The new book of Nikita Nepryakhin is an exciting journey through the world of illusions and the labyrinth of the features of thinking, which gives answers to many questions. Why do we believe in all nonsense? Where do people get so many prejudices? What is mystical thinking? What is the difference between science and obscurantism? How to separate the truth from fakes and think flexibly and impartially? How to look into the future with the help of abduction?
