Bayes’ Theory vs Cognitive Bias: How Your Mind Lies… and How to Outsmart It
Season 1 Episode 237
In this episode of The Vancrux Podcast, we explore one of the most important psychological battles you face every day — the war between your cognitive biases and your ability to think clearly using Bayes’ Theory.
We begin with the hidden mechanics of cognitive bias: How your brain filters reality, distorts truth, protects your ego, and creates shortcuts that feel correct… but often aren’t. Then we shift into Bayesian thinking — the disciplined, liberating habit of updating your beliefs as new evidence comes in.
This episode dives deep into:
🔥 Part 1 — Cognitive Bias
- Why your mind is wired to take mental shortcuts
- How ego, emotion, and survival shape your perception
- Why “feeling right” often wins over “being correct”
- How bias influences relationships, self-esteem, risk-taking, and purpose
- The neuroscience behind why your brain hates uncertainty
- And why most people don’t even realise their mind is lying to them
🔥 Part 2 — Bayes’ Theory
- A clear explanation of how Bayesian thinking works in everyday life
- How to build beliefs based on evidence instead of identity
- How to adapt faster, make clearer decisions, and evolve your worldview
- Why this mindset leads to better success, stronger confidence, and higher consciousness
- How probability thinking creates emotional resilience
- And how updating your beliefs makes you more intelligent, intuitive, and grounded
