#57 How the Dinosaurs Disappeared — and Why We Love the Story
About this Episode
What really killed the dinosaurs?
We’ve all heard the asteroid story: a rock from space slams into Earth, fire rains down, and the mighty dinosaurs vanish overnight. It’s clean. It’s dramatic. It’s the perfect ending.
But the truth may be messier — a long decline fueled by volcanic eruptions, climate swings, and a final “kill cascade.” So why do we cling to the Hollywood version?
In this episode of Think First, Jim Detjen explores how the extinction story has become part science, part mythology — and why the way we tell it might reveal more about us than about the dinosaurs.
Stay sharp. Stay skeptical. #SpotTheGaslight
