  • Summary

  • This chapter of Bluey Bros refers to episode 1:28, Grannies. We love this one. The hilarity is perfect. It does bring us to several interesting issues in childhood and society. In this episode, we discuss how stereotypes develop among young children and how difficult it can be to dislodge errant beliefs. We speak about how disconfirming evidence does little to change people's minds and how important metacognition is for rethinking their thoughts. Once people get dug in on an extreme position, then emotion, as opposed to evidence, drives their thinking. Callouts here to Brian Massumi, Celeste Headlee, Stephen Covey, country humor band Pinkard & Bowden, and others lead back into the hilarity of the episode and the need to compromise central to sibling relationships. And it demonstrates that old dogs CAN learn new tricks.
