Scout and Soldier Mindsets (with Julia Galef)

Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg

NOTE

The Scout Mindset Book

The Scout Mindset book, set for release on April 13th, introduces the concept of seeing things as they are, rather than as one wishes them to be. The author defines Scout Mindset as striving for intellectual honesty, objectivity, and curiosity about actual truth. The book contrasts this with the default human mindset, termed soldier mindset, which involves defending pre-existing beliefs against contradictory evidence. The Scout Mindset is presented as an alternative, characterized by a role of observing and seeking truth rather than defending or attacking.
