Michael Shermer: Kendini aldatmanın altındaki paternler

Human beings are natural pattern-seekers, instinctively connecting dots to make sense of the world. This survival trait, honed over millions of years, can lead to both lifesaving vigilance and dangerous superstitions. Sometimes our brains invent meaning where none exists, such as seeing faces in rocks or believing in pseudoscientific devices that have caused real harm. The line between healthy skepticism and overactive imagination is blurred by the chemistry of dopamine and our deep need for control.
