Hayley shares how Formula E is tackling gender barriers and driving inclusion in motorsport. With women holding just 3% of racing licenses, initiatives like the women's test programme aim to level the playing field and increase female representation at the highest levels. Over the past 18 months, Formula E has strengthened its ED&I strategy by partnering with experts and collaborating with organisations such as the 93% Club. These efforts are expanding access to motorsport careers and fostering a more inclusive talent pipeline. Hayley also champions HR as a strategic enabler, calling for more HR leaders at the executive table - and more CEOs from HR backgrounds. Her insights challenge traditional views of HR and inspire leaders to use their influence for real, systemic change.

Latvijas 2025. gada ģeovieta – Pūsēnu kalns. Gada koks – goba

2025. gada ģeovieta ir Latvijā augstākā kāpa – Pūsēnu kalns. Tā atrodas Nīcas pagastā, un savulaik tā daļēji tika norakta, veidojot karjeru. Ko šādas vietas stāsta par seniem procesiem Latvijas teritorijā? Cik tālu sauszemē iestiepjas kāpas un ko šādas ģeovietas pasaka par cilvēka darbību? Raidījumā Zināmais nezinājamā sarunājas Latvijas Universitātes Eksakto zinātņu un tehnoloģiju fakultātes asociētais profesors Ģirts Stinkulis, Daugavpils universitātes asociētais profesors Juris Soms un vides gids, kurš pats arī dzīvo Nīcas pagastā, Andris Maisiņš. Pūsēnu kalns ir viena no kāpām, kas ietilpst Papes-Jūrmalciema-Bernātu kompleksajā kāpu grēdā. Šajā grēdā izšķir divus – Papes-Jūrmalciema un Jūrmalciema-Bernātu kāpu posmus. Šos posmus pa vidu pārrauj aptuveni 1,5 km garš pārpūsto smilšu iecirknis, kas izveidojies pirms vairāk nekā 300 gadiem pēc mežu izciršanas un ugunsgrēka. Abus kāpu posmus raksturo gar jūras krastu paralēli esošu kāpu grēda, kas ir veidojusies pēdējo Baltijas jūras stadiju laikā. Dziļāk sauszemē seko otrs kāpu valnis, kas ir vēja deformēto parabolisko un tām līdzīgo kāpu grēda. Šīs kāpas tiek saistītas ar Litorīnas jūras stadiju, un tās norobežojušas lagūnu joslu līdzenumu no jūras. No kāpas virsotnes karjera nogāzes pusē paveras lielisks skats uz apkārtējo ainavu – pāri pamestajai karjera teritorijai un apmežotai piejūras kāpu joslai redzama jūra. Gada ģeovietas nosaukums tiek piešķirts ar mērķi pievērst sabiedrības uzmanību Latvijas īpašajiem ģeoloģiskajiem veidojumiem un to problēmām, sniegt par tiem informāciju, rosināt vietas tālāku izpēti, atjaunošanu, sakopšanu un labiekārtošanu. Plānots, ka publisks izglītojošs pasākums, kas veltīts Latvijas 2025. gada ģeovietai, notiks pie Gada ģeovietas oktobra sākumā, kad pasaulē atzīmē Ģeodaudzveidības dienu. Bet vispirms vēl vienu šī gada varoni – gada koku. Šis gods ticis gobai. Iemesls nominācijai ir ne pārāk iepriecinošs, jo gobu skaits Latvijā samazinās šo koku kaites ietekmē – tā sauktās Gobu Holandes slimības dēļ. Vairāk par gada koku un to, kā gobu atšķirt gobu no tās radinieces vīksnas, stāsta Latvijas dendrologu biedrības pārstāvis Gvido Leiburgs. Latvijas Dendrologu biedrība par Gada koku 2025 izvēlējusies parasto gobu, izceļot šī koka nozīmīgumu un pievēršot uzmanību arvien aktuālajai gobu Holandes slimības izplatībai. Gobas mūsdienās ir apdraudētas gan individuālu koku, gan mežaudžu līmenī. Parastā goba ir majestātisks vasarzaļš gobu dzimtas koks, kas savvaļā sastopams visā Latvijas teritorijā – tā teikts biedrības izplatītājā paziņojumā. Taču šobrīd gobu nemaz tik daudz nav, jo Pēc Valsts meža dienesta 2023. gada datiem mežaudzes, kur valdošā koku suga ir goba vai vīksna, ir tikai 0,07% no visiem Latvijas mežiem. Un te vainīga ir jau minētā slimība, kad sadarbojoties sēnei ar tādu vaboli kā gremzdgrauzi, koki nokalst. Pirms aplūkojam sīkāk šo koku bojāejas cēloni, koku eksperts un Latvijas dendrologu biedrības pārstāvis Gvido Leiburgs stāsta, kā var atšķirt abas gobu ģintij piederošās sugas, proti, gobu un vīksnu, kas ir visai līdzīgas pēc izskata. Savukārt raidījuma ievadā savā grāmatplauktā ļauj ielūkoties pētnieks Andris Saulītis. Latvijas Universitātes Filozofijas un socioloģijas institūta vadošais pētnieks Andris Saulītis iepazīstina ar amerikāņu jurisprudences pētnieka Kesa Sanstīna grāmatu par birokrātiju un to, kas tajā ir analītiski maināms. (Cass R. Sunstein. "Sludge. What Stops Us from Getting Things Done and What to Do about It"). Tās latviskais nosaukums varētu būt "Šķēršļi, kas aptur mūs paveikt lietas un ko ar to iesākt". Šis populārzinātniskais darbs apliecina, ka pārmaiņas likumos var panākt, dažādu nozaru pārstāvjiem sadarbojoties. Interesentiem pieejama gan drukātā versija, gan elektroniskā versija. Pētnieks norāda, ka Latvijas bibliotēku kopkatalogā šo izdevumu nav atradis, bet sola dot ziņu Latvijas Nacionālajai bibliotēkai, kuras darbinieki ir atvērti grāmatu ieteikumiem.

Architecture + Decision Design + Learning Spaces + Strategy with Adam Griff — E142

Design Thinking 101

In this episode, I explore how architectural thinking enhances strategic decision-making with Adam Griff. Our conversation reveals how his architectural background shapes his approach to helping higher education institutions navigate complex decisions and create flexible space solutions. We dig into the challenges of designing spaces that can adapt to unknown futures and discuss how universities can better integrate with their communities. I particularly love how Adam frames flexibility in building design as creating platforms for future adaptations rather than just multi-purpose spaces. We also explore the tension between academic and organizational decision-making and how to create and decide while delivering innovation in higher education. Questions This Episode Helps You Answer How does thinking like an architect help organizations make better strategic decisions? What makes flexibility essential in both physical spaces and organizational processes, and how can we intentionally design for it from the beginning? What elements create environments where good decisions emerge, and how can we support better decision-making outcomes? How do we determine whether physical space is the best solution for achieving our organizational goals, and what questions should we ask before investing in space? How can we think about buildings as adaptable platforms that support evolving human needs rather than fixed structures with predetermined uses? How might universities and colleges create meaningful connections between campus development and community growth that benefit both? What strategies help organizations balance the need for scholarly rigor with efficient administrative decision-making, and how can these different approaches work together effectively?

Yascha Mounk and Cass Sunstein discuss the meaning of free speech and how it should be applied on campus. Cass Sunstein is an American legal scholar and the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard University. Sunstein was the Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs under Barack Obama, and is considered to be the most widely cited legal scholar in the United States. Sunstein is the author, with Richard Thaler, of Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness, The World According to Star Wars, and Campus Free Speech: A Pocket Guide. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Cass Sunstein discuss his "law of group polarization" and how it contributes to today's factionalism; how echo chambers work (and why social media makes them worse); and whether meeting the challenge of misinformation requires new government regulations.

"Mỗi ngày, chúng ta thực hiện đủ loại quyết định, nhưng đáng tiếc là chúng ta thường có những lựa chọn tồi tệ (…). Lý do là vì con người dễ bị tác động bởi nhiều định kiến khác nhau, mà lắm lúc chúng làm ta trở nên thật ngớ ngẩn (…). Người ta cần những cú hích trước những quyết định khó khăn và hiếm khi xảy ra, mà hiện thời họ không có đủ thông tin" - lời giới thiệu của quyển sách viết.

Harvard legal scholar Cass Sunstein joins Mushtaq Gunja and Sarah Spreitzer to delve into the foundational role of the First Amendment in shaping responses to campus protests and free speech issues in higher education. Drawing from his latest book, Campus Free Speech: A Pocket Guide, written in the wake of the protests of spring 2024, Sunstein offers practical insights on the complexities surrounding the issue, including the distinctions between public and private institutions, the implications of Title VI, and more.

Cass Sunstein: Campus Free Speech

Commonwealth Club of California Podcast

Free speech is indispensable on college campuses: allowing varied views and frank exchanges of opinion is a core component of the educational enterprise and the pursuit of truth. But, says renowned legal scholar Cass R. Sunstein, free speech does not mean a free-for-all. The First Amendment prohibits “abridging the freedom of speech,” yet laws against perjury or bribery, for example, are still constitutional. In the same way, valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulating speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So where is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions from impermissible infringement? Join us for a special online-only program in which Sunstein will provide a pragmatic, no-nonsense explainer, taking us through a wide range of scenarios involving students, professors and administrators. He says it's consistent with the First Amendment to punish students who shout down a speaker, but not those who chant offensive slogans; why a professor cannot be fired for writing a politically charged op-ed, yet a university might legitimately consider an applicant's political views when deciding whether to hire her. He explains why private universities are not legally bound by the First Amendment yet should, in most cases, look to follow it. And he addresses the thorny question of whether a university should officially take sides on public issues or deliberately keep the institution outside the fray. He'll draw on the work he put into his new book Campus Free Speech: A Pocket Guide and will provide a concise guide to resolving free-speech dilemmas at colleges and universities.

Exploring Behavioral Economics: Insights from 'Nudge' by Richard H. Thaler

Chapter 1:Summary of Nudge"Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness" is a book by behavioral economist Richard H. Thaler and legal scholar Cass R. Sunstein, first published in 2008. The book explores the concept of "libertarian paternalism" and suggests that private and public institutions can help people make better choices in their lives without eliminating freedom of choice. The central idea of the book is that by properly designing the context in which individuals make decisions—what Thaler and Sunstein call the "choice architecture"—it is possible to influence the choices people make in order to benefit them. A "nudge," as defined by the authors, is any aspect of this choice architecture that alters people's behavior in a predictable way without forbidding any options or significantly changing their economic incentives.Thaler and Sunstein argue that nudges are essential because of human cognitive limitations and biases. For instance, people tend to stick with default options, tend to be influenced by how choices are framed, and often act against their own long-term interests due to present bias and a range of other decision-making flaws.The book covers a variety of areas in which nudges can be applied, including retirement savings plans, healthcare choices, and environmental conservation. For example, automatically enrolling employees into retirement savings plans but giving them the option to opt-out increases savings participation rates dramatically."Nudge" addresses ethical concerns and emphasizes the importance of ensuring that nudges are transparent and never deceitful. It also argues that nudges should be designed to simplify decision-making and improve people's welfare by steering them towards decisions that reflect their own true preferences.Overall, "Nudge" is a significant contribution to the field of behavioral economics, providing insights into how subtle changes in the way choices are presented can have a profound impact on human behavior.Chapter 2:The Theme of Nudge"Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness" is a book authored by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein, first published in 2008. It does not contain a traditional narrative or characters as it is a non-fiction work grounded in the fields of behavioral economics and decision theory. The central thesis of the book revolves around the concept of "libertarian paternalism" and how small design changes in the environment (termed "nudges") can significantly affect individual choices in a way that improves their own welfare. Below are the key plot points, character development, and thematic ideas of the book: Key Plot Points1. Introduction of Libertarian Paternalism:- The book introduces the idea of libertarian paternalism, which endeavors to steer people towards making decisions that would improve their lives while preserving their freedom to choose.2. Choice Architecture:- Thaler and Sunstein discuss "choice architecture," the way choices can be presented to people that influences their decision-making without restricting options.3. Heuristics and Biases:- An exploration of the various cognitive biases and heuristics that typically impede rational decision-making and how these can be redirected through nudges to spawn better choices.4. Aspects of Nudging:- Various methods of nudging are discussed, such as default settings, feedback mechanisms, and the structuring of complex choices in simpler, more digestible forms.5. Applications of Nudging:- The book discusses applications in diverse fields, including finance (e.g., encouraging savings), health (e.g., influencing food choices), education, and environment, illustrating how nudges can lead to substantial improvements in societal well-being.

Sludge can be good when it ensures that people do not behave recklessly or impulsively. But oftentimes, sludge is nothing more than an obstacle to freedom.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Exploring Noise in Charity Evaluations, published by Malin Ploder on July 14, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Hi! My name is Malin and I wrote my master's thesis in cognitive science in collaboration with Don Efficace, a young evaluator organization building their evaluation process to find the most effective charities in France. Together, we set out to explore the concept of noise (see below) in charity evaluations. Many researchers from other evaluator organizations contributed to this endeavor by responding to my survey or participating in interviews. This post serves to summarize my research for them and anyone else who is interested in the topic - have a good read! TL:DR Noise, as defined by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein[1], refers to the unwanted variability in judgments caused by cognitive biases. In charity evaluations, this inconsistency can lead to unreliable recommendations, which can significantly affect the allocation of funds and erode donor trust. Given the complex nature of charity evaluations, noise is likely to occur, making it crucial to address in order to ensure consistent and effective decision-making. Several strategies from other fields have been found effective in reducing noise and can be adapted for charity evaluations: 1. Implement Decision Guidelines and Scales: Break down evaluations into clear criteria. Use scales with anchors and descriptors for consistent assessments. Consider comparative scales to reduce bias in subjective judgments. 2. Adopt Aggregation Strategies: Encourage multiple independent estimates from researchers for cost-effectiveness analyses to improve accuracy. Alternatively, use the options adapted to individuals, where two guesses from the same person are averaged. 3. Use the Mini-Delphi Method: Structure discussions around initial independent estimates, followed by collective deliberation and revised judgments. Future research should focus on measuring noise levels in charity evaluations and testing these strategies' effectiveness. Collaborating with other evaluator organizations can provide valuable insights and help design low-noise processes. Introduction: Noise In the context of my master's thesis, I explored the role of "noise" in charity evaluations. In the context of decision-making, the term noise was popularized by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein[1]. Their work has significantly advanced the application of cognitive sciences to real-life scenarios by demonstrating some of the tangible impacts cognitive biases can have on decision-making. Specifically, they show how cognitive biases may lead to unwanted variability in judgments, which they call noise. I conducted three studies, a review of online information, a study, and interviews to investigate how noise-reduction strategies from the literature could apply to charity evaluations and which recommendations can be derived for Don Efficace. In this text, I summarize my findings as they may be relevant to charity evaluators. If you want to know more, I invite you to read my thesis as well as "Noise: a flaw in human judgment" by Kahneman et al.[1]. The text will be structured as follows: First I introduce noise and why it matters in charity evaluations. Then I will present strategies that have been found to reduce noise in other fields that involve complex judgments, like judicial sentencing, medical diagnoses, or hiring decisions. For each of the strategies, I add the results from my research, setting them into the charity evaluation context. Lastly, I will give an outlook on what future research efforts in the field may look like. Noise in Charity Evaluations You may be familiar with cognitive biases like the confirmation bias, the halo effect, desirability bias, or the anchoring effect and how they can predi...

Chapter 1:Summary of Wiser Book"Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink to Make Groups Smarter" by Cass R. Sunstein examines the phenomenon of groupthink and offers solutions for making groups and organizations smarter and more effective. Sunstein argues that group decision-making processes often lead to errors and biases, but individuals and groups can become wiser by adopting certain strategies.One key strategy is to encourage dissent and diverse perspectives within a group, as this can help avoid groupthink and lead to better decision-making. Sunstein also highlights the importance of creating a culture of transparency and accountability, where mistakes are identified and learned from instead of being hidden or denied.Additionally, Sunstein emphasizes the value of focusing on the quality of arguments and evidence, rather than relying on social dynamics or consensus to make decisions. By promoting a culture of open debate and critical thinking, groups can become wiser and more effective in their decision-making processes.Overall, "Wiser" provides valuable insights and practical strategies for individuals and organizations looking to overcome the challenges of groupthink and improve their decision-making processes.Chapter 2:the theme of Wiser BookKey plot points:- The book follows a young woman named Sophia who is struggling with her life decisions and career path. She meets a mysterious guru named Wiser who claims to have the answers to all of life's questions.- Wiser takes Sophia on a journey through various philosophical ideas and psychological insights, helping her to confront her fears and doubts.- Throughout the book, Sophia learns to trust herself and her own intuition, leading to personal growth and self-discovery.Character development:- Sophia starts off as a hesitant and indecisive individual, unsure of her own abilities and purpose in life. Through her interactions with Wiser and the challenges he presents her with, she grows more confident and self-assured.- Wiser is a enigmatic figure who serves as a mentor to Sophia, guiding her through her journey of self-discovery. He challenges her to think differently and pushes her to confront her deepest fears.- Other characters in the book include Sophia's friends and family members, who provide support and perspective as she navigates her personal and professional life.Thematic ideas:- The book explores themes of self-discovery, personal growth, and finding one's true purpose in life. It delves into questions of identity, meaning, and the search for happiness.- It also delves into philosophical and psychological concepts, such as the power of belief, the nature of reality, and the importance of self-reflection.- Ultimately, the book emphasizes the idea that wisdom and insight come from within, and that by trusting in oneself and following one's own path, one can find fulfillment and contentment.Chapter 3:Meet the Writer of Wiser BookCass R. Sunstein is known for his clear and concise writing style that makes complex ideas accessible to a broad audience. In his book "Wiser," Sunstein continues to utilize this straightforward language style to effectively convey the emotions and meanings embedded within the text.Sunstein's writing skills are particularly evident in how he presents the research and insights on decision-making and judgment in a structured and logical manner. By breaking down complex concepts into digestible pieces, he is able to guide readers through the nuances of cognitive biases and behavioral economics with ease.Additionally, Sunstein's language style in "Wiser" is characterized by a sense of empathy and understanding towards the struggles that individuals...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Pandemic apathy, published by Matthew Rendall on May 5, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. An article in Vox yesterday by Kelsey Piper notes that after suffering through the whole Covid pandemic, policymakers and publics now seem remarkably unconcerned to prevent another one. 'Repeated efforts to get a serious pandemic prevention program through [the US] Congress', she writes, 'have fizzled.' Writing from Britain, I'm not aware of more serious efforts to prevent a repetition over here. That seems surprising. Both governments and citizens notoriously neglect many catastrophic threats, sometimes because they've never yet materialised (thermonuclear war; misaligned superintelligence), sometimes because they creep up on us slowly (climate change, biodiversity loss), sometimes because it's been a while since the last disaster and memories fade. After an earthquake or a hundred-year flood, more people take out insurance against them; over time, memories fade and take-up declines. None of these mechanisms plausibly explains apathy toward pandemic risk. If anything, you'd think people would exaggerate the threat, as they did the threat of terrorism after 9/11. It's recent and - in contrast to 9/11 - it's something we all personally experienced. What's going on? Cass Sunstein argues that 9/11 prompted a stronger response than global heating in part because people could put a face on a specific villain - Osama bin Laden. Sunstein maintains that this heightens not only outrage but also fear. Covid is like global heating rather than al-Qaeda in this respect. While that could be part of it, my hunch is that at least two other factors are playing a role. First, tracking down and killing terrorists was exciting. Improving ventilation systems or monitoring disease transmission between farmworkers and cows is not. It's a bit like trying to get six-year olds interested in patent infringements. This prompts the worry that we might fail to address some threats because their solutions are too boring to think about. Second, maybe Covid is a bit like Brexit. That issue dominated British politics for so long that even those of us who would like to see Britain rejoin the EU are rather loth to reopen it. Similarly, most of us would rather think about anything else than the pandemic. Unfortunately, that's a recipe for repeating it. Thanks for listening.

Neuroscience professor Tali Sharot and Harvard law professor (and presidential advisor) Cass R. Sunstein have investigated why people stop noticing both the great and not-so-great things around them and how to “dishabituate” at the office, in the bedroom, at the store, on social media, and in the voting booth. Have you ever noticed that what is thrilling on Monday tends to become boring on Friday? Even exciting relationships, stimulating jobs, and breathtaking works of art can lose their sparkle after a while. Sharot and Sunstein say that many people stop noticing what is most wonderful in their own lives. They also stop noticing what is terrible. They get used to dirty air. They stay in abusive relationships. People grow to accept authoritarianism and take foolish risks. They become unconcerned by their own misconduct, blind to inequality, and are more liable to believe misinformation than ever before. But what if we could find a way to see everything anew? What if you could regain sensitivity, not only to the great things in your life, but also to the terrible things you stopped noticing and so don't try to change? For fans of Thinking Fast and Slow and The Power of Habit, Sharot and Sunstein offer a new study of how disrupting our well-worn routines, both good and bad, can rejuvenate our days and reset our brains to allow us to live happier and more fulfilling lives.

Vitamin C is a cure for the common cold. Bats are blind. Sugar makes children hyperactive.All of these statements are false. So why are they so pervasive? And why do they feel so true?In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at a phenomenon that can cause us to believe inaccurate information more than we should, and also lead us to trust reliable information less than we should.If you're over a certain age, you might remember friends or family panicking about MSG, or monosodium glutamate, particularly in American Chinese food. But those health concerns stemmed from a single letter to the editor in The New England Journal of Medicine—and a media storm that repeated false information.

Today's book is: Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There (Atria/One Signal Publishers, 2024), by Tali Sharot and Cass R. Sunstein, a book that asks why stimulating jobs and breathtaking works of art lose their sparkle after a while. People stop noticing what is most wonderful in their own lives. They also stop noticing what is terrible, due to something called habituation. Because of habituation, people get used to dirty air, become unconcerned by their own misconduct, and become more liable to believe misinformation. But what if you could dishabituate? Could you find a way to see everything anew? What if you could regain sensitivity, not only to the great things in your life, but also to the terrible things you stopped noticing and so don't try to change? In Look Again, neuroscience professor Tali Sharot and Harvard law professor Cass R. Sunstein investigate why we stop noticing both the great and not-so-great things around us and how to “dishabituate.” This groundbreaking work, based on decades of research in the psychological and biological sciences, illuminates how we can reignite the sparks of joy, innovate, and recognize where improvements urgently need to be made. The key to this disruption—to seeing, feeling, and noticing again—is change. By temporarily changing your environment, changing the rules, changing the people you interact with—or even just stepping back and imagining change—you regain sensitivity, allowing you to more clearly identify the bad and more deeply appreciate the good. Our guest is: Cass R. Sunstein, who is the nation's most-cited legal scholar. For the past fifteen years, he has been at the forefront of behavioral economics. From 2009 to 2012, he served as the administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Since that time, he has served in the US government in multiple capacities and worked with the United Nations and the World Health Organization, where he chaired the Technical Advisory Group on Behavioral Insights and Sciences for Health during the COVID-19 pandemic. He is the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School. His book Nudge, coauthored with Richard Thaler, was a national bestseller. In 2018, he was the recipient of the Holberg Prize from the government of Norway, sometimes described as equivalent of the Nobel Prize for law and the humanities. He lives in Boston and Washington, DC, with his wife, children, and labrador retrievers. He is the co-author [along with Tali Sharot, who could not join us for this episode] of Look Again.

Like George Santos's tenure in Washington and Tim Scott's rousing presidential campaign, all good things must come to an end, and so we wave goodbye to season seven of Digging a Hole. Our last guest of this season needs no introduction: according to our team of in-house scientists, if you stacked a penny for each citation he's received, the tower of pennies would reach almost 1,000 feet high (which, frankly, is not as tall as our scientists expected but is taller than any other scholar's penny tower). That's right – our guest today is an author of a best-selling book about Star Wars, the former Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, and current Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School: Cass Sunstein, here to talk about his new book, How to Interpret the Constitution. We begin by laying out the thesis of the book: that we must have a theory of interpreting the Constitution that comes from outside the Constitution, and that we should choose the interpretive theory that makes our nation the best off. That simple? Sam and David don't think so, and we discuss what it means to make our nation better off, why we need to choose an interpretive theory in the first place, and how we might revise the thesis on a more institutional view. Next, we look at judicial politics and restraint through the specter that haunts our podcast, James Bradley Thayer. And finally, we get to the bottom of Sunstein's predictive judgments about the future of constitutional interpretation and American democracy. See you next year.

We make countless decisions throughout our lives that range from the mundane to the monumental. But how do you decide how you decide? That is the fundamental question in our esteemed guest, Cass R. Sunstein's new book Decisions about Decisions: Practical Reason in Ordinary Life. Cass currently serves as the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard University and is the founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy at Harvard Law School. He is also a prolific author, with one of his most notable works being the hugely popular and impactful book, Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness, which he co-wrote with Richard Thaler in 2008. In today's conversation, we sit down with Cass to discuss the difficulties inherent to understanding why people make the decisions they make and what the latest research teaches us about how we should approach decision-making to maximize our well-being. Cass provides insight into second-order thinking strategies, the difference between picking and choosing, and why delegating a particular decision is sometimes the right call.

Making Sense of Social Media and the Information Landscape | Episode 8 of The Essential Sam Harris

Making Sense with Sam Harris

In this episode, we examine a series of Sam's conversations centered around social media's impact on the information landscape. We begin with Sam's second conversation with Tristan Harris, which was conducted shortly after the release of Tristan's documentary, The Social Dilemma. The documentary lays out Tristan's thesis on how social media is causing the deterioration of both individual and societal welfare. Author and technologist Jaron Lanier follows, echoing Tristan's concerns and shifting the conversation to social media's unique business model, addressing how perverse incentives reliably produce such detrimental outcomes. We then hear from Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter. Sam and Dorsey's conversation took place when Dorsey was still working at Twitter, and Sam still had an account. However, the questions they pose—relating to issues of content moderation and corporate transparency—are even more relevant today. Next, psychologist Jonathan Haidt presents the alarming findings from his research on the psychological effects of social media, detailing how teenage girls are bearing the brunt of a mental health crisis. Shifting to a more political lens, Sam and Cass Sunstein discuss Sunstein's book, #Republic, and Sunstein addresses one of Sam's most pressing fears of the last seven years: how social media is warping our opinions on politics. We then narrow down on this issue, with Zeynep Tufekci explaining the real-life consequences of social media's influence on protest movements. Finally, Sam and technology analyst Nina Schick dive into one of the most urgent concerns of the AI boom: deepfakes and how they might be weaponized to further pollute and degrade our information landscape. About the Series Filmmaker Jay Shapiro has produced The Essential Sam Harris, a new series of audio documentaries exploring the major topics that Sam has focused on over the course of his career. Each episode weaves together original analysis, critical perspective, and novel thought experiments with some of the most compelling exchanges from the Making Sense archive. Whether you are new to a particular topic, or think you have your mind made up about it, we think you'll find this series fascinating.
