The Scout Mindset ft. Julia Galef

<div class="def"> <p>Why do people bitterly defend their beliefs no matter what, instead of just searching for what is true?  Julia Galef joins the podcast to discuss her new book The Scout Mindset.  We discuss the differences between Scout Mindset and Soldier Mindset, what makes it so hard to change our minds, how to improve at being less biased, and the intersection between identity and belief.</p> <p>Recommended Reading:</p> <p>How to Actually Change Your Mind - <a href="https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/how-to-actually-change-your-mind">https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/how-to-actually-change-your-mind</a></p> <p>Superforecasting - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Superforecasting-Science-Prediction-Philip-Tetlock/dp/0804136718"> https://www.amazon.com/Superforecasting-Science-Prediction-Philip-Tetlock/dp/0804136718</a></p> <p>SlateStarCodex Prediction Calibration - <a href="https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/04/08/2019-predictions-calibration-results/"> https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/04/08/2019-predictions-calibration-results/</a></p> <p>To make sure you hear every episode, join our Patreon at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/neoliberalproject">https://www.patreon.com/neoliberalproject</a>.
