i gleda u mjesec, obilježavanje određenih dana.
Dobro govorništvo – primjerice Pentakosne crkve u SADu s fantastičnim uvjerljivim govorima.
Povezivanje tijela i ideja (kupka i osjećaj ‘pročišćenja’ ).
Umjetnost – religije vam ukazuju na ono što volite i ono čega se bojite. Muzeji bi trebali imati sobu za ljubav, umjetnost bi trebala biti didaktična, poboljšavati društvo.
Vjere čine institucije, to su masivni pokretači
Propovijed – predavanje (promjeni život, održi predavanje)
Ponavljanje – odlika koju bi trebalo preuzeti iz vjere
Zamijeniti sveto pismo kulturom.

5. Nismo programirani tražiti’istinu’, programirani smo ‘pobijediti’
Za priznanje da nam argumenti ne drže vodu:

It’s going to be harder than you think. Back when evolution was still sculpting your ancestor’s brains, admitting you were wrong to the person you were debating got you bred out of existence. These days, being able to admit you’re wrong is the greatest skill you can develop if you want to stay married.

4. Mozgovi nam ne razumiju vjerojatnost

It’s called neglect of probability. Our brains are great for doing a lot of things. Calculating probability is not one of them.

3. Uvjereni smo da nas svi žele dograbiti

We start assuming people have ulterior motives and hidden agendas as early as age 7 and from that point on, we never have to lose another argument for the rest of our lives. After all, if we assume the person we’re arguing with is lying, the only thing they can prove to us is that they’re a really good liar. This is how racism, sexism and any other sort of discrimination work. Once someone’s made-up their mind that color is the culprit, convincing them otherwise is going to be close to impossible, no matter how ridiculous the scenario.

2. Biološki imamo ugrađene dvostruke standarde

It’s called the fundamental attribution error.
It’s a universal thought process that says when other people screw up, it’s because they’re stupid or evil. But when we screw up, it’s totally circumstantial.

1. Činjenice nam ne mijenjaju mišljenje

The scary part? The same logical fallacy that prevents that crazy guy who keeps predicting the end of the world over and over from admitting maybe he was full of shit is the same fallacy that drives partisan politics and, therefore, government policy. Sleep tight, voters! Evolution is working against us.
