How can we avoid being in a cargo cult?
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.
