The speaker Mahzarin Bianji talked about "unconscious awareness" which is how humans do things without actually knowing. To demonstrate this Bianji presented certain "bugs" that people are concern about. These "bugs" as she mentioned are constantly seen in test or surveys around the world. Some of them consist of questions like: What's the highest cause of death? Give three or four reasons why you love your partner. Write down your last numbers of your social security, estimate the number of doctors that live in NY and then add them up.
After watching this film it simply states that things don't always appear to be what they really are. That your brain can easily be tricked into thinking you are right about something when if fact it has been proven to be wrong. This is in fact the hardest thing to make people realize. That is basically why Bianji provides these examples to show that science works exactly the same way.
