Except when PC culture takes over. "Time to listen and not talk and dont offer an opinion etc etc". Jeeesus thats stupid as fuck and science is thrown out for a narrative. All studies from the past decades shows no evidence for police racism. Not in arrests, not in convictions etc. In the past yes but that is a different story. She should know better but this shows just how weak akademia is today and not even the top people in science dare to just say wait a minute lets just stop and try to use science to figure out the problem and then try to fix it. Not just the easy... its whiteys fault, its the jews fault, its the rich peoples fault, its the heretics fault etc etc. So saying just listen and NOT to look at actual evidence but instead on how people feel and perceive a situation is as antiscience as it can be. But the sad thing is that both of them should know this but they cant say it because you are not allowed to question the narrative because the consequences will be dire. This is how reason dies and the mob rises. Good people become cowards and stay silent. Happened in nazi germany, sovjet russia, Maos china etc etc. Those people where not extra bad or extra perceptible of any kind they where just normal people. And normal people say nothing as a silent majority and watch how the the world burns around them because they dared not to speak up before it was to late, when the consequences to questioning the narrative was just being called a bad name or mild social exclusion instead of actual execution ...
Just finished an online cash game and decided to take a break and watch youtube and this pops up top in my feed. "Just When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In " (Al Pacino, Godfather). Great interview. I look forward to reading the book. Thanks Maria and Michael!
Interesting guest. There was some simplistic things said, I think some were probably just sloppiness on her part, but I hope not. For example, Maria when talking about delayed gratification and stable 2-parent households said if your father "abandons you". I don't know the specifics of the culture she is referring to, but that implies that the father made a conscious decision to abandon their child. There are much more likely reasons, at least in the western world: mother is uncooperative after a breakup (and family court isn't worth the struggle), father is never informed of having the child, death, jail, etc. Abandonment happens, for sure. But she implied this was the only or most important consideration.
Pay attention is a must to be success in poker career. But there is something else in the book that equal or much more important than pay attention. I wish I had read her book otherwise I might have a chance not going bust this time around. Read the book. You need to read it yourself to see whether you be able to find it. Good luck.
The thing about the time travel option is that it would be awfully tempting to go back, way back, say to the Triassic when mammals were evolving (dinosaurs too). If the time travel had to be within human civilization, I would opt for the future.
Michael, I think you and your audience would benefit from a discussion with someone who doesn't just fit right into the orthodox view of gender relations. In this talk, for instance, Maria stated that women "have it worse than men in this world" (something that is subjective and I doubt she has ever done a true comparison) and she also said that men used to have it "a million times worse". What? Everyone had it worse in life 50, 100 200 or a thousand years ago. Why did women have it uniquely (MUCH) worse than men? Again, I doubt she has ever done any kind of comparison int he rights and responsibilities of the 2 sexes in the present or especially in the past. The reality, I think, is that she (and you, apparently) share the orthodox opinion that "women have it worse" because women's issues are the only ones that are ever considered and addressed by society.
I'll trust your comment and skip the video altogether. That's have how intolerant I've become about this kind of sexist not data driven old stereotypes about gender (and race btw). Well, when those stereotypes are not challenged, that is.
which books have rot and who is forging them? Actual truth matters. Opinions from anyone human should be welcome. Especially when they shed light on Truth.
Another winner. Shermer consistently produces the goods.
Great interview. Maria is a terrific author.
She is also beautiful; I'm crushing on her big time!
This is one of the best podcast I've ever seen. RIP JRE too illogical and non-evidence based for me these days.

Not really comparing apples with Apple‘s. Science salon is targeting a higher intellectual level.

Excellent dialogue Dr. Shermer. Thanks again.
Well, that was fun! Great interview. Now I need her book.

Another great discussion.
Excellent !
I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s going to take over the world, and then write about it. 😂
Apparently, it is essential to have books in the background for all podcasts. Very studious...
Love it: "Not chess, Mr. Spock...poker..."
I agree there is much luck. One explanation of luck I recall hearing that made sense to me was , "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity."
Video starts at 2:07
45:40 "...butt in chairness...." interesting.
