On Episode 101, Nick chats with David Thorstad, Assistant Professor of
Philosophy at Vanderbilt University, about his research at the intersection
between bounded rationality and inquiry that addresses what rationality
requires of bounded agents with limited cognitive abilities, normative and
descriptive challenges to longtermism, the ethical view that we should give
significant moral weight to positively impacting the future, and his new
book, Inquiry Under Bounds, which takes as its starting point a five-point
bounded rationality program inspired by recent work in cognitive science.
