Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman.

My guest today is Scott Kaufman.

Scott Kaufman is a cognitive scientist who has taught courses on intelligence, creativity,

and well-being at Columbia University, NYU, the University of Pennsylvania, and elsewhere.

He's the host of the psychology podcast, and in 2015, he was named one of the 50 groundbreaking

scientists who are changing the way we see the world by business insider.

Scott and I talk about his background as a learning disabled child and internet hacker.

We talk about the psychology of victimhood and trauma.

We talk about dark empaths, mindfulness meditation, spiritual narcissism, psychedelics, free will and its implications

for praise and blame, and the benefits of adversity. So without further ado, Scott Kaufman.
