How can we avoid being in a cargo cult? - a podcast by IVM Podcasts

This episode of Smarter with Sid explores how correlation is not causation, and how superstition makes processes inefficient.

For example, when you come back home after scoring a century or excelling in an exam, have you also tried to associate the century based on whether you wore your left pad first and then the right pad; or have you tried to associate your good exam paper with a certain pen you wrote the exam with? This precise pattern of following a certain routine with the hope of excelling every time is exactly what Cargo Cult is. Tune in to find out more.
