  Beliefs constitute our lifeline to a vast and incoprehensible world. The human mind is a compulsive believer. Our web of beliefs reflects the complexity of the reality we are embedded in, even though they lack in credibility and accuracy to a large extent.  How are beliefs formed and revised?  Read the article here
