Shermer 阐明了我们的大脑如何选择性地评估数据，以此来印证我们已经得出的结论（信念）。结合进化论、认知科学与神经科学，他不仅审视了超自然信念，还探讨了政治与经济方面的信念。

整个“鸟人”事件很大程度上说明了为什么迈克尔·舍默（Michael Shermer）的《The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies---How We Construct Beliefs and Reinforce Them as Truths》（大意：笃信的大脑）http://www.amazon.com/Believing-Brain-Conspiracies-How-Const... 可能是…
The whole "bird man" incident does a lot to illustrate why The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies---How We Construct Beliefs and Reinforce Them as Truths by Michael Shermer http://www.amazon.com/Believing-Brain-Conspiracies-How-Const... may be the…
…大脑在向你的意识层面呈现信息。我也注意到了这一点！太神奇了，而且我觉得这就是所谓“直觉（gut feel）”的来源。如果你对这些内容感兴趣，可以去看看迈克尔·舍默的《The Believing Brain》和丹尼尔·丹尼特的《Consciousness Explained》。
…brain presenting information to your conscsious parts. I notice this too! It's amazing, and I think it's where the whole "gut feel" comes from. If you're interested in more of this stuff check out "The Believing Brain" by Michael Shermer, and "Consciousness Explained" by Daniel Dennett.
…逻辑谬误、迷信、群体癔症/幻觉以及其他愚蠢的行为。与我们的祖先相比，我们在智力上已经高度发达了。然而，我们的许多同龄人仍然会“看到”鬼魂。迈克尔·舍默的《The Believing Brain》非常通俗易懂地介绍了这种现象是如何产生的，以及为什么它至今依然存在。> 人们有多少次会真正拿出显微镜和科学仪器去…
…fallacies, superstitions, mass hysterias/hallucinations and other silly behaviour. We're intellectually sophisticated compared to our ancestors. Yet, many of our contemporaries still "see" ghosts. "The Believing Brain" by Michael Shermer is a very approachable intro to the topic of how this phenomenon came about and why it persists. > How many times do people pull out their microscope and scientific instruments to…

…观察它在什么地方似乎被打破了。面对令人不安的新事件，人类的大脑会本能地跳去设想各种解释，并围绕其构建一套叙事。大脑就是一个“信仰引擎” http://www.amazon.com/The-Believing-Brain-Conspiracies-How-C... ，面对令人震惊的新闻，我们所有人都想要一个答案，哪怕是一个可能大错特错、粗糙草率的答案，也不愿面对悬而未决的疑问。我还清楚地记得…
…observe where it appears to be violated. The human mind leaps to supposing explanations and forming a narrative around new, disturbing events. The mind is a "belief engine" http://www.amazon.com/The-Believing-Brain-Conspiracies-How-C... and all of us would like to get an answer, even a quick and dirty answer that may be flat wrong, rather than have unanswered questions about a shocking news story. I remember well…
…当我们试图从某些引人注目的事实陈述中得出有趣而大胆的结论时，我们越应该去核实这一陈述是否属实。可以去读读迈克尔·舍默的新书《The Believing Brain》，http://www.amazon.com/Believing-Brain-Conspiracies-How-Const... 我现在正在读，书中详细阐述了人们是多么容易不加核实就轻信某种言论，以及…
…interesting and bold conclusions we might be tempted to draw from some striking factual statement, the more we should check it out to see if the statement can be verified. See Michael Shermer's new book The Believing Brain, http://www.amazon.com/Believing-Brain-Conspiracies-How-Const... which I am reading right now, for much more on how easy it is to believe a statement without checking it for accuracy first, and how…
