Evolution has done some things that were meant to be kind, but ended up not being so kind. And i think one of them is memory. Our brain changes our memory to make it consistent with what we believe now. Even really smart people are more likely to fall for behavior biases because they think they're smart and won't fall for it.
In this episode of Infinite Loops we spoke with Annie Duke, former professional poker player, decision-making expert, and best-selling author. Her latest book is How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices, which was released this week. In this conversation, we cover:
- COVID-19 and decision-making
- Resulting and the 2016 election
- What drove Annie to write her new book
- Writing as a powerful tool for testing your knowledge
- And MUCH more.
