Samebito - The Danger of Assumptions - EP 21

I'm on a yacht excursion this time (I guess I'm into boating or something) when I'm confronted by a new passenger.. In this week's episode I'll share the Japanese mythological tale around the samebito - aka sharkman, and we'll explore why it's human nature to judge things based on their appearances. I also take a jab at paying for marriage via bride price (I mistakenly refer to it as a dowry), talk about my own prejudices and shortcomings, and offer a simple first step in trying to eliminate our biases and assumptions.
