This is such an awesome episode. So many surprising yet obvious things were said. First time hearing of KahnemanSome of the most celebrated studies are not replicable. Especially in psychology. because when you do a study, you know what you want to find and that creates bias. The surprising studies are the ones that get celebrated. The more surprising a result is the less likely it’s correct. There are two ways that ideas come to mind. One is intuitive and the other one you have to work for — System 1 and system 2. The correlation between confidence and accuracy is not high.Our intuition betrays us when making moral decisions - showing a picture of a poor girl makes us give more than if we were shown a picture of the girl and her brother. We give significantly less if we were told there are thousands more where they came from. (this is crazy. explains disparity of outrage between police brutality and statistics). If you want people to care about a cause, personalize it. People don’t look forward to future experiences, they look forward to the memories of future experiences. (this is definitely true with running lol)Sam makes a solid argument for the need of authoritarianism, based on a Nick Bostrom essay. Has to do with balls in a jar. with social media, transgressions of very different magnitudes are treated alike
