26C3: The Lost Cosmonauts 2/5

Clip 2/5
Speaker: Brian Dunning

Critical Thinking
I'm going to talk about the benefits of applying critical thinking stories that we hear in the popular media, and the example I'll be focusing on is the story of the Lost Cosmonauts: Soviet Cosmonauts supposed to have died in space, but who were erased from history. We have audio recordings, allegedly from these dying Cosmonauts, and we'll apply critical thinking to learn what the real source was.

This guy does a little error. He inputs the Western mentality into Soviet minds... We were/ are different...

@err0r it ain't on Youtube but you should check out the lectures on TED.com

@err0r People much rather prefer sensationalized myths over "boring" reality. Sad but true.

Fantastic upload. Surprised this doesn't have more views or any comments. Great to see quality material like this on YT--wish there was more like it. I've been looking for info on this specific cosmonaut audio, and this has some great insights. Cheers.
