Hearing an idea many times does not make it true, but it can make it feel increasingly trustworthy. In this episode, we explore why repetition has so much power over the mind, how familiarity can be mistaken for truth, and how that mechanism shapes opinions, memories, and everyday decisions. It is a clear and thoughtful look at what happens when a phrase, a version of events, or a belief starts to feel solid not because it has been proven, but because it has settled into the mind through constant repetition.
