Our guest today has been Julia Gala. Her book is the scout mindset. She talks about how identity plays a key role in our lives. We forget it's not a war if you could actually Be part over here and part over there, she says.
Podcaster and author Julia Galef talks about her book The Scout Mindset with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Galef urges us to be more rational--to be open-minded about what we might discover about the world--rather than simply defend what we already believe, which she calls the soldier mindset. The conversation is a wide-ranging discussion of our biases and the challenges of viewing the world objectively.
