- Julia Galef is the co-founder of the Center for Applied Rationality, a podcaster and an author.
Boris Johnson’s former chief adviser Dominic Cummings said that tens of thousands of Covid deaths could have been prevented if the Government had read Julia's book. Why is it that he swears by Julia's rationalist manifesto?
Expect to learn what most people get wrong about confidence, the difference between a soldier and scout mindset, why attitude is more important than knowledge for effective judgement, how to avoid being self-deceptive, what the rationality movement has got most wrong and much more...

julia is a TDS cultist hack who wouldnt know rationality if it hit her in the head
Even a tiny bit of emotional control can already make a big difference. If I think back, nearly all my really bad decisions were under the influence of strong emotions - no matter if good or bad.
... Julia and Chris, this is one of the most substantive conversations I have heard.... Thank you so very much.
i genuinely like where your YT channel is going. These personalities are gold. 🔭
How the fuck does this not have more views....one of his best conversations. And he is easily in the top twenty growth/learning channels on RUclips. Mad jealous of this handsome intelligent fella... Dammit
Very kind, thank you Mark
Nice having my practice attempts over 40 years trying to help clients reduce their anxiety and depression given a thumbs up. Scouts honor.
Julia is such a smart person and I recommend her new book to everyone who enjoyed this podcast. It is so concise, well written, filled with useful examples and ways to apply the ideas she presents. Unlike so many books that go on and on to fill pages, its the perfect length to get the message across. Great podcast!
... Julia galef is a great contributor to clear thinking.... Thank you Julia....... Terence McKenna, at we plants are happy plants, is another great contributor. He is mainly about morality, and putting two and two together.
... Concerning this whole discussion, it is really useful to know the 4-H pledge:... I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to Greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to Better Living, for my club, my community, My country, and the world....... I am 80, and I still follow this pledge.
... Continued... 4-H is head, heart, hands, and health.... And it is interesting that pledging one's head to clearer thinking, can move one towards the subversion ballpark. Where the game is moral Behavior and intelligence.
So much respect for Julia, this concepts are life changing.
I love Julia. Great episode
This will definitely help the listeners
I'm almost finished her book. Think she's brilliant and this was a brilliant conversation.
Absolutely, I just finished her book, and it's pure gold, it can be overwhelming to learn everything, I am definitely going to revisit some concepts and apply them to my daily life as much as possible. The concept that has helped me most was thinking in bets, it's such a simple and yet effective way of thinking that it's crazy how it's not discussed very often.
I saw a portion of her Ted talk about scout vs soldier mindset I think it was called. It was interesting, look forward to this one
Good podcast. Watch every episode.
Think more the hardest way this is why fighting results through one particular argument...
Vs
Think more this is why I avoided being correct and managed to be wrong always even if I was right
... Caring about the most important thing. Heck yes.
... Thank you for your fine podcast. Soldier mindset vs. Scout mindset is a really useful way to look at things. Definitely government has Soldier mindset to a sick and harmful degree, especially in its cockamamie War on Drugs. We just don't have enough people who are both moral and intelligent in government.
Leonardo Da Vinci could do a fantastic portraiture of your guest.
... It is worth noting that the most popular plant medicines, cannabis, peyote, and magic mushrooms, Foster a scout mindset, whereas popular prescription medicines, like amphetamines, benzodiazepine, and Prozac, tend to just keep one soldiering on, even if it is in the wrong direction.
Think more when I have nothing in mind...
Vs
Think more not because of panickingly pressure for fearing of losing something else, but being mimic with the present cause of situation
sir if i may know where"s she know? im big fan of her now because im done reading his book
Think more till 05:42 PM
Vs
Think more the hardest way of how not to be fool by it is what it is mindset people
"Insight porn." That is well put. I definitely have issues with insight porn. I've spent way too much time on that particular fetish. I would do well to actually put skin in the game, commit to some beta testing/trial and error, incorporate the scout mindset, and move toward actual self-improvement and concrete growth. Thank you, Chris and Julia, for this conversation.
I would really appreciate timestamps
Great work

The Soldier mindset is self-reinforcing, entrenching, eager to claim victory. Like a race horse with blinders, the vision of the soldier is limited to taking the ground before it.
Think more the hardest way to let not others be out-smart what I think, what I planned, what I work on..
Vs
Think more the hardest way sometimes giving an excuse affection space just because the people I have to dealt with are my relatives and I shouldn't have this feel for them over attachedly
Think more the directive way always
Vs
Think less the alternative ways always
Think more the hardest way as mid winter reapen orange
Vs
Think less the hardest way as mid summer reapen plum
Since seven months ago...
Vs
Still my brain's reasoning process is morally correct
... I'm impressed that she said she was trying to winnow down her thoughts on a subject. Separating the wheat from the chaff. Getting to the s u b s t a n t i v e.
The girl can give Ben Shapiro a run for money when it comes to speed of talking.😁 She is delightful!
Think more as wise as how you shouldn't judge me based on how I think..
Vs
Think more just like you reminded me as your viewer to stop judging you how you dress
Think more the hardest way to fool not although I find out, what I'm doing today is still not matching up with the content of how I eat, drink, poo, pee or sleep as usual...
Vs
Think more the hardest way how not to be fool by automatically judgeable curiousity habit in virtual
Think more as wise as possible the hardest way of how to be self control with sound minded characters
Vs
Think more as wise as possible just like possession skills of football players at international level to grassroot level
Think more to rationalise my own weight decrease
Vs
Think more how to obtain more hygienic diet on a regular basis in order to increase my own weight
Think more till 08:38 PM
Vs
Think more the squashy way
Think less as wild jhumming ginger garden caretaker, but more as wise as how I roughly calculated the outcomes of the to be harvested ginger, less as incompleted construct of LHS roadside garden fencing, less as how I was framed as individually dealer with the rental Sawmill Owner, the jhumming garden rented cultivators in mother's inherited property, apart from paddy fields share-holders of both parent's inherited properties...
Vs
Think more to fool not by the lazy to ask about rental fees from rental shelterers righteous owners
Step 1. Don't inject a gene therapy that killed all the animals, has not been tested on humans and where the manufacturer has no liability...
Think more the hardest way you managed to make me loose while I'm winning at every particular arguments...
Vs
Think more the hardest way I don't believe in your 1983
Think more as wise as make-up less face, fashion chaser-less, hairstyle-less etc...
Vs
Think less as Amway subscription products costumers, less as Vistage makeup products in Vistage Magazine
Can someone just please tell me HOW MANY OTHER PERSPECTIVES must I consider before I can say "I have given it an honest attempt at trying to understand the perspective of others"???????? LOL
Like a discreet numerical value.....cause telling me I should simply consider "all other perspectives"......doesn't take into account the very simple fact that one day......
I'm gonna die 😂😂😂
This is the problem for people with no absolute
@@brad6105 right? It's weird. When you give yourself No Limits.......you end up completely limiting yourself......
Cest la vie
Woow a beautiful face and a brain
Think more as wise as possible how to rationalise the fact that wise people argue about, but not as fool as how foolish people entertained about...
Vs
Think more as wise as possible yet fool not by ears of someone, eyes of someone, brain of someone, hands/feet etc of someone either
Think more as wise as food Preserver, less as officially food distributers or suppliers...
Vs
Think less as appropriately 70% to 30% actual barehand food eating eaters in the community
Here's another didactic little story. There are these two guys sitting
together in a bar in the remote Alaskan wilderness. One of the guys is
religious, the other is an atheist, and the two are arguing about the
existence of God with that special intensity that comes after about the
fourth beer. And the atheist says: "Look, it's not like I don't have actual
reasons for not believing in God. It's not like I haven't ever experimented
with the whole God and prayer thing. Just last month I got caught away
from the camp in that terrible blizzard, and I was totally lost and I
couldn't see a thing, and it was fifty below, and so I tried it: I fell to my
knees in the snow and cried out 'Oh, God, if there is a God, I'm lost in
this blizzard, and I'm gonna die if you don't help me.'" And now, in the
bar, the religious guy looks at the atheist all puzzled. "Well then you must
believe now," he says, "After all, here you are, alive." The atheist just rolls
his eyes. "No, man, all that was was a couple Eskimos happened to come
wandering by and showed me the way back to camp."
It's easy to run this story through kind of a standard liberal arts analysis:
the exact same experience can mean two totally different things to two
different people, given those people's two different belief templates and
two different ways of constructing meaning from experience. Because we
prize tolerance and diversity of belief, nowhere in our liberal arts analysis
do we want to claim that one guy's interpretation is true and the other
guy's is false or bad. Which is fine, except we also never end up talking
about just where these individual templates and beliefs come from.
Meaning, where they come from INSIDE the two guys. As if a person's
most basic orientation toward the world, and the meaning of his
experience were somehow just hard-wired, like height or shoe-size; or
automatically absorbed from the culture, like language. As if how we
construct meaning were not actually a matter of personal, intentional
choice. Plus, there's the whole matter of arrogance. The nonreligious guy
is so totally certain in his dismissal of the possibility that the passing
Eskimos had anything to do with his prayer for help. True, there are
plenty of religious people who seem arrogant and certain of their own
interpretations, too. They're probably even more repulsive than atheists, at
least to most of us. But religious dogmatists' problem is exactly the same
as the story's unbeliever: blind certainty, a close-mindedness that amounts
to an imprisonment so total that the prisoner doesn't even know he's
locked up.
The point here is that I think this is one part of what teaching me how to
think is really supposed to mean. To be just a little less arrogant. To have
just a little critical awareness about myself and my certainties. Because a
huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be automatically certain of is, it
turns out, totally wrong and deluded. I have learned this the hard way, as I
predict you graduates will, too.

well, we are just Animals at the end of the day. so, I mean in the Pepé Le Pew sense perhaps, no? 🤷🙃 🤷♂
God, she SIMPLY GRATES.
Hmm good random advice, but feels too self help, would like her to establish her credibility on how she's done this in practice, or failed to do so, and the different prices she paid...
Could you shout me out in your next video, thanks!
Why
@@nicholaschristodoulou3821 because that's Jose Gonzalez!
... Soldier mindset is like a recent definition of patriarchy : linear stubbornness. God damned harmful, in other words.
That’s your bias flaring up.
Lol you utterly missed the point dumping emotional 'patriarchy this and that' onto a hypothetical soldier mindset' without any sort of solid reasoning. Watch the vid again.
Is it irrational to call you a male feminist? Or is irrational for you to be one?
I don't know how she thinks she can just come up with a new definition of "rational". You need only go as far as a dictionary to find the meaning of that.
