The Bias Disruption Podcast

Episode 87: Hyperbolic Discounting


Listen Later

Season 3! In this first episode of season 3, we discuss home cubicles (WHY!??JUST WHY!?!?). Megan shares an academic article from way back that helps clarify why we can't narrow leadership into individual characteristics. Leadership is a social exchange-it is given by the relationships with others. Josh talks about hyperbolic discounting, the cognitive bias that leads people to choose smaller immediate gain. He argues that attention is more valuable, and that's why we decide quickly.
