War Is Inevitable? with Neuroscientist Dr. Nicholas Wright
Description
Host Orli Matlow sits down with Dr. Nicholas Wright to talk about his new book Warhead: How The Brain Shapes War and War Shapes The Brain. Dr. Wright draws on his experiences in the operating room and at the Pentagon to posit that the brain is wired for conflict, yet we are somehow not doomed as a species. The fascinating conversation covers the past (Winston Churchill wasn’t always Winston Churchill), the present (The Russo-Ukrainian War is still going on, even it’s only on the front pages in Kyiv), and the future (yes, AI is coming. In fact, it’s already here).
