  • PRIMAL INTELLIGENCE: You’re Smarter Than You Realize

    PRIMAL INTELLIGENCE: You’re Smarter Than You Realize
    Oct 2 2025
    Angus Fletcher has a PhD in literature from Yale and teaches English at Ohio State. He’s passionate about Shakespeare. He probably owns a tweed jacket. In other words, he’s the last person you’d expect to receive the Army’s fourth-highest civilian honor. But when he’s not parsing King Lear or dissecting Hamlet, Angus is pioneering research into narrative cognition — our ability to think in stories — and how it can make us smarter. When the Army put his theories to the test, his methods reshaped how soldiers learn to think clearly under pressure and act decisively in volatile environments. Now, he has distilled this work into a new book called Primal Intelligence. Malcolm Gladwell says it's confirmation that Angus "has never had an uninteresting thought." We think you’ll agree. — — — (04:21) What is Primal Intelligence? (8:24) Computers Think in Probabilities. Humans Think in Possibilities.

  • STEVEN PINKER: How Common Knowledge and Rationality Make the World Go Round

    STEVEN PINKER: How Common Knowledge and Rationality Make the World Go Round
    Sep 25 2025
    Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker shares five key insights from his brand new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows. He reveals how “common knowledge” — the hidden force of knowing what others know — shapes everything from financial bubbles and political revolutions to why we say “Netflix and chill.” Then we revisit our 2021 conversation with Steve about rationality, where he explains why smart people believe dumb things, why we're terrible at assessing risk, and how our species can be both brilliantly rational and spectacularly irrational at the same time.

  • AI & THE BRAIN: How Different Are They?

    AI & THE BRAIN: How Different Are They?
    Sep 18 2025
    Today's AI runs on neural networks, a design originally inspired by the human brain. As these systems grow more sophisticated, they're raising a profound question: Even if they don't work exactly like our brains, could something resembling a "mind" eventually emerge from the machines we're building?

I love how the show helps me shift my paradigm, or gives me great ideas, or reaffirms ideas I already had. it's a great show I look forward to every episode. I've bought and read many books that I heard about on the show.

Great show

I really tried to keep a open mind for the "Drugs" episode that I listened to on another platform first. People with mental illnesses are "Non adults"? Are you kidding me? How in this age, can both the host and the interviewee be so ridiculously tone deaf and repeatedly refer to those who might suffer from genetically inherited mental illness issues "non adults" who chose not to "grow up". What great "science" they chose to spew on their platform. I'll never listen to another one of these again and hope that they choose to do better journalism in the future that more responsibly talks about a significant portion of the population that has already suffered enough bias.
