Making Decisions in Times of Great Uncertainty - L. A. Paul
When the world seems like it’s moving too fast for comfort, how do you make decisions? Is it a random walk towards an uncertain future? Is it fear based? Is it by gradually whittling down the set of possibilities to the absolute best option, given what you know now? Is it based on some prediction of what the future might hold?
Chances are, it’s a mixture of all of the above, given the circumstances in which you’re making the choice. Our conversation with L.A Paul, a professor of philosophy and cognitive science at Yale University explores the ways in which humans come to make up their minds when facing high-stakes transformative hurdles. She also thinks a lot about the effect that those decisions have on our existence in general.
We consider what it means to choose while embracing uncertainty - and how our relationship to this discomfort can be tempered by a deeper understanding of the ways that rationality and morality overlap.
