On the Gist, Annie recaps the unifying messages from Sen. Sanders and V.P. Biden from the virtual 2020 Democratic National Convention.
In the interview, Annie talks with Jay van Bavel, an associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at NYU, about how extreme partisanship occurs when traditional beliefs are not updated in rational ways, especially when it comes to wearing a mask during the global pandemic. Prof. van Bavel explains how a partisan mind interprets information in a way that affirms their identity, and how that might lead them to stray from the path of facts.

CrowdScience - What’s the yeast doing inside my bread?
If you’re one of the millions of people who used lockdown to try something new like baking sourdough bread, you may well be wondering what’s happening chemically inside your loaf, especially if the end result keeps changing. Well, you’re not alone. Listeners Soheil and Sean are both keen bakers but want to know more about the thing that makes bread rise: yeast. What is yeast? Where does it come from and can you catch it? And how hard is it to ‘make’ yourself? Soon after lockdown took effect, commercial supplies of the stuff disappeared from supermarket shelves across the globe.
The shortage also affected brewers the world over. A big fan of yeast in most of its forms, Marnie Chesterton took on the challenge of creating her own. She talks to the brewers who hunt rare strains to create the perfect beer, and hears from the biologist who says these amazing microbes, used for thousands of years, could be used to make food production more sustainable. And she discovers how this simple ingredient could be instrumental in the fight against climate change. Presented by Marnie Chesterton and Produced by Marijke Peters for the BBC World Service.

From the devastation of the service industry to never-ending central bank intervention, these factors make predicting the future of the economy nearly impossible.
This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Bitstamp and Nexo.io.
The “three-body problem” is a physics issue that deals with unpredictable futures.
In a recent essay, John Mauldin argues the economy is actually experiencing an “eight-body problem.”
On today’s episode, NLW explores each of those dimensions shaping the challenge we face, including:
- Central bank intervention
- The destruction of the service industry
- The implosion of global trade
In the end, he argues that in a world ruled by chaos, fighting to control the narrative might be the only rational move.
