#164 — Cause & Effect

Sam Harris speaks with Judea Pearl about his work on the
mathematics of causality and artificial intelligence. They
discuss how science has generally failed to understand causation,
different levels of causal inference, counterfactuals, the
foundations of knowledge, the nature of possibility, the illusion
of free will, artificial intelligence, the nature of
consciousness, and other topics.
