As humans we all do stupid things, like worship celebrities, troll people we don't know, waste money buying expensive organic food, or following the most recent internet trend. But the question is WHY do we do stupid things? What makes us want to know everything our favorite movie star is doing? Or obsessively follow our favorite musician online? We do not know these people; they are not our friends. They don’t even know we exist. So, what does science say on why we worship them?On the flip side of that, what makes an Internet Troll? We all know to not read the comments, but what makes someone make it their job to hate on someone. (We’re talking taking hours out of their day to put one person down). Is it for attention, or do they just get joy from upsetting others? One thing we do know is that Trolls are sad, pathetic losers. Why do we waste our money buying organic food with no proof that is actually better for us or the environment, or when there isn't even a standard definition of what organic food is?Why do humans follow the most recent trend, like planking or the cinnamon challenge? What is the allure in following the crowd?Listen now to learn some of the science behind the reasons why we do stupid things.
