I think he's at University of Toronto now. And you know he was telling us that at this point you can you can get a psych degree in lots of departments here without even hearing Freud mentioned in a class. Like people think he was mostlywrong about everything. But even Bloom said he thought Freud was right about the most important thing which is the

And because of this, your brain can start using shortcuts. Psychologist Daniel Kahneman describes these mental shortcuts as heuristics, that together, create systemic errors called cognitive biases. One shortcut we use a lot is substituting hard questions with easier related ones.
Workshop. Super cool. And then the the guy on my left um I was convinced he was some I don't know some sort of tech definitely in tech. Definitely definitely in in um he was the CEO of the American Psychological Association. It's very interesting to think about how we make these determinations when in fact boy we're we're off. Oh yeah. It's uh I I jokingly point out that like we're the goal of the dinner people I say what's what's the purpose of tonight and they said oh to make friends and I go no no no it's to judge people silently because when they sit down to eat they have to like guess

You have to pick up weights that are actually uncomfortable in order to grow. Psychological stress is the exact same way. When we are going through emotionally or mentally taxing experiences, it does not feel good in the same way that strength training when you're doing it right does not feel good. But that is how we grow. If we're comfortable all the time, nothing is changing. We are not expanding our capacities as humans. So thinking about stress that way,
health that's really not accurate. And what I mean by that is so often you'll hear people suggesting that you know you're mentally healthy if you feel good. Okay, I am all for feeling good. I'm a psychologist. I want people to feel good. This has nothing to do with what makes for mental health. So, the definition I like to use, and this comes from my field, is being mentally healthy is about two things. First, it's about having feelings that fit what's actually happening, even if they are
Furthermore, Mike Steger, the first of these psychologists, created a a survey that's very well validated. He's published a lot with it, and other psychologists have as well in the academic literature to see where people are in their meaning journey, whether they have a good sense of meaning, whether they're searching for meaning.

I'm gonna show them that my army can go wherever it wants to go whenever it wants to go, and there's nothing Jefferson Davis can do about it." The great forces are all that matters and individuals don't really matter notion of history I think is ridiculous. Individuals really matter. For the

- The following is a conversation with Julia Shaw, a criminal psychologist who has written extensively on a wide variety of topics that explore human nature, including psychopathy, violent crime, psychology of evil, police interrogation, false memory manipulation, deception detection, and human sexuality. Her books include Evil, about the psychology of murder and sadism, The Memory Illusion, about false memories, Bi, about bisexuality, and her new book that you should definitely go
decision because that person has been faking it. So I think with psychopathy, it's a bit complicated. There has been some sort of, historically as well, some concern that certain treatment for psychopathy, especially empathy-focused treatment, makes people with psychopathy more likely to fake empathy and to weaponize it. But then there's other research which finds that if you use other kinds of interventions, so like Jennifer Skeem in California who does research on people with psychopathy who have committed severe crimes. And she specifically creates these treatment programs that aren't
And so when you see people get radicalized in their own thoughts, whether that's in the sense of things like schizophrenia where you've got psychosis, you've got delusions, maybe command hallucinations. That's when you think you're hearing voices and someone is telling you that you have to do something, usually something harmful to other people. And if you don't follow those, you will hear those voices forever. They're profoundly distressing, and they are one of the aspects of schizophrenia that if you have, it does
Experiment, and that was an experiment which is... I mean, it's now been torn apart in various ways. It was absolutely influential for psychology. It's where participants were randomly assigned whether they would be prisoners or guards in a mock prison experiment, and then for a number of days, they were told to do various things. And it got out of control, and the guards went way over what they were supposed to be doing, and they effectively started
- Yeah, the degeneration of decision-making. Psychology, behavior, all of that. You cannot understand that fully without understanding his drug use. And we should also say that some of the historians you mentioned, Ian Kershaw and Anthony Beevor, these legends of history, they all gave you compliments. So, Kershaw said that, "Your work is very good, extremely interesting, and a serious

They know that they could have another life, but they practically don't understand, I guess, both the psychology, the systems, the mechanisms, and I guess what they can control in order to move from where they are to where they want to be.

strategies. And also, what is the mentality, the mindset of people that end up making money over the long term? Psychology is important for determining what your financial goals are. So, this is a framework that we developed to elicit higher quality goals. What would you say to young people that are thinking about their financial strategy?
people talk about tactics and strategies, but I guess underpinning your ability to execute on any of those tactics or strategies are one's own psychology. And is there academic research about the best sort of mental approach to take towards money and finance and investing? So, one of the best approaches, and it's a little bit counterintuitive, is to not look at your investments. There is a an academic paper showing that the more people look
