If you live near Fremont in California, you might want to free up your evening on Friday 6th March, because Michael Shermer is going to give a talk there on why people believe weird things. Admission is only $10, and Michael Shermer is a great speaker. His talk covers the following topics:

  • Is ESP real?
  • Does “alternative” medicine really work?
  • What causes mass delusion?
  • What’s up with UFOs sightings?
  • Why are people so gullible?
  • What’s the evidence for Near-Death Experiences, Alien Abductions, Recovered Memories, Creationism, Holocaust Denial, Race, or God?

Should be very interesting! The talk is being organised by the Ohlone College Psychology Club.
