Steven Sloman - Collective knowledge and overcoming ignorance
Update: 2020-07-24
Description
In the 4th episode of our podcast, we finally get into some psychology. I had a very insightful conversation with Dr. Steven Sloman. He received his Ph.D. in Psychology from Stanford University, and he is a cognitive scientist who studies how people think, particularly collective cognition.
He wrote a book with Phil Fernbach titled The Knowledge Illusion: Why We Never Think Alone. We cover a fair bit in this episode, ranging from computational and alternative models of cognitive science, consciousness, his book knowledge illusion, the current age of information, the problem and reliability of expertise, and more. I hope you find it enjoyable!
