A Conversation with Hugo Mercier

Modes of Inquiry with Mathew Giagnorio

This week welcomes Hugo Mercier to the podcast. We discuss his work and research with a particular focus on his book Not Born Yesterday in which he argues with data that we are not as gullible as we may believe but rather we are very good a using reason and decision-making. We discuss real-world issues such as politics, society, individuals and groups, and learning, and the application of his research in evolution and social cognition in those areas. All this and more on MOI

Merci, Hugo!
