LinkedIn's next big idea club is sponsored by Slack. This week, the hosts play a book bite and talk about species-level humility. James Bridal says that there are many ways of doing intelligence. The more we think about how other beings actually live their lives, the more we find out about how they do intelligence.
Alexandra Horowitz takes us inside the mind of a puppy. James Bridle introduces us to slime mold that can outwit the best human engineers. Justin Gregg makes the case that thinking like an animal is the key to living a good life. And Tom Mustill explains how a near-death encounter with a 30-ton whale led him to the scientists who are building Google Translate for animal languages.
