Very bad wizards is a podcast with a philosopher, my dad, and psychologist Dave Pizarro. The discussion contains bad words that I'm not allowed to say, and knowing my dad some very inappropriate jokes. It's like an after school special!
Joe Henrich joins the podcast to tell us that we know nothing about his work and that how we got to teach a class in anything is absolutely amazing. We continue our discussion from Episode 17 about his critique of the social and behavioral sciences in "The Weirdest People in the World" and his work in small scale societies on fairness norms. We also talk about the weird American obsession with happiness, monkeys throwing cucumbers, and why some people reject "hyper-fair" offers of more than the half the pot in the ultimatum games.
