Coming up on this weekend's show:

• The Black Moses
• Chocolate Moses
• Some other kind of Moses?

Fact Check had an interesting article http://www.factcheck.org/specialreports/cognitive_science_and_factcheckorg_or_why_we.html explaining somewhat the reason behind why they do what they do and it comes down to this:

"a study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology by the University of Southern California’s Peter Kim shows that meeting a charge (regardless of its truth or falsity) with silence increases the chances that others will believe the claim. Giving false claims a free pass, in other words, is more likely to result in false beliefs "

There's not much more I can add to that. Just keep it in mind. When people make false assertions around you, when people say things that seem wrong, stop them. Point out their error or ask them to prove their assertions. Make them stop and think. It might not change their mind, it might not change their lives but it just might make some cumulative difference when combined with others.

Remember the only thing holding us back from being the people we'd like to be, is us.
