Authors@Google: Michael Shermer Michael Shermer discusses his book "Mind of the Market" as part of the Authors@Google series. How did we evolve from ancient hunter-gatherers to modern consumer-traders? Why are people so irrational when it comes to money and business? Bestselling author Dr. Michael Shermer argues that evolution provides an answer to both of these questions through the new science of evolutionary economics. Drawing on research from neuroeconomics, Shermer explores what brain scans reveal about bargaining, snap purchases, and how trust is established in business. Utilizing experiments in behavioral economics, Shermer shows why people hang on to losing stocks and failing companies, why business negotiations often disintegrate into emotional tit-for-tat disputes, and why money does not make us happy. Employing research from complexity theory, Shermer shows how evolution and economics are both examples of a larger phenomenon of complex adaptive systems. Along the way, Shermer answers such provocative questions as: Do our tribal roots mean that we will always be a sucker for brands? How is the biochemical joy of sex similar to the rewards of business cooperation? How can nations increase trust within and between their borders? Finally, Shermer considers the consequences of globalization and what will happen if nations allow free trade across their borders. This event took place January 29, 2008 at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA.

Vedic Astrology: Michael Shermer vs Jeffrey Armstrong In a scenario set up to debunk astrology, Jeffrey Armstrong completely outshines Michael Shermer in a way that any scientist should say is "statistically interesting." The SCENARIO: Jeffrey reads NINE charts in about TWENTY minutes. Most charts are usually given an hour of study each. EXPERIMENT I: face-to-face reading with a skeptic. The subject, afterwards, said Jeffrey's reading "officially blew me away." EXPERIMENT II: Nine "blind" readings. Results: 105 of 137—or 77%—of Jeffrey's statements deemed accurate, ALL scores 63% or over, high of 89%. EXPERIMENT III: The kicker. Two of the nine, unbeknownst to Jeffrey or the subjects, have their charts switched. Accuracy rating drops to 38 and 21% respectively. Switched back to true charts, accuracy goes to 94 and 92%.

Michael Shermer: Why people believe strange things http://www.ted.com Why do people see the Virgin Mary on cheese sandwiches or hear demonic lyrics in "Stairway to Heaven"? Using video, images and music, professional skeptic Michael Shermer explores these and other phenomena, including UFOs and alien sightings. He offers cognitive context: In the absence of sound science, incomplete information can combine with the power of suggestion (helping us hear those Satanic lyrics in Led Zeppelin). In fact, he says, humans tend to convince ourselves to believe: We overvalue the "hits" that support our beliefs, and discount the more numerous "misses."

Michael Shermer on FSM...addresses lone Pastafarian Dr. Michael Shermer, President of the Sceptic Society, addresses the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, blessed be his noodly appendages, (At 4:00) while addressing the mistaken beliefs of the world's false religions. Without confirming the proven existence of our saucy saviour, he does demonstrate some concern about the theological rift that afflics the world's vast Pastafarian community: The noodle-width schism which threatens to tear apart the social fabric of the one true religion. Such a calamity would inevitably call into question the future survival of the human species and must be averted at all costs. PASTAFARI OF THE WORLD: We must stick together against those who would use our internal noodle-width debate to diminish the value of our faith. Resist the tyranical evil of those who wage war on our one true noodle goodness. We must starch united against those who would conspire to manipulate the world's pasta markets and profit unfairly from the rising price of pasta! They try to convince us to stock up on rice. NEVER! This may be our last chance! So please, stir the sauce slowly! PASTAFARI OF THE WORLD UNITE!! Pasta Akhbar. Ramen.

Jacoby-Shermer debate, 1/10 [This is part 1 of Dr Jacoby's opening statement, refuting the existence of God.] The debate between international Christian speaker Douglas Jacoby and agnostic and skeptic Michael Shermer took place Saturday June 23, the highlight of the 2007 International Apologetics Conference, sponsored by the Apologetics Research Society. The debate topic: Does God Exist? Dr. Shermer is one of the three or four most famous atheist / agnostic scholars in the world, author of 12 books and President of the Skeptics Society. He has held dozens of debates, appeared on Oprah, 20/20, Dateline, Tom Snyder, Larry King Live and The History Channel. Dr. Jacoby, director of the Athens Institute of Ministry, has spoken in hundreds of cities in some 80 nations. This exciting event was held before a packed house, with an overflow crowd watching close circuit monitors outside the venue. Kedron Jones (Board member of ARS) was moderator and affable host. Shermer and Jacoby both bring their best analytical skills to this debate. The interchange is lively, with both speakers willing to concede points made by their opponent. You will benefit greatly from weighing the arguments put forth. Douglas' clear and incisive arguments for the existence of God are persuasive. He argues from cosmology (both its creation and its complexity). and the unmistakable fact that moral absolutes are part of reality. Shermer makes the case that religions are socially constructed, historically dependent, and that the faith you adhere to and the god you believe in depend largely on when in history and where in the world you were born. The two-hour debate is lively, engaging and instructional. You can watch each speaker's opening, rebuttal, rebuttal summary, and conclusion here at YouTube. For the entire debate in one DVD, however, including the 40+ minute Q&A session, please visit www.douglasjacoby.com. The Skeptics Society website is www.skeptic.com.
