I Have a Dream at the Lincoln Memorial
As we move towards the last few videos of #InTheFieldwithMM, the location of this 9th video at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC is fitting, as it echoes some of the conclusions to my book: that change is possible, that we don’t have to accept the world as it is, and that the world was made by people no smarter than us (and perhaps less smart thanks to rising IQ scores).
The imposing figure of Lincoln and King's commemoration overlooks the Washington Monument, the Capitol Building and the Supreme Court. A massive marble obelisk reaching up to the sky to celebrate America's first president and the buildings that housed the leaders of the present age. The answer to Lincoln's test, The ...

George Washington had over 600 slaves - so did the first dozen US presidents apart from the Adams
Просмотров 591Год назад
Did you know that George Washington had over 600 slaves? Or that John Adams and John Quincy Adams were unique among the first dozen US presidents for not owning any slaves? We visited George Washington's Philadelphia home. This site was lost, demolished, and even used as a public toilet before being transformed into a commemoration - not for George Washington but for his nine personal slaves. S...
Systems-level thinking is essential for permanent change: The Story of Australia's Cane Toads
Просмотров 693Год назад
Systems-level thinking is essential for permanent change. When you ignore complex interconnections, you create more problems. Like the cautionary tale of the cane toads and sugar cane in Australia. Queensland’s 300 days of bright sunshine mean it's perfect for growing sugar cane, but farmers battled cane beetles who ruined their crops. Scientists thought for the obvious problem - cane beetles -...
Japanese cars, whiskey, diapers, and immigrants
Просмотров 392Год назад
How did Japan create successful car companies and award winning whiskeys and what does that have to do with multiculturalism and immigration? In this 6th episode of In the Field with Michael Muthukrishna, shot in Japan, we answer these questions. Japan’s openness to immigration, particularly since the new immigration act in 2019 reveals why immigrants are a necessary lifeblood for many countrie...
USA vs Japan: Different cultures of innovation
Просмотров 159Год назад
This is the fifth video of my series #IntheFieldwithMM. Today, I tackle different cultures of innovation, the role of failure and risk taking by comparing two nations and their attitudes to failure. In America, most notably Silicon Valley, it is deviation, diversity and the "go big or go home" willingness to fail that has led to companies like Meta, Amazon and Alphabet. But, in countries like J...
WEIRD, Chinese food, and the beginnings of behavioral economics
Просмотров 76Год назад
My travels for this fourth installment of #IntheFieldwithMM take us to a slightly unconventional spot: the basement of the University of British Columbia’s foodcourt, where the food is tasty, good value and, apparently, creates the perfect environment for scientists to cook up world-changing ideas. It was here that Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky hatched their plans to study human rationality ...
Why Estonia has more $1B unicorn companies per capita and the best performing students in the West
Просмотров 345Год назад
The 3rd video of my series #IntheFieldwithMM has more details on Estonia's education system. In this video, I explain how Estonia embodies so many elements of a collective brain approach to innovation and evolution. Estonia recognized that the future performance of their country depended on the future performance of their people. Their Tiger Leap revolution of their education system trained tea...
The Story of the Wright Brothers and Powered Flight. Ep2 - In the Field with Michael Muthukrishna
Просмотров 71Год назад
This is the second video of my series #IntheFieldwithMM. This is another video on innovation, in this case, the invention of the airplane. The Wright Brothers are a wonderful example of the power of diverse backgrounds and collective brain thinking. They figured it out flying was about balance not just power. Just 16 years later, we flew across the Atlantic. Today, hurtling through the air at u...

My firs...

New research often uses formal theoretical approaches, describes common human psychology grounded in a “theory of human behavior”, and predicts and tests global and historical...

Whales and Dolphins are smarter and more sophisticated than you think
Hi Dr. Muthukrishna, great talk! Would yourself or whoever runs this channel please consider linking the papers you mentioned in the description of this video or as a pinned comment? Love your work and will be digging further in the meantime regardless.
Who cares? Them and everyone else who could afford it (including black people) had slaves back then. You’re not telling anyone anything we didn’t already know.
17th century America. Huh. Who knew?
18th Century, but exactly right otherwise.
Strap in your seat belts. This guy is about to take off.
As much as I hate the term and all it implies, is this an argument that IQ is "socially constructed"?
Very good summary,how long do you think it will take until the social sciences let of of the assumption and incorporate cultural revolution at their base ?
why why why is the music so loud? Otherwise great video.
A go with the flow Joe is a happy joe, and god help the Joe who dose not go with the flow. I have been an individualist, and have paid for it dearly. Thinking for yourself only gets you quarantined from human contact! No, being a Go with the Flow Joe is not a happy Joe, but maybe it beats being alone!
No it doesn't.
