Episode Notes:Dr. Reeves' Background – Trained as a psychologist, his interest in cybersecurity emerged from a talk connecting human error to security breaches.Cybersecurity Fatigue Defined – A form of disengagement where employees lose motivation to follow security practices due to overload and conflicting advice.Not Just Apathy – Fatigue often affects people who initially cared about cybersecurity but were worn down by excessive or ineffective interventions.Training Shortcomings – Lecture-style, one-way training is frequently perceived as boring, irrelevant, or contradictory to users' experiences.Compliance vs. Effectiveness – Many organizations implement security training to meet legal requirements, even if it fails to change behavior.Reactance in Security – Users may intentionally ignore advice or rules to assert control, especially when training feels micromanaging or patronizing.Better Through Design – Reeves argues that secure systems should reduce the need for user decisions by simplifying or removing risky options altogether.Remove Rather Than Train – Limiting administrative rights is often more effective than trying to educate users out of risky behaviors.Mismatch With Reality – Generic training that conflicts with real policies or system restrictions can confuse or alienate users.Cognitive Load and Decision-Making – Under stress or fatigue, users rely on mental shortcuts (heuristics), which attackers exploit.Personal Example of Being Fooled – Reeves recounts nearly falling for a scam due to time pressure, illustrating how stress weakens judgment.Cybersecurity Buddy System – Recommends encouraging users to consult peers when making sensitive decisions, especially under pressure.Cyber Deception Strategies – Reeves now researches ways to mislead and trap attackers inside systems using decoys and tripwires.Applying Psychology to Attackers – The same behavioral models used to study users can help predict and manipulate attacker behavior.Empowering Defenders – Deception technologies can help security teams regain a sense of agency, shifting from reactive defense to proactive engagemenAbout our guest:Dr. Andrew Reeveshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewreevescyber/https://research.unsw.edu.au/people/dr-andrew-reeveshttps://www.unsw.edu.au/research/ifcyberPapers or resources mentioned in this episode:Reeves, A., Delfabbro, P., & Calic, D.

How to craft communication that your audience will remember.Why do some messages stick, while others go in one ear and out the other? When it comes to crafting memorable communication, Ada Aka says not all verbiage is created equal. “Certain words are intrinsically more memorable than others,” says Aka, an assistant professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business. In her research of consumer behavior and decision-making, she's uncovered how language shapes not just our perception of the world, “but how the world stays with us over time." From concrete terms to emotionally charged ones, certain words have more staying power than others, and to communicators who want to capture audiences (and keep them), she says, “Carefully chosen words, they're going to be taking the attention.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Aka joins Matt Abrahams to explore the science of memorable communication. From creating brand slogans that stick to choosing words that align with your message, she reveals how to create communication that won't be forgotten.Episode Reference Links:Ada AkaEp.80 Magic Words: Change What You Say to Inspire and Influence Others Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:05) - The Power of Words in Memory (03:45) - What Makes Words Memorable?

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Andrew Altschuler, a researcher, educator, and navigator at Tana, Inc., who also founded Tana Stack. Their conversation explores knowledge systems, complexity, and AI, touching on topics like network effects in social media, information warfare, mimetic armor, psychedelics, and the evolution of knowledge management. They also discuss the intersection of cognition, ontologies, and AI's role in redefining how we structure and retrieve information. For more on Andrew's work, check out his course and resources at altshuler.io and his YouTube channel.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Background00:33 The Demise of AirChat00:50 Network Effects and Social Media Challenges03:05 The Rise of Digital Warlords03:50 Quora's Golden Age and Information Warfare08:01 Building Limbic Armor16:49 Knowledge Management and Cognitive Armor18:43 Defining Knowledge: Secular vs. Ultimate25:46 The Illusion of Insight31:16 The Illusion of Insight32:06 Philosophers of Science: Popper and Kuhn32:35 Scientific Assumptions and Celestial Bodies34:30 Debate on Non-Scientific Knowledge36:47 Psychedelics and Cultural Context44:45 Knowledge Management: First Brain vs. Second Brain46:05 The Evolution of Knowledge Management54:22 AI and the Future of Knowledge Management58:29 Tana: The Next Step in Knowledge Management59:20 Conclusion and Course InformationKey InsightsNetwork Effects Shape Online Communities – The conversation highlighted how platforms like Twitter, AirChat, and Quora demonstrate the power of network effects, where a critical mass of users is necessary for a platform to thrive. Without enough engaged participants, even well-designed social networks struggle to sustain themselves, and individuals migrate to spaces where meaningful conversations persist. This explains why Twitter remains dominant despite competition and why smaller, curated communities can be more rewarding but difficult to scale.Information Warfare and the Need for Cognitive Armor – In today's digital landscape, engagement-driven algorithms create an arena of information warfare, where narratives are designed to hijack emotions and shape public perception. The only real defense is developing cognitive armor—critical thinking skills, pattern recognition, and the ability to deconstruct media. By analyzing how information is presented, from video editing techniques to linguistic framing, individuals can resist manipulation and maintain autonomy over their perspectives.The Role of Ontologies in AI and Knowledge Management – Traditional knowledge management has long been overlooked as dull and bureaucratic, but AI is transforming the field into something dynamic and powerful. Systems like Tana and Palantir use ontologies—structured representations of concepts and their relationships—to enhance information retrieval and reasoning. AI models perform better when given structured data, making ontologies a crucial component of next-generation AI-assisted thinking.The Danger of Illusions of Insight – Drawing from ideas by Balaji Srinivasan, the episode distinguished between genuine insight and the illusion of insight. While psychedelics, spiritual experiences, and intense emotional states can feel revelatory, they do not always produce knowledge that can be tested, shared, or used constructively. The ability to distinguish between profound realizations and self-deceptive experiences is critical for anyone navigating personal and intellectual growth.AI as an Extension of Human Cognition, Not a Second Brain – While popular frameworks like "second brain" suggest that digital tools can serve as externalized minds, the episode argued that AI and note-taking systems function more as extended cognition rather than true thinking machines. AI can assist with organizing and retrieving knowledge, but it does not replace human reasoning or creativity. Properly integrating AI into workflows requires understanding its strengths and limitations.The Relationship Between Personal and Collective Knowledge Management – Effective knowledge management is not just an individual challenge but also a collective one. While personal knowledge systems (like note-taking and research practices) help individuals retain and process information, organizations struggle with preserving and sharing institutional knowledge at scale. Companies like Tesla exemplify how knowledge isn't just stored in documents but embodied in skilled individuals who can rebuild complex systems from scratch.The Increasing Value of First Principles Thinking – Whether in AI development, philosophy, or practical decision-making, the discussion emphasized the importance of grounding ideas in first principles. Great thinkers and innovators, from AI researchers like Demis Hassabis to physicists like David Deutsch, excel because they focus on fundamental truths rather than assumptions. As AI and digital tools reshape how we interact with knowledge, the ability to think critically and question foundational concepts will become even more essential.

Cognitive Load Multipliers are quantitative factors used to assess and measure the impact of various stressors on human performance, particularly in high-risk industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, healthcare, and aviation. These multipliers help identify conditions that increase cognitive burden, such as task complexity, time pressure, fatigue, interruptions, and environmental distractions, which can significantly raise the likelihood of human error. By applying cognitive load multipliers, organizations can systematically evaluate and mitigate risks, optimize workflows, and enhance overall reliability. Understanding these multipliers allows for the development of targeted strategies, such as improving procedural clarity, minimizing multitasking, and designing error-resistant systems to ensure compliance and operational efficiency.To learn more, visit:https://humanerrorsolutions.com/Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/ginette-collazo/

Which elements of your current pre-shift preparation contribute most to your mental clarity and performance, and what new practices might further optimize your readiness? With interruptions shown to increase task errors and decision fatigue, how can you strike a balance between being approachable to colleagues and safeguarding your focus for patient care? When confronted with a particularly challenging or emotionally charged case, what strategies have you found most effective for maintaining professionalism and clear decision-making under pressure? How often do you debrief after high-stakes scenarios, and what impact has debriefing—whether formal or informal—had on your team's learning, emotional recovery, and future preparedness? What strategies do you use to foster open communication and ensure all team members feel empowered to provide input during high-stakes situations? How do you mentally and emotionally shift from managing a critical resuscitation to treating lower-acuity patients without compromising your focus or energy? When faced with a complex case where diagnostic clarity is elusive, how do you prioritize your next steps while maintaining confidence in your decision-making process? How can apps, personalized workflows, or EMR tools be better utilized to minimize cognitive load and enhance clinical decision-making during shifts? These are just some of the questions we pose in this 2-part podcast series on How the Experts Think with Dr. Reuben Strayer, Dr. Scott Weingart and Dr. Mike Betzner...

Is some refactored code truly better—or is it just a matter of taste? In this episode of the Mob Mentality Show, we explore the debate: Is some refactoring a subjective preference or an objective improvement? Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of refactoring, where code quality, team dynamics, and even artificial intelligence (AI) come into play. Here's what we discussed: The Ice Cream Debate: The story of a team/mob navigating a series of refactorings and asking, Are these changes about style, like preferring chocolate over vanilla? Or is there an objective improvement in the code? Cognitive Load, Cyclomatic Complexity, and More: How refactored code impacts key factors like cognitive load (mental effort required to understand code), cyclomatic complexity (a measure of the number of independent paths through a program), readability, and maintainability. Copilot AI's Take: Results of analyzing “before and after” versions of refactored code using Copilot AI (a large language model or LLM trained for coding). Does the AI agree with human developers? Gray Areas vs. Black-and-White Decisions: How much of refactoring is clear-cut improvement versus a matter of debate? Coaching Through Disagreements: Strategies to coach a team through potentially heated refactoring disagreements. Should you stick to principles or let the team run experiments in production against the principles? Decision-Making Tactics: How to align on contentious refactoring decisions. Should you flip a coin, follow a guiding principle, or defer to team consensus? Principles and North Stars: Identifying which coding principles matter most to your team and using them as a decision-making anchor. Dealing with Apathy: How to engage team members who are indifferent to coding principles and quality debates. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Applying Stephen Covey's timeless principles to facilitate productive refactoring discussions and team collaboration. Diversity of Opinion as a Strength: Embracing different perspectives to make your team or mob/team stronger and more innovative. Radical Candor vs. Safe Experiments: Balancing direct feedback with the freedom to experiment—even if it means running tests in production. “Stop the Line” Moments: Deciding when a refactoring disagreement is serious enough to halt progress versus letting safe experiments play out. Whether you're a developer, team lead, or software architect, this episode is packed with insights to improve your approach to refactoring and team dynamics.

Many education researchers spend a lot of time studying how students learn, but if their findings don't make their way into the classroom, they are only so useful. For example, researchers have known about the benefits of phonics for decades, but despite these benefits, many teachers were not using phonics in their classrooms.So: Why don't research-based practices make their way into the classroom? What research-based practices that aren't currently well-known among teachers should teachers try to implement? And if a school wants to promote a research-backed approach among its teachers, how should it go about doing that?On this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus discusses these questions, and more, with Greg Ashman. Nat and Greg discuss why many teachers in education programs learn about learning styles, but not phonics or behavior management; the many different meanings of explicit teaching and direct instruction; cognitive load theory and the importance of understanding the constraints of working memory; how schools can approach curriculum and teacher training more systematically; field trips, group work, and spaced repetition; the importance of creating a coherent school culture; and how to get interventions to stick.Greg Ashman is the Deputy Principal at Ballarat Clarendon College in Ballarat, Australia, and the author of three books on instructional practice.

Welcome back to English Plus! In today's episode, we're diving into three intriguing topics that will get you thinking about the balance between comfort and growth. First, we explore Are comfort foods, music, and movies really good for you? We all have our guilty pleasures, but are they helping us grow, or just keeping us stuck in our comfort zone? Next, we tackle the power of fear in creativity. Could the fear of being wrong be the one thing holding you back from reaching your full creative potential? You might be surprised by how much you can unlock once you stop letting fear control you. Finally, we discuss cognitive overload—how much can our brains really handle? We'll take a look at the Cognitive Load Theory to understand why multitasking might not be as productive as we think and how focusing on one task at a time could make us smarter, more efficient, and less stressed.

Send me a text!Supporting Changes in your life means reconnecting to your power in your relationship to change. It allows you to transform the patterns that aren't serving you during the transition period, rather than carrying them with you into a new space. Unfortunately, what often happens is that changes in our life feel in some way like they're imposed upon us, even when they're ones that we choose because the ripple effect of those changes are typically things that we get carried along by, rather than ones we intentionally curate.In this episode of Unlimited, I explore a process for supporting changes in your life with holistic intentionality and without exhausting yourself.Some of what I talk about in this episode includes:The power to transform patterns during life transitionsNavigating the cognitive and emotional load involved in life changesHow to manage overwhelm and make aligned decisionsTools to support yourself through changeLINKS REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE:Reclaim Your Routine Workshop SeriesDealing with Impostor Syndrome (podcast episode)Redefining Our Relationship to Productivity  (podcast episode)Loving Yourself Through Grief  (podcast episode)The Courage to Change (podcast episode)If you found this episode helpful, please share it!You can tag me on social: @unlimitedcoachvalWant to share your thoughts or have questions?

Greg Ashman—author of multiple books including A Little Guide for Teachers: Cognitive Load Theory, deputy principal, and professor—sits down with Susan Lambert on this episode to discuss cognitive load theory and how it applies to how students learn and how to best teach them. Together their conversation covers cognitive load theory, including an exploration of working memory and long-term memory; intrinsic load and extraneous load; biologically primary vs. biologically secondary knowledge; and how to apply these concepts in the classroom. Ashman also provides listeners with helpful advice on ensuring their teaching practices are based on evidence.

Ask about the evidence and question whether this is really the optimal way of teaching literacy or whatever it is, or whether it's more based on wishful thinking.” —Greg AshmanEpisode timestamps*2:00 Introduction: Who is Dr. Gregg Ashman5:00 Feeling guilty about the way you had been teaching7:00 Book talk: A Little Guide for Teachers on Cognitive Load Theory8:00 Defining cognition11:00 Working memory and long-term memory13:00 Retrieval of long-term memory15:00 What is cognitive load?19:00 Working memory holds 4 items: What is an item?24:00 Automaticity26:00 Biologically primary vs biologically secondary knowledge31:00 Mythbusting: “Long-term memory is like a computer system”34:00 How can educators use cognitive load theory?38:00 Explicit teaching 42:00 Productive struggle and productive failure49:00 Final advice*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute
