Which kind of wisdom will people need to master to overcome major negative societal and/or psychological changes after the pandemic?Igor and Charles share and discuss responses from 57 of the world's leading behavioral and social scientists, collected as part of the World After Covid (https://worldaftercovid.info/) project. Each episode, four responses are selected. This time, the conversation covers themes of social support, sympathy & compassion, acknowledging uncertainty, and balancing diverse interests in the midst of the pandemic. Igor points out that humanity has a greater capacity for accepting and managing uncertainty than we might realize, and Charles is intrigued by the often-overlooked benefits of interactions with strangers.Featuring:Katie McLaughlin (https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/people/kate-mclaughlin), John L.
