Ep 36 Why Unanimity Beats Accuracy Every Time
Today on Sketches of the Mind, traces a single mechanism — the pressure of an apparently unanimous group — from a 1951 psychology lab back through a 1518 dancing plague and the Salem witch trials, and forward into the 1986 Challenger disaster and modern social-media pile-ons. Fact-checked, historically honest about the real harm involved, and more hopeful by the end than you'd expect: it only takes one dissenting voice to break it.
