2020 was only the dress rehearsal for 2021.We are going to be pushed to deal with more crazy than ever before, and this world is not simple, it and the issues we face, are complex.  My work is dense, my courses are dense, and we cannot really get at the relevant meaning if we try and dumb this down.  We have an unhelpful addiction to simplicity, and a shared evolved laziness in pursuing nuance or the more elegant Simplicity which exists on the Far side of complexity.  This episode unpacks:our human evolutionary biology, why we think quick vs slow, our cognitive biases and lack of critical thinking,and what these are costing us, why we should care, and most importantly what we can do about it."The fact that we are most reliably inclinedto reject or accept an idea based on our subjective,or shared opinion of the person through whom they arrive should be all the evidence we need to admit to ourselves that we cannot think critically."visit https://eyeswideopenlife.org or peruse my public thinking / art project at instagram.com/rocketsprocketSupport the showSign up to my Substack: eyeswideopenlife.substack.comemail [email protected]
