À propos de cet audio
A better way to combat knee-jerk biases and make smarter decisions, from Julia Galef, the acclaimed expert on rational decision-making.
When it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a "soldier" mindset. From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalizing in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe—and shoot down those we don't.
But if we want to get things right more often, argues Galef, we should train ourselves to have a "scout" mindset. Unlike the soldier, a scout's goal isn't to defend one side over the other. It's to go out, survey the territory, and come back with as accurate a map as possible. Regardless of what they hope to be the case, above all, the scout wants to know what's actually true.
In The Scout Mindset, Galef shows that what makes scouts better at getting things right isn't that they're smarter or more knowledgeable than everyone else. It's a handful of emotional skills, habits, and ways of looking at the world—which anyone can learn. With fascinating examples ranging from how to survive being stranded in the middle of the ocean, to how Jeff Bezos avoids overconfidence, to how superforecasters outperform CIA operatives, to Reddit threads and modern partisan politics, Galef explores why our brains deceive us and what we can do to change the way we think.

Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 200 "nudge units" in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful "choice architecture" - a concept the authors invented - to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.

Important work
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
I'm not new to the idea of Effective Altruism, to thinking about or analyzing cognitive biases. I've read Rationality: AI to Zombies and other works by Eleizer Yudkowski and been changed by them - I believe, for the better.
This book serves as a more compelling and beginner friendly look at the core precept upon which the philosophy stands. It has the virtue of being written with the kind of succinctness that makes its points sound clear, obvious and easy to follow.
Unlike other sources I've seen, rather than only explaining how and why the advocated habits are desirable, the author shares good examples to follow and descriptions of how to face the difficulty of diverting from our familiar and reflexive reactions more easily.
The difficulty is not merely acknowledged, but forgiven.
And the difficulty is not only forgiven, but offered aid and stratagems about how to start.
Hypocrisy is deftly avoided in favour of what seems to be a good faith effort at bipartisanship; people who do not choose (or do not know how) to practice these habits are depicted without mockery and some of their potential concerns addressed. Julia Galef chooses her case studies from a variety of political and religious backgrounds, and the lessons learned do not point all in one direction - excepting toward Effective Altruism and the pursuit of the 'Scout Mindset' itself.
I will be thrilled to recommend this book to all those of my friends who find me admirable but enigmatic, and don't think they could do the things I do.
Perhaps I will tell them:
"Maybe you can, and maybe you can't. Maybe you will, and maybe you will not consider it something you want to prioritize at this time. Take this, though. Listen to this, if you ever want to know *why* I make the efforts I make to live as I do. It's not going to trigger you with horror stories like I might if you asked me. I promise."
