Let me introduce Jon Guy, the brilliant mind behind "Think Straight: An Owner's Manual for the Mind." After serving 17 years in a Wyoming prison, John emerged as a leading advocate for critical thinking. This episode sheds light on his incredible transformation and the pivotal moments that shaped his perspective on the importance of making informed decisions. Jon's story is a testament to the power of perseverance and intellectual growth.

Jon didn't just survive in jail, he thrived. He took a daunting 25-year sentence and turned it into an opportunity for profound personal development, reading nearly 790 books and over 10,000 research papers on law, philosophy, and science.
We'll examine the differences between genuine skepticism and mere contrarianism, especially in the context of public health and misinformation. Jon shares his insights on the misleading tactics of the alternative medicine industry and the importance of scientific literacy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the transformative power of critical thinking and the importance of staying informed. Stay sharp, stay savvy, and keep your critical thinking hat shiny!
