Welcome to the Knowledge Project, I'm your host, Shane Parrish, curator behind Fernham Street

Blog, an intellectual hub of interestingness that covers topics like human misjudgment,

decision making, strategy, and philosophy.

The Knowledge Project allows me to interview amazing people from around the world to deconstruct

why they're good at what they do.

It's more conversation than prescription.

On this episode, I have Julia Gaff.

She's the president and co-founder of the Center for Applied Rationality, a non-profit

organization based in Berkeley, California devoted to developing, testing, and training people

in strategies for reasoning and decision making.

She also hosts the Rationally Speaking podcast of bi-weekly show featuring conversations

about science and philosophy.

On this episode, we talk about a host of fascinating subjects, including rationality

of course, changing minds, our own and others, filtering information, and a ton more.

This was a fascinating conversation and one you don't want to miss.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Before I get started, here's a quick word from our sponsor.
