JUST KEY IN THE TITLE AS WRITTEN TO FIND THE VIDEO IN YOUTUBE (And it’s best on a flat screen TV)  

1) Why do we believe in things that aren’t true | Philip Fernbach | TEDxMileHigh

It seems we’re living in an era of conspiracy theories, false beliefs and fake news.

Philip is a cognitive scientist whose research focuses on why we think we knowmore than we actually do and why we believe things that have been proven to be false.

A case of someone who is unaware of his/her incompetence.

2) LAKE TAUPO – THE MOST FREQUENTLY ACTIVE SUPERVOLCANO ON EARTH

Geologist Colin Wilson explains the history of the massive Taupo and Oruanui eruptions by analyzing geological layers around New Zealand’s largest lake.

3) Life in China vs. life in America -The TRUTH about the most HATED country in the world.

An American just landed in Shanghai and he was not ready for what he saw.

In this video he compares life in the USA with life in China. 

Enjoy watching,
Mike
