034 - The Post Hoc Fallacy
Podcast: You Are Not So SmartPublished On: Tue Oct 14 2014
Description: Do you believe in magical amulets? Apparently, in 2011, enough people did to allow one company to earn $34 million making and selling them to professional athletes, celebrities, and even a former president...all thanks to the post hoc fallacy. In this episode you'll learn more about how this fallacy led to the rise and fall of the Power Balance bracelet, and whether or not you might believe in a little magic yourself.Patreon: http://patreon.com/youarenotsosmart Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
