Making Decisions in Times of Great Uncertainty - L. A. Paul, Yale

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.  Subscribe & like so we can keep
