12 Angry Men
Connection to rationality:
This is just the perfect movie about rationality. Damn, there is even a fantastic YouTube series discussing this movie in the context of instrumental rationality! And besides, I have never met anyone who did not enjoy this classic film.
This classic film is a masterclass in group decision-making, overcoming biases, and the process of critical thinking. The plot revolves around a jury deliberating the guilt of a young man accused of murder. Initially, 11 out of the 12 jurors vote “guilty,” but one juror (played by Henry Fonda) questions the certainty of the evidence. It is an absolute must-watch.

Just one correction: orthologous and paralogous are not genes that are distinguished by being in the same location or not. They refer to the ultimate event that lead to the separation as two different genes, in the case of orthology refers to a speciation event and in the case of paralogous genes, to a duplication event. The terms are in my oppinion not great and I wish they would mostly disappear from scientific discussions.
