YouTube Description
as posted by the channelShow Summary:
Today, Nate is joined by social psychologist Jonathan Haidt. Jonathan is one of the leaders in the understanding of human biases and predispositions, and how they affect cooperation, communication, and change-making. Human psychology and behavior is at the root of the larger predicament that humanity faces. Is it possible to use a better understanding of our own psychology to change our behavior and the behavior of future generations? Is social media taking advantage of the vulnerabilities in our social-psychological nature? How can we redesign systems technologies and systems to bring out the better sides of our natures, instead of amplifying the worst?
