If there's one thing we know about social media, it's that misinformation is everywhere,

especially when it comes to personal finance.

Financially inclined from Marketplace is a podcast you can trust to help you get serious about your money

so you can build a life you've always dreamed of.

I'm the host, Janelli Espinal, and each week I ask experts important money questions,

like how to negotiate job offers, how to choose a college that you can afford, and how to talk

about money with friends and family. Listen to financially inclined wherever you get your podcasts.

That scene in through the looking glass when the queen brags to Alice about believing in six impossible things before breakfast,

it is usually read as absurd humor.

But what if the really preposterous thing is to believe that we can tell the difference between what is real and unreal, possible, and impossible?

From KERA in Dallas, this is think. I'm Chris Boyd. We all know

what impossible means, right? Like absolutely, positively cannot happen. But there are nearly

unlimited accounts of human beings experiencing things we cannot explain, from premonitions

and ghost sightings to alien abductions.

And maybe if we stay open to the idea that these experiences have something to teach us,

they can lead us toward a certain kind of truth.

Jeffrey Krippel holds the J. Newton Razor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice

University.

His new book is called How to Think Impossibly

about souls, UFOs, time, belief, and everything else. Jeff, welcome to think. Thank you. Thank you very much.

What does it mean to think impossibly? It means not to assume what you think and what you believe and to recognize that impossibility

is a function of your worldview and not of what actually happens.
