Summary

My guest today is Jack Horner, the world renowned paleontologist. Horner was the technical advisor for all of the “Jurassic Park” films. He is most famous for discovering and naming Maiasaura, providing the first clear evidence that some dinosaurs cared for their young.

The topics are dyslexia and the process of learning.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Passion
Why you’d break open a dinosaur egg rather than hold onto it as precious material
How Horner attributes his way of thinking to dyslexia
The shapeshifting dinosaur hypothesis
“Chickasaurus” and the idea of dinosaurs and chickens intersecting
The accuracy of the “Jurassic Park” dinosaurs
Whether the T. Rex was a scavenger v. predator
How Horner came to his way of thinking
