概要
Why do black cats get a bad rap? In this episode, Artie Ficial and Ina Telligens explore the psychology and cultural history of superstition, unpacking why humans cling to beliefs that are often… well, a little irrational. From anxiety relief and confidence boosts to historical fears dating back to the 13th-century, we trace how myths about black cats became so persistent - and why they still affect adoption rates today.
Along the way, we touch on how superstitions offer comfort, can improve performance, and even intersect with modern psychology. Plus, we peek at the philosophical side, with insights from thinkers like Spinoza and Hobbes, showing how hope and fear shape the stories we tell ourselves.
It’s part history lesson, part mind-hack guide, and all delivered with AI-powered charm.
