The Scout Mindset Why Some People See Things Clearly and Others Don't

The final book I'd recommend is The Scout Mindset by Julia Galef, which is just a wonderful book for expressing a kind of mode of reasoning that really resonates with me, which is rather than, you know, soldier mindset ... you're just trying to explore and figure out what does the landscape look like?

author of the book, The Scout Mindset.

Julia Galef who had this great book called Scout Mindset.

She's the co-founder of The Center for Applied Rationality, which sounds pretty fancy and impressive to me. She also wrote a new book called The Scout Mindset, which is what we're gonna talk about today.

The scout mindset, those seeing things as they are not how we wish they were is sort of deceptively simple because I think a lot of people, I look myself included years ago before doing a decade and a half worth of shows about cognitive bias and neuroscience.

The book starts with the Dreyfus affair. And I feel like a lot of folks have heard about this. I'd heard about it before, but I didn't really know what it was. What is the Dreyfus affair? What does this tell us about bias and motivated reasoning?

The book is called the scout mindset we'll link to it in the show notes is there anything that you want to make sure you deliver that I haven't brought out just yet

Yeah, that's right. That's a simplification, of course, that fits in a book subtitle on the cover. It is one sentence.

The book starts with the dry face affair. And I feel like a lot of folks have heard about this.
