Manage episode 316793781 series 3006521
Making predictions can be hard, especially about the future. In his guide to thinking better, Professor Steven Pinker explores the cognitive flaws that hobble us as forecasters.
He’s joined by Barbara Mellers, the George I. Heyman University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and co-founder of the Good Judgement project, and by Thomas Friedman, foreign affairs columnist for The New York Times and author of 'Thank You For Being Late: An optimist’s guide to living in the age of accelerations.’
Together they’ll help you evaluate your ideas, your cognitive blind spots and maybe even think a little more accurately about the future.
Producers: Imogen Walford and Joe Kent Editor: Emma Rippon
Think with Pinker is produced in partnership with The Open University.
