Why getting it right might mean admitting you're wrong.
What if we were to replace intellectual combat with genuine discussion and treat beliefs as hypotheses to be tested rather than treasures to be defended?
In his guide to thinking better, Professor Steven Pinker is joined by:
Julia Galef of the Center for Applied Rationality and author of ‘The Scout Mindset’
Daniel Willingham, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia and the author of ‘Cognition and Raising Kids who Read’
Producers: Imogen Walford and Joe Kent
Think with Pinker is produced in partnership with The Open University.
