Joel is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and Director of the Future Minds Lab. In this episode, we talk about how our memories bend reality; whether we can trust our intuitions; the simple ways “choice architecture” can be altered to change our decisions, for good or ill; and how a rickety bridge could affect your love life.
