Episode Details

Are you defending your beliefs like a soldier — or exploring them like a scout? Julia Galef's framework draws a sharp distinction between two cognitive approaches: the soldier, driven by motivated reasoning and the need to be right; and the scout, driven by curiosity and the pursuit of accuracy even when it challenges personal beliefs.

The mindset you default to shapes every decision you make.
