Episode notes

There is a i can see why there are certain corporate cultures who would be resistant, because human beings individually are resistant to this idea. There's a study that i'm going to have on the show a coming up soon. The it's, you've probably seen it, the swedish researchers, where they took the same sort of a change blindness thing, and they took it into politics. Andit blows my mind. That is want to har wht you have to say about it.

In this episode we sit down with expert in behavioral economics Evelyn Gosnell, who is also the managing director of Irrational Labs, an organization that uses social science to help other organizations make big decisions, fight misinformation, and design better products and services.

In a new information ecosystems where our primate brains, which evolved to spread gossip and argue and debate and deliberate and play status games and manage our reputations among trusted peers and signal our attitudes about what we perceive as "us" versus what we perceive as "them," several organizations are helping the places where we gather to do these things create better environments in which to do them.

Evelyn Gosnell is the managing director of one of those organizations, Irrational Labs, and on this show – a podcast about the science of judgment, decision making, bias, and reasoning – she will give us a behind-the-scenes look at how they use the latest research, and conduct their own research, to improve the world.
